The Ducky Bucket Hat won! Mr. Tomasek wore it with pride allllllll week!

Hello Tiger Families!

We had an AWESOME week! Our students did such a great job focusing on our state testing and making sure that our academic achievement is reflected in our state testing results. Nice work, Erie!

We also had a VERY successful CMAS Snack Drive! Our students have been able to enjoy a snack every day of CMAS, and we only need to purchase one day’s worth of snacks. This saved us a lot of money to be used in more instructionally-focused ways. THANK YOU to all the parents who donated. Mr. Tomasek has donned his ducky hat all week 🙂

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.

Yellow starburst that says Attendance Matters!  White wording that is on the left of the graphic that says 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.
