Love of Reading Week
There will be no school Friday, February 14th and Monday, February 17th for Parent-Teacher Conferences. We look forward to seeing you and discussing your child's progress.
Tustumena Shirt orders (for pullovers not t-shirts/sweatshirts) are due Monday, February 17th. Order forms have been sent home and are available in the front office as well.
Our Lost & Found is growing! Please be sure to check it out and have your child check for lost belongings. Smaller items are in the office so feel free to ask to see the small item lost and found. Items will be placed on a "free" table during conferences on Friday and Monday, then donated.
Reminder: Tustumena Elementary is encouraging confidence and independence! How can you help? Parents, please say goodbye to your children in the foyer. Students know where their lockers and classrooms are located and are responsible for getting themselves ready and to class. If you have a matter that you need to discuss with a teacher, you may either send a note or call to schedule a time to meet with them. This allows teachers to greet their students as they arrive and begin instruction on time. The ONLY EXCEPTION is PreK parents may walk their children down to class between 8:45 and 9am for morning PreK and 12:50-1pm for afternoon PreK. If PreK students arrive late, a staff member will walk them to class.
