The Tiger Parent Newsletter
Week of January 9-12
Hello
Happy New Year, Timberline Families!
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and a fantastic beginning to 2018!
As we head into the second half of our school year, our Timberline Tigers will continue living our strong tradition of leadership. Tigers will present the CALA Showcase which includes artwork they've created this year and Timberline will once again have the opportunity to represent GCISD and the Dallas-Ft. Worth area at the Leader in Me Symposium. Just as important, staff and students will continue seeking opportunities each day to lead as we learn together. There will be new leadership opportunities for parents, too! This shared leadership is one of the characteristics that sets Timberline apart and is something we're so proud to continue in 2018.
We look forward to seeing all our Tigers Tuesday morning. Stay warm everyone!
Proud to be your principal,
Ms. Ingram

A Note from the Nurse!
-If your child has a fever of 100 degrees or greater, please keep them at home. They may return to school after they have been fever free for 24 hours (without medication that lowers their temperature).
-If your child needs to take medication during school hours please come see the nurse and fill out and sign a medication permission form. You may also find the form in the GCISD website here. The medication needs to be in the original container and be approved by the FDA.
Wrapping Paper Winners!
2nd and 4th grade came in a close second and third place.
Thank you to all of those who participated. We were able to donate a little over 150 wrapping paper rolls to GRACE. Way to synergize!

Ride Change, Doctor's Appointments and Emergency Care for Late Pickups
The school will follow the direction you provided about how your child gets home each day. If there is a change to this, you must notify the office in one of the following ways:
Send a written note with your child with details for how he or she will get home that day.
Email maria.reyes@gcisd.net and kimberly.becerra@gcisd.net with details for how you child will be picked up prior to 2:00 p.m.
Call the office 817-251-5770 prior to 2:00 p.m.
Changes cannot be made by text messages or calls to teachers. Teachers are working with your children during the school day and we can’t ensure that information will get to the office.
If your child has a doctor's appointment that requires leaving school early:
- Please notify the office the day before the appointment so the office has time to prepare necessary checkout for you.
- Pick up your child prior to 2:30 for early release. Because of the size of our school, we are not able to process early pickups after this time. This is a shared policy across GCISD elementary campuses.
- Send a doctor's note in with your child the following day so that we are able to excuse the partial absence.
If you have an emergency and are not able to pick up your child(ren) by 3:20:
- Your child(ren) will be taken to KidzU for supervision at which time an emergency care fee is charged.
- KidzU is located at the Timberline Annex, across from the LAC.
- Unless there are unforeseen circumstances such as inclement weather, our car rider dismissal line is cleared by 3:20.
- If possible, please call the office to alert us of the emergency.
TES School Report Card
Attached you will find our 2016–17 TEA School Report Card (SRC) . The School Report Card provides information concerning student performance on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®), as well as, as information on student enrollment, class size averages, and financial expenditures. The School Report Card for each campus can also be found on TEA's website at https://rptsvr1.tea.texas.gov/perfreport/src/2017/campus.srch.html.
In addition to the School Report Card, the more detailed Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR) for our campus can be accessed online at https://rptsvr1.tea.texas.gov/perfreport/tapr/2017/srch.html?srch=C.
If you have any questions about either report, please contact me. Paper copies of both reports can be viewed in our main office.
