Tiogue's Weekly Family Newsletter
February 1, 2020 - No.23
On Friday, January 31st, we celebrated Omphalocele Awareness Day at Tiogue. Omphalocele is a medical condition where a child’s organs are born outside of the body. One of our Kindergarten students, Paige, was born with this condition. Her strength and uniqueness are an inspiration to all of us! Thank you for supporting her by wearing black and white or Cow Print (the colors of Omphalocele awareness) last Friday.
Jump Rope For Heart is BACK!! The week of February 10th. Thanks, Mrs. DelSanto - Kudos to you- we already have over $600 in online donations, already.
Important Information at Tiogue
*Important Information - Please read*
Important information about parking on East Shore-
Sometimes we need to send out a reminder that we can only park on the school side of the street on the road adjacent to the school. Once your drive down East Shore Drive past our school (on the left), you can only turn around and park your vehicle on the school side. Also, we have had some inquiries lately from neighbors asking us to remind you to not block their driveways, too. Thank you for your cooperation.
Tiogue is proud to again be a Title One, Feinstein Leadership School!

Annual RIDE SurveyWorks Information
Dear Parents & Guardians:
The Rhode Island Department of Education is currently administering its yearly SurveyWorks Family Survey, which is an opportunity for parents & guardians to provide feedback about our school and our children’s opportunities to learn. The survey results are most useful when all parents participate, so I am writing to ask you to participate in this survey.
Your views on matters like the safety of your child at school, the way students are taught, the condition of the school, and how connected you feel to this school are important. By taking this short survey you can help our school leadership and our parent-teacher organization to make improvements to our school. Responses are anonymous and cannot be linked to any individual; no one can tie your responses back to you.
You can take the short survey online between February 1st and March 31th. To take the survey, visit: surveys.panoramaed.com/ride then enter: 06116family to gain access to Tiogue School's Survey. Each school in the state has their own individual code.
If you come to our PTA Meetings in February and/or March, you will also be able to access a computer device to take the survey. With the link, surveys can also be completed using a Smart Phone.
Thank you,
Dom Giusti
February 7th - Our PTA Sweetheart Dance at the Quidnessett Country Club - RSVPs were due by January 29th!
