Tiger News
December 1, 2023
Hello Tiger Families!
And just like that…it is DECEMBER! We had a fantastic week back from Thanksgiving Break, and we are gearing up for the last few weeks of the quarter. I would like to take a moment to give families a heads up on our upcoming iReady testing. This middle of year benchmark is extremely important as we monitor our students’ progress in reading and math. iReady testing will take place on Tuesday, December 5th and Tuesday, December 12th. Please help support your student by making sure their iPad is charged, they eat a good breakfast, and they get to school on time.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Attendance Tips
Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow
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.
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.
