Tiger News
April 5, 2024
Hello Tiger Families!
This week we held our annual food drive to benefit the Erie Food Bank, and our students collected over 441 food items! A huge thank you to our PTO for putting together all the information and taking the food to the food bank. And thanks to Mrs. Fenster’s Advisory for collecting and counting food items all week!
We continued our Snack Drive for CMAS and we are up to 1,700 individual snacks. This is enough to get us through 5 days of our testing which is fantastic! Monday is our last day to collect snacks and it is a DOUBLE VOTE day. Any snacks brought in on Monday will count for TWO votes for a hat that Mr. Tomasek will wear during testing sessions of CMAS. So far the Ducky hat is in the lead by over 400 snacks with the poop emoji hat in second place. See below for more info!
Next week is CMAS testing starting on Tuesday. I recently sent out an update with important information and will be sending out an email reminder on Sunday.
Also, parents, please take a moment to check out the Recent Updates section of our newsletter each week. This is where a lot of our information is posted.
CMAS Snack Drive!
During CMAS we like to provide students with a snack during their assessment time. We know we have lots of parents that look for opportunities to donate to our efforts, so we are running a SNACK DRIVE this week and next week to collect single-serving snack options that we can distribute during CMAS.
We are looking for donations of the following single-serving/individually- packaged snack items:
- Goldfish crackers
- Granola bars
- Trail Mix
- Mini-muffins
- Fruit leather
- Fruit snacks
- Pretzels
- Energy bars or Protein bars
- Cheese Sticks
- Cutie Oranges
- Apple slices
- Crackers
- Fruit bars (Nutri-grain, etc.)
- Gluten-free snack options
- Any other individual snack ideas you have 🙂
Simply have your student drop off the snacks in the main office.
And, let’s add a little fun…whichever drop off bucket your student puts their snacks in becomes a “vote” for the type of hat that Mr. Tomasek will wear during CMAS testing sessions. Will it be a ducky-bucket hat, a shiny goal $$ hat, or a poop emoji hat? Let’s have some fun with it!

Attendance Tips
Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow
If you plan on leaving early for Spring Break please remember to fill out our google form ahead of time.
If your student is absent for a full day, you have 24-48 hours to call in with the reason for the absence, after that it will be marked unexcused. Per board policy, if a student is absent 10 days excused or not, absences will begin to be marked “unexcused” unless previously noted and approved by school administration or there is a doctor’s note provided to the school.
Extended Absences: Please notify the school at least 2 weeks prior to any extended absences via our Google form. You and your student will also need to sign off on our “Extended Absence Form” located in our front office. This form helps students and parents understand how to communicate with teachers and make up schoolwork after the absence.
If you know your student will be absent, tardy or checking out of school please fill out this Google form.
Please provide the school with a note from the doctor, orthodontist, dentist, therapist, or any appointment each time you go.
