Tustumena Elementary Newsletter
March 24, 2020
Lots of Information
With everything going on, we thought some fun, lighter information might be appreciated, as well as information about distance learning.
Enstar is doing their Fourth Annual "Call Before You Dig" Kids' Art Contest. Release form and submission information is below. Since we will not have school in the building before the contest is over, please submit your entries directly to Enstar at the address on the flyer, do NOT bring them to the school.
Also, we will still have a yearbook! We are going forward and completing the 2019-2020 Tustumena Yearbook. Since we cannot accept items at school, you cannot submit paper forms and payments (unless you turned them in before spring break). Therefore, here is the online ordering information: You may order online with a credit card at ybpay.lifetouch.com with yearbook ID 14063020
Obviously we are unable to take our planned 3rd Quarter Lynx Tracks field trips. We are depositing the previously paid fees for those toward future field trips and keeping track of student payments. If you would like to request a refund instead of using toward future field trips, please contact the school office at 907-260-1345 and we can request that for you.
Distance Learning materials can be picked up on WEDNESDAY this week. The time schedule is below. Online instruction will begin Monday. After this week, we plan to have material pick up days on Fridays or the last school day of the week. That said, as with everything lately, this is subject to change and we will keep you updated as we go.
Unfortunately, our PTO's Community Easter Egg Hunt is cancelled this year.
Tustumena Lunch Pick up: You MUST sign up each child. All children under 18 are eligible but must be signed up individually. You may sign up by calling KPBSD Student Nutrition Services at 907-714-8890 and they can answer all questions regarding this process as well.
