Tustumena Elementary Newsletter
August 15, 2016
Welcome Back!!
It is here, the first day of school! We are ready. Are you? I bet you are!
We have only one staff change this year. Mr. Eric Simondsen will be our music teacher. He comes to us from Anchor Point and Ninilchik. We will still be sharing him with Ninilchik. I hope you will take the opportunity to welcome him to Tustumena.
I will include an image of the supply list in case you haven't been by the school. It is pretty much the same as last year.
There will be lots of things to share later but for now I want to be sure to invite you to the Open House on Monday, August 22, beginning at 5:30. There will be hotdogs and drinks available at the front door. At 5:30 you will be invited to go into your students' classroom and visit with teachers, then at 6:15, everyone in the building will be invited to the gym for a few "universal" pieces of information. I promise I will not talk more than 15 minutes and then everyone, including the teachers, will be sent home to get a good night's sleep in preparation for DAY 1!
Parents of kindergarten students, please remember you will need to bring your students to school the first day and every kindergarten student will be here only half a day for the first three days of school. Please call the school, 260-1345 if you have any questions about the schedule.
I am looking forward to seeing you all.
Sincerely,
Doug Hayman
Principal
