Construction Update
Hello Parents! You will soon begin seeing construction work taking place on the old District Office building that is being transformed into additional space for Tiger Paw. We want to make sure you know what is happening. Construction crews will begin working on the exterior of the building by replacing old mortar between the bricks (tuckpointing), replacing windows, and replacing the entryway steps and pillars.
There will be a construction fence along the side of the building, but the sidewalk will remain open. This work will have no impact on our current classrooms. As we continue this process, we will inform you of any changes and share our progress!

READY to READ!
Research has proven that reading to our children at an early age is extremely beneficial to their development. Reading to our kids helps stimulate the brain, allowing them to understand the meaning of language and helps them build key literacy and social skills.
In order to help foster a love of reading at an early age and establish good library skills, we are starting up our library program here at Tiger Paw.
Each week your child will have the opportunity to visit our loaning library. We will provide a library envelope to help protect the books from getting lost or damaged. Please be sure to read the book with your child, ask questions about the story and pictures, and return it to your child's backpack.
Happy reading!
Hello from our School Social Worker
A message from Miss Mary...
Hello Tiger Paw Families!
Research shows that students who participate in social and emotional learning have overall better outcomes in academic achievement and attitudes about themselves and others. It is my privilege to provide opportunities for our students to meet in social and emotional learning small groups. These groups will work on the following skills:
-sharing with others
-taking turns
-accepting no & using calming strategies
-listening and following directions
-following rules
-stating needs
-transitioning
-being flexible
-feeling empathy for others
Looking forward to working with students on these social and emotional skills,
