A few words from the principal…..

This month we are celebrating reading. We have kicked the month off by inviting all the parents to come read with their students and create fun arts and crafts. Thank you to all of those that came this week.

The month of March, grades will be competing against each other to see who can read the most books. 3^rd and 4^th grade students have access to an app called EPIC. This app will allow them to read a book each night. K-2 students will be able to read books, on their level, on the Reading World app. Even though I do enjoy going to the library, I love the fact that I can go online and read any book I want from the public library. Plus, this way I won’t turn the book in late. Spring Break is the perfect time to read the day away!

I am blessed to work with a caring staff that is always there for their students. Each month we get to celebrate one staff member’s achievements. That is just way too hard. For the month of January Ms. Cook and for February, Mrs. Nejvara.

From the Desk of Mrs. Szych

Hello TPA Families!!

December is a short month, but there is a lot going on. At the Middle School we have a door decorating contest, spirit week, I-Ready testing, holiday parties, spelling bees, and more! We are also very busy planning for some exciting changes coming during second semester.

We’ve had a couple of staff adjustments over the last few weeks, and Ms. Kinnie is now teaching 7th and 8th grade Math. Remember…you can check your students’ grades anytime in PowerSchool. All students brought home instructions, but please let us know if you need help accessing grade.

I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday season!

From the Desk of Mrs. Garcia

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Glitter, Little Debbie Christmas snacks, and jingle bells rocking around the Christmas tree.

The Lil Shoppe opened today for the students to shop. Gifts from $.50 to $10.00. I had fun shopping with the students today. You will be happy to know they tell me exactly what you like. Well sometimes they say you like slime and I redirect them.

Staff will take students shopping before school. A parent night is Thursday, December 8 from 3:45-5:30.

We are having a canned food drive and home essentials for different groups. Please send in any donations by Wednesday, December 14th . We are having a contest between the classes.

Please come enjoy the sounds of the holidays, Friday, December 16th starting at 9:30. Students can leave with their parents after the concert. A permission slip is being sent home next week for parents to sign if they are going to go home with you. I am trying to stop the long line we experienced at the awards ceremony.

K-2 please make sure you are using the Tinyivy app to have your students read nightly. They have access to an endless range of books, for free. No trip to the library or the chance of books being eaten by the dog. In my house the
cats eat the books.

Personally, I would like to thank all the parents for your patience with bussing and dismissal. I am talking with Rock Solid to make sure that they can plow the alley so you won’t get stuck in the snow during the winter.

I want to wish everyone Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.
