Tiger Family Newsletter
Week of January 29- February 2
Hello Tiger Families!
We can hardly believe it's almost here!! Our Timberline Leader in Me Symposium visit is this Friday, February 2nd! We will have visitors from all over our state and beyond. Board Members, community leaders and district administration will be on hand to see how our Tigers lead and learn. We get the chance for others to set to see what we all know...the Timberline life is the life for us! Our students are the heart of our school and it is a huge source of pride that they represent the school, the TES staff, families and community in such an important way!
You can follow all of the action on our Facebook page. Like us here! You can also follow us on Twitter here! (This is where you can see all that's going on every day at our school!)
Have a wonderful weekend!
Proud to be your principal,
Ms. Ingram

Upcoming Math Telescoping Exams
Is your child ready to "telescope" to an above grade level math classroom?
Students have the opportunity to take a math course in the grade level that they test to, while still continue instruction in all other areas in their current grade level!
Parent Technology Academy!
Parent Technology Academy is a free monthly series by GCISD Technology developed to help educate our community about our ever-changing digital world! Learn about Internet safety and the things you can do to protect your children at home. Discussions about the online safe use of technology in this ever-changing digital world our students are growing up in.
In addition, guest speakers from Cisco will be on hand to show you how to set up FREE home Internet filtering (OpenDNS) tools to help protect all your home devices from inappropriate and or malicious content.

Ride Change, Doctor's Appointments and Emergency Care for Late Pickups
The school will follow the direction you provided about how your child gets home each day. If there is a change to this, you must notify the office in one of the following ways:
Send a written note with your child with details for how he or she will get home that day.
Email maria.reyes@gcisd.net and kimberly.becerra@gcisd.net with details for how you child will be picked up prior to 2:00 p.m.
Call the office 817-251-5770 prior to 2:00 p.m.
Changes cannot be made by text messages or calls to teachers. Teachers are working with your children during the school day and we can’t ensure that information will get to the office.
If your child has a doctor's appointment that requires leaving school early:
- Please notify the office the day before the appointment so the office has time to prepare necessary checkout for you.
- Pick up your child prior to 2:30 for early release. Because of the size of our school, we are not able to process early pickups after this time. This is a shared policy across GCISD elementary campuses.
- Send a doctor's note in with your child the following day so that we are able to excuse the partial absence.
If you have an emergency and are not able to pick up your child(ren) by 3:20:
- Your child(ren) will be taken to KidzU for supervision at which time an emergency care fee is charged.
- KidzU is located at the Timberline Annex, across from the LAC.
- Unless there are unforeseen circumstances such as inclement weather, our car rider dismissal line is cleared by 3:20.
- If possible, please call the office to alert us of the emergency.
