Tarvin Times

December 3, 2021

Trailblazers,


We are doing something different at Tarvin for our Holiday parties. On Dec. 16th, we will host a school-wide party. Students will go through 3 stations with their grade level. One station is a movie, one is arts, crafts, and games and one is bounce houses. Room moms have been planning the arts, crafts, and games station and PTA is supplying the bounce houses. If you want to volunteer, please reach out to your room parent or your teacher. If you would like to join us, complete this form: https://forms.gle/heRCQBKfnrUrBA1E7


K-2: 9:00 to 10:30

3-5:10:30-12:00

PreK: Check with your teacher.



Together in Learning,

Christy Hilbun

National Family Code Night

Tarvin Elementary invites you to participate in our National Family Code Night, a free live-stream event for our K-5 families. This is a fun learning experience in which children do their first hour of coding with a parent or other partner. No experience needed! The event has been held in thousands of schools nationwide, and is now provided to our school via a live stream. Participants will be entered into a drawing for a license to Dash’s Neighborhood, a virtual robotics playground, from Wonder Workshop. So, save the date and get ready for a community learning experience the whole family will value and enjoy.

Our Livestream Family Code night will be December 8th, 2021 at 7:00 pm (central).

You will join the Livestream at that time with this link: https://www.youtube.com/CSisElementary/live"
