The Tiger Parent Newsletter
Week of November 13-17
Happy Weekend, Tiger Families!
As we head into the week before our Thanksgiving break, I wanted to take a moment to say how grateful I am for each of you. I appreciate the love you have for our school, our staff and our community. I appreciate the smiles and waves you give us every morning at drop off and every afternoon at dismissal. I appreciate how you pitch in whether it's for Dad's Club Campout, Taste of Timberline, volunteering in the parent center, going on field trips or donating supplies for our classrooms and clubs.
Most of all, though, I appreciate you sharing the most precious things you have in your lives with us - your children. I am incredibly grateful to have them in MY life every day.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving holiday with your families and friends!
Proud to be your principal,
Ms. Ingram

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 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.
