Tiogue's Weekly Family Newsletter
September 8, 2018 - No.2
What's Happening at Tiogue Elementary School, Home of the Timberwolves
We were so happy to see all of our new kindergarten students last week.
Now we are whole at Tiogue!
Our K-5 student family is complete.
Thank you for your patience around busing issues. We have many new drivers and the first few weeks of school are usually the times when routes are refined and drivers get used to traffic patterns and new bus stops. The drivers and monitors are working hard to get to learn who all of your children are as well. It appears that we will have buses arriving on time at school as these first days are behind us.
Don't forget that our annual Open House is set for Thursday, September 20th from 6:30pm-8pm.
All the best,
-Mr. Giusti
