Tiger News
September 22, 2023
Hello Tiger Families!
It was an AMAZING week filled with lots of buzz and energy! Our students are getting into the swing of things…projects, advisory lessons, routines, and crazy assemblies. We have set an ambitious PTO fundraising goal of $20,000 as a school…with an ambitious payoff. My hair…orange! (Eek!)
Also, don’t forget to sign up for conferences via Meet the Teacher. An email went out earlier this week about it. Let us know if you need help signing up.
Have a great weekend!

Pictures
We know it is a busy time for families and sometimes you forget to order pictures on picture day. If you forgot to order, we have great news. Families can now order their student portraits on mylifetouch.com using their student ID number.
Retake day is scheduled for 10/19/23. If your student will be taking another photo, they will need the picture package on retake day to give to the photographer.
Gifted and Talented Referrals
Each year, schools in St. Vrain Valley School District complete a process to identify students who demonstrate exceptional ability or performance in one or more academic areas and may, therefore, qualify for Gifted/Talented educational services. Read more below in our “Recent Updates”. The deadline is quickly approaching.

Attendance
Extended Absences: Please notify the school of any extended absences (over 2 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 make up schoolwork after the absence.
Daily Attendance Caller: Daily attendance calls indicating a student has a tardy or has an unknown absence from one or more classes go out every day at 4:30pm.
If you know your student will be absent or tardy, please fill out the Google form and it will be noted in our system.
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.
