The Tiger Times
March 2023
From the Principal
Dear Mohawk Families,
I hope you enjoyed your winter break. March is full of activities and spring is right around the corner! The best part about March, it's Reading Month! This year's theme is "Read Under the Big Top". "Come One, Come All and Read!". We have a lot planned so be sure to check out the reading month calendar below.
Spring conferences are by invitation only on March 15th & 16th. Please contact your child's teacher if you would like to request a conference.
Attendance is a huge concern. You will receive a letter when your child reaches 10, 15, and 20 absences. Please make sure we are aware if your child is sick. It will be counted as an excused absence. Truancy is considered at 20 absences but there are factors we take into account before filing such as making up missed work and communication with the teacher. If you have questions, please call the office.
Educationally yours,
Ms. Andrea Verellen
Principal

Parking Lot Problems
Just a reminder, cars cannot park in the bus loop from 8:10-8:25am or 3:00-3:15pm.
Thank you for helping keep our kids safe!!
Drop off/Pick Up Procedures
Cars are not allowed to park, drop off or pick up in the bus loop from 8:10-8:26am and 3:00-3:15pm. The busses must be able to get in and out of the loop easily. Too many cars are trying to drop off or pick up students in between the busses. If you want to drop off or pick up your child at the side walk, then do so once the busses leave. The best thing to do is to park and walk with your child. Students are NOT allowed to walk in the parking lot by themselves. A few extra minutes can make a huge difference in the safety of our students.
Reminders
Dismissal
- If you need to pick up your student early, please do so before 3:00pm. If you come after 3:00pm, you will need to wait for dismissal.
- Students will be called down to the office for an early dismissal once you arrive. We will not have them ready ahead of time.
- Changes in dismissal plans for your child need to be communicated to the office by 2:45pm. This will give us enough time to inform your child(ren) and avoid any confusion.
Spring Book Fair
Background checks are required for all volunteers. If you would like to volunteer and need a criminal record check, please contact the office.
MARCH is READING MONTH!
