It's A Short Week
Just as a reminder, after school skiing is over for the year, we will follow each student's pre-skiing after school plan for Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Yearbook order forms are being sent home this week. You may order online with a credit card at ybpay.lifetouch.com with yearbook ID 14063020 or with the paper form turned into school with exact cash or check made payable to Tustumena Elementary.
Last week we had a "surprise fire drill" on a very cold day and the building needed to be evacuated. We would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone about dressing appropriately. No tank top or sleeveless shirts or dresses should be worn unless a sweater or covering is worn with it. No open-toe shoes or sandals. Shorts may be worn before October 1st and after May 1st, but not between October 1st and May 1st. It is suggested that girls wearing dresses or skirts have tights or pants underneath. There are several reasons for these expectations, one of which is the weather outside. While students wear warm gear during recess, there are often fire drills - with or without warning, or may be actual emergencies, in which there is not time to “prepare” with warm gear, therefore, appropriate attire is needed at all times. Layers are strongly encouraged so students are ready for the warm inside as well as the chilly outside if needed.
Also, our PTO is requesting donations of individually-wrapped candy for their Community Easter Egg Hunt. Your donations can be brought to the school office. Thank you for your generosity!
