Tustumena Elementary Newsletter
August 23, 2016
What a great start!
Tustumena is off and running at full speed already. The students should have lots of stories tonight about all their new friends, new teachers, and new things they have learned.
You should save this newsletter somewhere in order refer to later. It includes information about picture day, our lunch program, and several other items that are important to know.
I will also provide links to our parent handbook. This handbook contains information about our day to day routines and communication avenues. One of the matters I want to call specific attention to is the end of day routine. You have already communicated with our child's teacher your expectation of where they should go after school. If this ever changes, whether it is for a day or an entire new schedule, please contact Mrs. Mills (260-1345) as soon as possible. We do not accept phone calls between 3pm and 3:30 because we are busy updating information to teachers, so if you need to change your child's end-of-day plans, you MUST call before 3pm.
Other routines and expectation can be found in the handbook as well. If you have any questions please feel free to give me a call or speak with your child's teacher. Your child will be coming home from the first day of school with a packet of information so please go through this packet and return any forms that are applicable.
Thank you for being part of the Tustumena Community.
Sincerely,
Doug Hayman
Principal
