Message from Administration
Parents,
Hope you had a great weekend! We look forward to greeting the students on Monday.
We look forward to having a great week together and wish the students a fabulous Spring Break, March 12th-16th. They certainly deserve it after all of their hard work toward reaching their goals and school wide goals.
We'd love some WatchDOGS on campus Tuesday, March 6th for the Election Day. Since we are a polling site, it brings lots of visitors. Your presence on campus is irreplaceable. We also hope you will mark your calendar for Mother's Day Cake Decorating, Friday, May 11th.
Enjoy your week!
Sincerely,
Tara Bailey

NEISD Used Book Sale Collection - Clean out your bookshelves for a great event! We will be collecting gently used books, CDs, and DVDs from March 1-31. A collection box will be available in the inside foyer of the school. Please remember to fill out the tags from the flyer (available on the PTA website) that was sent home and tape it to each of your bags/boxes of books.
Our school receives a portion of the sales so please consider supporting the sale and our school! The Used Book Sale will be held April 5-8 at the Blossom Athletic Center gym. More info is available on the PTA website. It’s a great way to stock your shelves with your favorite books. Please contact Summer Broome at booksale@tuscanyheightspta.org with any questions.
THE Community Service News – Are you logging your Tiger community service hours? Your volunteer service not only helps your community, but it also earns you recognition and rewards! On Friday morning announcements through March, we will be showcasing some of our Tigers and their volunteer hours.

For the Presidential Volunteer Service Award (PVSA), students age 5-10 years old that record 26 or more hours and students age 11-13 years old that record 50 or more hours will be eligible to receive an official PVSA certificate and pin. There are 3 levels of rewards: Bronze, Silver, & Gold. Please see the PTA website for more details. Hours must be turned in by April 15th, 2018.
