Parents and Students,


Early Dismissal this week: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, all students will be released at 12:40pm so that students and teachers can host student-led conferences. If you haven’t signed up for a conference with your child’s teacher, please contact them for a date and time. This is an opportunity for your child to share their own personal growth with their goals.

Thank you for our wonderful clean-up crew that came out Sunday, Feb. 22nd to prepare our campus for the upcoming Run for the Heights Event. As always, we appreciate the pride our community takes in our school. Thank you! We hope to see you at our Run for the Heights Event.

I have attached the Alamo Toyota Nomination Form and ask that you take time to nominate our awesome teachers. They are dedicated and go above and beyond for your children. I am proud to be their principal and enjoy seeing their passion and dedication every day. Thank you for taking the time to consider submitting a THE Teacher.

Johnson High School will be hosting a cheer clinic if your family is interested, I have attached the flyer. This clinic; however, falls on the same date as our Run for the Heights. We would love for you to support our campus and the wellness opportunities attached.


Below is a message from Stone Oak Elementary regarding Dual Language:

Nurse Notes

Continue to practice good hygiene techniques and hand washing.  The Flu, as well as other illness, is still hanging around.  Protecting yourself is the same for exposures.  Remember “COUGH OR SNEEZE, ELBOW PLEASE”.

 

March 6th, we will sponsor Dr. Mari-Ellen Torres of Kids World Dentistry.  She will do a visual screening of 3rd grade students and you will receive the results of her screen from our clinic.  Remind our students to practice good dental hygiene and lets all:

“Brush two minutes, two times a day.

Clean between your teeth daily.

Limit snacks, eat healthy snacks.

Visit your dentist regularly.”

The first place teacher will receive a field trip for his or her class and $1,000 for the teacher.  The more creative one gets or the more we hear about a teacher from students and parents, to even nominations from Principals, the more of an impact it makes for a teacher to stand out.  Kidsville News will be recognizing an additional 5 teachers who will receive a plaque, recognition in Kidsville News and some wonderful gifts.  This is the third year of this great teacher recognition program.  The deadline is March 31.

Cafeteria Student Codes

2/17/2015

0 Comments

 
Clarification-

Parents,

Students will only be asked to enter their student codes at breakfast and IF they go back for a second item during lunch. It will not be required for lunch time for single trays (again, only if students go back to get something extra). I just realized this today and wanted to communicate ASAP.

The codes are the student ID numbers, and many students already know this code in order to access Istation and/or other computer programs. They use it to log on to the computer.

Thank you for helping support our students through this change!

Parents and Students,

Don’t forget no school on Monday, Feb. 16th. This will be a professional development and work day for NEISD Staff. We will be using our time to review student data and plan for upcoming instruction!

Please look closely to the calendar, because we have added benchmark testing dates in red. WE will keep the campus closed until about 10:40a.m.,when the first lunches start. If we have WatchDOGS signed up to volunteer, they will be allowed to work in other grade levels until after testing. We do not “close” the campus in an attempt to cause inconvenience, but in order to give our students a quiet environment in which to test.

This coming week, our students will be using a keypad when they come through the cafeteria line. They will be required to enter their lunch codes. This will slow our lines down somewhat and we appreciate your patience. Ask your child if they know their lunch code. If they do not have it memorized, now would be a great time to start practicing. THE Cafeteria Ladies plan to work alongside of our students until this is an efficient and effective process. In keeping the cafeteria update, I would like to share that we have started talking more about recycling and our recyclable bags went from 2-3 bags a day to 14-16 bags a day. Thank you to our students for being conscious about the world in which we live. I am very proud of them!

On a safety note, thank you for working hard to keep our students and staff safe. A few reminders:

  • Cross with your children at the cross walk when dropping off to ensure they are safely across traffic; Our crossing guards have their eyes on moving vehicles.

  • Handicap spaces are reserved for handicapped visitors, students, or staff; If you have a handicap tag, please ensure it is visible. When a visitor or a child that is handicapped doesn’t have a close space to park, it can be difficult for them and their families. I appreciate your understanding.

