Highlighting our Pack Point Winners
At Tiffany Ridge, we use PACK Points to celebrate students who are meeting our four core expectations- Be A Problem Solver, Act Resonsibly, Care for Everyone, Keep Safe. When staff see students doing these things, they are reinforced with verbal reinforcement and a "Pack Point".
Classroom teachers also have Pack Point Menus for students to select rewards of their choice in their classroom.
Give Seven Days: Make a Ripple, Change the World!
This year Tiffany Ridge will be participating in the Seven Days Challenge to increase kindness in ourselves and others. This challenge originated in 2014 when three lives were tragically taken in an act of hate. The families of those lost joined to help spread love and kindness through the community. You can learn more about the organization at givesevendays.org
Each day for one week has a theme and focuses on a different way to show kindness…Seven different ways, Seven different days. Each day includes a spirit wear for school and a suggested activity for students to focus on at school and families to focus on together at home. Students will also be given the opportunity to help make our kindness tree blossom with color by adding their acts of kindness to our tree. Please share photos of how your family is participating by emailing our school Counselor at andesl@parkhill.k12.mo.us.
Summer School
Summer school enrollment ends May 7. After May 7, please call us or visit the Park Hill website to register your children.
