Tiger Family Newsletter
Week of February 5 - February 9
Hello Tiger Families!
and happy February!
Friday our school opened its doors to visitors from our district, around the state and in face, from around the world! They came to see the amazing things happening at Timberline as we shine our light as a Leader in Me Lighthouse school. One of the unique things that sets Timberline apart is that the adults do not the visitors on tours, our student Tigers do! They discuss our Data Boards, answer questions about our school and demonstrate the ways we lead and learn at Timberline. Check out our Timberline Facebook page here and follow us on Twitter here to see pictures from the Symposium but also to see the incredible things going on at our school every day!
Families, please continue to take care of yourselves as we experience high numbers of flu illness. Encourage frequent hand washing, coughing into elbows and sanitizing surfaces. Monitor fevers as these can rise suddenly and with serious effects. We are here if you have any questions! Please remember your child must be fever free without medication for 24 hours before they can return to school. This flu is highly contagious and we want to work together as a community to keep all of our Tigers safe and healthy.
Proud to be your principal,
Ms. Ingram
Leader in Me Symposium Visit!

Parent Technology Academy is a free monthly series by GCISD Technology developed to help educate our community about our ever-changing digital world!

Discussions about the online safe use of technology in this ever-changing digital world our students are growing up in.
In addition, guest speakers from Cisco will be on hand to show you how to set up FREE home Internet filtering (OpenDNS) tools to help protect all your home devices from inappropriate and or malicious content.

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 and kimberly.becerra@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.
