Parents,

Good Evening!

We are welcoming our teachers back this week, tomorrow! We will be working with them in professional development settings while giving them some time to prepare their rooms for students. See below for the important dates as well as a picture and short bio from some of our new staff members. We had to say goodbye to a few of our staff members this year as they moved out of San Antonio and/or accepted promotions in their careers. Although we will miss them, we are thrilled at the new team members that will be sharing their talents here at Tuscany Heights. Thank you for helping us welcome each one!

Important dates and information:

August 21-25, 2017- Teachers will return on the 21st and participate in professional development throughout the week while finalizing their rooms. On the evening of August 21st, starting at 4:00pm, teachers will send a video message out to their new students welcoming them. The excitement begins!

We have collaborated with previous teachers, reviewed programming, and reviewed your feedback from the Student Placement forms to determine this year's class placements. We use careful thought and consideration to ensure that we find the best classroom environment for all of our students. We appreciate your support in greeting, meeting, and working with your child's new teacher(s) to foster positive relationships and overall classroom success as we begin a new school year.
