New Drop Off Line
All drop off riders use the regular drop off line at the front gym entrance between 7:00-7:20.
If you arrive after 7:20 use the following lines:
Yellow riders drop off in the back, like yellow pick-up, near the dumpsters. It is marked by a yellow X on the map. The entrance leads straight to the cafeteria.
Blue riders continue to drop off as normal at the front gym entrance.
Both doors will close at 7:45. You will need to take your child to the front office and check them in tardy at that time.

TCAP Family Portal
Parents and guardians deserve clear information about their child’s education and progress. To meet this need, we are excited to share a useful tool from the Tennessee Department of Education—the TCAP Family Portal.
The TCAP Family Portal is available for families of students who participated in the spring 2021 TCAP administration and track your student’s scores over time. We look forward to hearing your feedback on this improved tool and encourage you to share your opinion—look for the feedback survey within the portal. Each year, parts of the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) are given to all students in grades 3 through high school for educators and families to measure what students know, where there are opportunities for growth, and how they can best support students.
On the TCAP Family Portal, families can find detailed, personalized, information about their student’s progress and what to do next. In the TCAP Family Portal, you can: • get immediate, on-demand access to your student’s state test results via your phone or computer, • track your student’s progress over time with the “Test History” feature; • learn the areas where your student demonstrated strengths and the areas where they can grow; and • find clear next steps to help your student improve.
Families can register for the portal at familyreport.tnedu.gov with their student’s state ID number. Your student's state ID, which is also referred to as a USID, is located on the top left-hand corner of your student's printed score report. If you do not have a score report to reference, please contact your school and ask for your student's state ID number. Use the seven-digit number found on your student's ISR and add two zeroes in front of that number. The resulting nine-digit number will enable you to create an account for your student. For example, a state ID 1234567 would become 001234567.
Data from the spring 2021 window will be available in the portal Friday, July 30 for TCAP and Friday, August 20 for TCAP-Alternate. The online portal and the printable reports were designed with input from Tennessee families and include easy to-understand icons, clear next-step language, and visual displays. In addition to this resource, families will continue to receive printed score reports for the annual state tests from their student’s school. A TCAP Family Portal FAQ is here for reference.
Printed score reports will be sent home Monday.

Student Council
Are you interested in helping others in our school and community? Would you like to work towards making our school a better place? If so, you are perfect for Student Council! Student Council is an organization of students who work towards improving their school and community.
Student Council is made up of two representatives from each 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade classroom. The Student Council will meet once or twice a month to coordinate school and community projects.
In order to be a member of the Student Council, a student must:
• be a good role model
• demonstrate leadership qualities
• maintain good grades (no office referrals)
• maintain grades of A’s and B’s (3rd and 4th)
• maintain good attendance (few absences and tardies)
• be available during recess once or twice a month to attend meetings
• not already engaged in Paw patrol and Book Squad
If you are interested in being a Student Council member from your class:
Step 1: Application- Each 2nd ,3rd, or 4th grade student interested in being on the Student Council must fill out the application form on the back of this letter that will be used to determine eligibility. Once the teacher has determined that a student is eligible, he/she may run for representative of that classroom. Applications must be submitted to teachers by August 30, 2021
Step 2: Selection- once all applications are submitted, students meeting the requirements will be placed in a bag and selected at random. Each class will have one boy and one girl representative.
Step 3: Submit names of Student Council Members- Each teacher will submit the name of the two student council representatives by 4:00 p.m. on August 31, 2021.
Applications will be available at school and can be print below.
