Tiger News
November 10, 2023
Hello Tiger Families!
This week we introduced CHALLENGE DAYS during Advisory. Each grade level will have one challenge day each month to earn points for their grade level. The purpose of Challenge Days is to create and foster a sense of community and FUN. We want to promote the power of play in our school, and we are excited for our monthly Challenge Day Activities.
Seventh grade got to go first! This month it was “Bean Bag Cone Toss” which is basically like a game of moving cornhole. Seventh grade students had a BLAST and earned 249 points! We will see how 6th and 8th grade students do next week to determine which grade level wins.
I also held our first Parent and Community Leadership Collective this week and met with 11 parents to collaborate on how we can best support our students. We had a wonderfully rich conversation, and I am so grateful to work in such a fantastic community with such engaged parents.
Have a great weekend!

Attendance Tips
Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow
Extended Absences: Please notify the school at least 2 weeks prior to any extended absences (over 3 consecutive days) 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.
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.
Please provide the school with a note from the doctor, orthodontist, dentist, therapist, or any appointment each time you go.
If you know your student will be absent, tardy or checking out of school please fill out this Google form.
PTO Connection
Our first restaurant night is Tuesday, November 14th from 11am – 9pm. Mention EMS and they will donate 10% back to our school. Piripi is located at 615 Briggs St., Suite C in Erie.
