Principal's Point
Where do I even begin? It's hard to believe that this is our last week of school and my last newsletter. There are no words to express just how much I love Timbers Elementary school and this amazing community. Thank you for sharing your children with me for the past three years; I can only hope that they have grown as much as I have in our time together. I will miss them, but I look forward to volunteering on campus from time to time so we don't forget each other!
Let's make it a MEMORABLE week on purpose!
Counselor's Corner
I have started preparing for the next school year, and I would love to hear your input on the Parent Needs Assessment. Your responses will help me guide my program and plan for the 2022-2023 school year. To complete the Parent Needs Assessment click here.
News You Can Use
Reporting Cases of COVID-19
Please continue to keep scholars home if they are not feeling well and have symptoms that are associated with Covid-19. Reach out to our registrar, Erika Bryant, to alert her to your child's absence so that they absence can be excused. Please note that scholars who are absent for 3 days or more must return with a written excuse, preferably from a doctor. We thank you for doing your part to keep our school healthy. We, too, are working to keep everyone healthy and safe by minimizing touchpoints, limiting the sharing of materials, cleaning common areas more frequently, misting classrooms nightly, spacing scholars out in the cafeteria during lunch, having classes play in separate recess zones, reminding scholars to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds whenever they go to the restroom, frequently using hand sanitizer and keeping hand sanitizing stations located throughout the campus, having masks available to anyone who would like to wear one, and using bottle fillers instead of the water fountains.

Rainy Day Dismissal vs. Severe Weather Dismissal
Timbers has 2 types of inclement weather dismissal:
1. RAINY DAY DISMISSAL
LIGHT RAIN ONLY, NO WARNINGS
Electronic Notification (text/email) to parents by 2:45 pm.
Inform your child’s teacher if your child has permission to walk/bike home in light rain. Scholars who cannot walk/bike home in light rain will be dismissed as either front car riders (front walkers/bikers) OR back car riders (back walkers/bikers).
Back car riders are dismissed from the cafeteria and front car riders are dismissed from the front hallway.
Rainy day dismissal can become severe weather dismissal if conditions change.
2. SEVERE WEATHER DISMISSAL: ALL SCHOLARS WILL BE DISMISSED AS CAR RIDERS
