Tiger Cubs Reach For The Stars!
Dear College Hills Parents & Guardians,
What a great time of year it is for school. We now have our routines down and school activities are picking up. Our wonderful PTO just finished an amazing plant sale. The parking lot was packed with plants and people buying them. Field trips have started in several grades and we have several upcoming school wide events. Mark your calendar for Parent Conference Day on October 14th, Fall Pictures on October 16th, Math and Science Night on October 17th, Fall Book Fair October 21st-25th and Book Character Parade on October 25th.
On another note, College Hills will have a public meeting on October 21st in the cafeteria starting at 3:30 pm to discuss our campus Targeted Improvement Plan (TIP). This plan will be included with our Campus Improvement Plan (CIP) for the school board to review and approve. During this meeting we will discuss the plan and accept public input.
Also, we are looking for more parents to join our PTO and we still need more parent volunteers to help get our Spring Fundraiser moving forward. PTO meetings are the second Thursday of the month in the school Library at noon. We look forward to seeing you there!
Have a Tigerific Day!
Josh Hatfield

Book Fair Family Night & Dinner

Book Character Parade
School starts with a parade--a parade of characters from favorite books. Stand along Williams Street for a view as the each class makes their way across the front of the school and then to the gym for a prep rally celebrating reading! Parents will not need to check into the front office if watching along the parade route outside. However, to come into the gym for the pep rally, parents will need to be wearing their visitor sticker. Rainy day weather doesn't stop us, but may necessitate changes. The book fair will be open in the library and parents may drop in following the pep rally. Check with teachers as the event nears for details.
