Happy October! I hope this letter finds you all well and enjoying some of the cooler weather and Fall. As you know we are well into the first quarter of school. Progress reports were sent home last week and Report Cards will go home on the 29th. Conferences are also quickly approaching and you will be hearing from your child’s teacher to set up a time for this. Conferences are scheduled for October 25th. This is a conference/workday for teachers and there is no school for students.
As you know, Ms. Jackson has joined us at Tillery as our Guidance Director. While she is serving in many capacities, one of her main focuses will be on working with students in the classrooms using our Voyage Curriculum. This curriculum focuses on character development and has many lessons that go along with it. The first lesson will be centered around Respect. Students will concentrate on treating others how they would like to be treated, being OK with others who are different, and ways to show respect in the classroom and at home. We are excited for all they are going to learn and experience on these adventures. A note was sent home about this in the folders today.
Here are a few reminders that I’d like to share with you as we enter the month of October. It is imperative that your children arrive at school on time each and every day. Classes start at 8:00 am and students are considered tardy at 8:10 am. If you arrive later than 8:10, you must park and walk your children into the building and sign them in. If you are utilizing the car line in the morning and afternoon, please stay in your car and we will let the children out safely. The line tends to back up quickly and we want to be efficient as parents drop off and start their day. In the afternoon, if you are not here by 3:15 pm, your child will go to Aftercare. Lunches must be ordered by 12:00 pm on Friday for the next week. Send all money to school labeled with your child’s name and what you are paying for. Thank you in advance for your cooperation with this.
Important Dates:
10/5 PTO Meeting at 8:15 am

10/21 Fall Festival at TCA 5:30 pm-7:30 pm
10/25 No School for Students, Conference Workday for Teachers
