Tiger Family Newsletter April '23
All the important deets to stay in the know!
May It Be of Benefit
Dear Families,
Here comes April! In these monthly newsletters, I normally have a themed message in this column, but this month, I have a few unrelated things to share with you, so I hope you'll bear with me.
First, thank you to those who took the time to complete our parent survey. We use the results of the survey to guide our school-wide improvement plans and action steps for the following school year.
Also, this is the month where parents can request a teacher for their child for next year. During the week of April 18-21, you must come to the office to request a form and complete it. Requests are not guaranteed, but we do our best to honor them if at all possible. Please be aware that there will be staff changes that are unknown at this time. I will make those announcements when the information is known.
Finally, I want to wish you all a Happy Easter, Spring, and all that your family celebrates this month. We are so glad to be partnering with you. We recognize what a privilege it is to work with children to help them become all that they can. It is important work, and we appreciate all that you do to support our school.
Gratefully,
Mrs. Gold
Level Up! Reading Incentive Celebration
Thanks to everyone who supported a reading push during our month-long reading incentive. Our students read more this month than we could have imagined. We ended with a reward movie today and popcorn and juice was enjoyed along with a little game-themed movie. Congratulations to those who won books and games too!
Talent Show
It's time for our annual Talent Show. Please come at 6PM on Thursday, April 6th to see our students shine!
Lunch Intramurals
Thanks to Mr. K for his dedication to our lunchtime intramural sports. Now that we have some sunny days on the horizon, we will get back to it with girls' 4th and 5th graders playing this week at lunch.
Keep Coming!
Remember that each month that your child does not miss a school day they receive an attendance incentive ticket which goes into a drawing for one of 4 scooters that will be given away on the last day of school.
We understand that children do get sick and we want them to stay home if they have vomited, have a fever, or have other serious/contagious illnesses. So as not to penalize students who get sick, every month is a new opportunity to receive a ticket (versus only raffling the scooters to those with perfect attendance).
23/24 ACE Program Registration
Open registration is currently active. Please go to your parent portal in powerschool to sign up online. Both ACE and Scholarship applications must be complete for your student to be considered. You will be contacted by phone if your child has a spot in the program. Payment will be requested at that time.
Please call 224-4223 if you have any questions.