  • Campuses are Tobacco and Weapon Free- Smoking on campus is not acceptable. There is a sign upon entering all NEISD Schools. Thank you for using safe practices while around our children!                                                                                                                                                                                                              

Thank you,
Tara Bailey

V'Day Follow Up

2/11/2015

0 Comments

 
Parents, Students, and Staff,

I am sending a message to follow up on my earlier message regarding Valentine's Day and to clarify my morning announcement communication. I feel certain that we have confusion. Since Valentine's Day has not been selected as a party day for us this year, we are not allowed to have food for our students to eat in celebration.

If you have purchased cards that have candy attached, please know that these cards will be sent home along with all other Valentines exchanged this Friday. In the future as we are planning for Valentine's Day, we can certainly look for items that are non-food related. However, I do not wish to disappoint any students nor make this a disruption to our learning environment. We will follow NEISD policy and not partake of any a food celebration.

My apologies for the miscommunication as well as the confusion I caused for my staff.

Thank you,
Tara Bailey

Valentine's Reminder & Rodeo Dress- Friday, Feb. 13th

2/11/2015

0 Comments

 
Dear Parents, 

As Valentine's Day draws near, we would like to send out a few important reminders. In accordance with district policy, we are only allowed to have two party days per year. Tuscany Heights' party days for this year were decided at the beginning of the year, Winter Holiday Party and an End of the Year Party. By policy, we cannot allow students and/or parents to bring in treats, such as cookies, candy, cake, etc. for Valentine's day since it was not previously selected as one of our party days.  Please know that the office will not be able to deliver balloons or flowers to classrooms. This Friday will be a normal instructional day with time for students to exchange Valentine Cards with their classmates. Thank you for your support. 

We are also recognizing Rodeo Day across the district. Please join us in dressing Western on Friday, Feb. 13th.

Thank you,
Tara Bailey

Scroll down for a message from Vineyard Ranch Elementary regarding enrollment of Dual Language Students. (Below, next to upcoming events.)

Thank you for helping us secure student safety here at Tuscany Heights Elementary! We have a few recent concerns at the front traffic light and want to bring to your attention that Bexar County has reached out to a consulting company to investigate the intersection for support. We may start seeing new signs and possibly a new traffic light. In the meantime, please avoid using the Tuscany Heights Neighborhood Sign as a U-turn area. Also, our crossing guards are trained by North East Police Department on traffic safety. Please be aware of their signs, lights, and whistles even if the light changes. They are following the safety protocols taught in their workshops. We are doing everything we can to enforce SAFETY at THE. We appreciate your support as well!


Thank you,

Tara Bailey

Run For The Heights is just 4 weeks away!  Race Registration contests flyers and forms have gone home (see links). Our student and class contests end Feb 6th! Keep bringing in those registrations!! Online registrations can be designated for your class as well. Student incentives include a spirit stick, extra tech time in class & a special lunch in the library. Class rewards include extra recess, the Tusky 50 Yard Dash, & a bounce house during PE. The top 2 classes bringing in the most registrations will earn a brick building party from Bricks 4 Kidz!! 

Would you like to see our principals run the Fun Run dressed as a Super Hero? Would you like to get prepared for the 5K? You can do both by completing the 28-day Activity Challenge. If we have at least 350 T.H.E. students complete the daily activity log AND register for the Fun Run for 5K, then our principals will run the Fun Run dressed as Super Heroes!!! Let's synergize and reach our goal!! Start Monday, Jan 26 in order to be finished by Feb 23. Turn in the completed forms to the front office. 

Are you not able to make it to Run For The Heights? You can still be a "Spirit Runner" for only a $10 donation. Contribute to Run For The Heights while you sleep in for Tusky!!   These 100% taxable donations will still count towards the registration contests! (No t-shirts or goody bags provided for spirit runners.)

We are looking forward to a great event! See you on Feb 28th!!

 

PTA opportunities

If you’ve been waiting to settle in to the new school year before getting involved, or maybe you’re new to our campus, wait no longer! PTA could still use your help! We’re a fun, supportive group who love making a difference on our campus, and we’re looking for volunteers to fill the following chairs:

Cafeteria – Legislative Action

We’re also looking for a volunteer to help with school pictures in the spring.  If you would like more information or have any questions about any of the volunteer opportunities please don’t hesitate to ask.  I’d be happy to visit with you.
