Tiger News
January 12, 2024
Hello Tiger Families!
Hello Tiger Families,
Happy New Year! We are cranking away already in 2024! As a staff, we have been working on some key professional development topics, including Schoology organization and specific strategies to boost opportunities for our students to write as part of the learning process.
I am taking some time to pour over our mid-year iReady data as well as some other data points to get a clear picture of our progress as a school. I will be sharing this overview with our teachers and families in the next few weeks.
Finally, I would like to encourage you to read through this newsletter each week as our spring semester gets bussssssyyyyy with lots of events. The best way to stay up to date is to take a quick moment to look over this newsletter each Friday afternoon.
Thank you!

Attendance Tips
Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow
Erie Middle School would like to highlight the importance of your child’s consistent attendance.
Regular attendance is a critical factor in academic success, fostering social and emotional growth, and preparing students for the future. It directly contributes to a positive school culture and ensures your child doesn’t miss out on valuable learning opportunities. An attendance rate below 90% is considered “Chronically Absent”.
While we understand occasional absences may occur, we encourage you to schedule appointments and vacations outside of school hours when possible. All absences after the equivalent of 10 school days in a school year will be unexcused without a medical note. Open communication is key—if your child must miss school, please notify us promptly so we can support them in catching them up academically.
Your partnership in your child’s education is invaluable. If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to reach out.
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.
