Parents,

Once school gets further into session, you can expect one weekly email from me with an occasional in between eBlast. My apologies if any of these come as an inconvenience, but we want our community well informed.

Walking Students to Class, Aug. 28th
Starting Tomorrow, Thursday, August 28th- If parents want to walk their children to class, you will need to sign in and receive a RAPTOR Badge from the front office. We encourage you to allow your children to be leaders and walk themselves to class. We have so many just waiting to be their own leader and to lead others! It is great to see them helping each other in the hallways. We will also have staff throughout the building helping our students. If you are car riders, we have patrols willing to walk our little ones or new students into the building and help them find their classrooms as well. Thank you for helping us build leaders and reach our leadership goal!

National College Colors Day, Aug. 29th
Friday, August 29th- National College Colors Day: Have your students show off your college colors as parents or show their favorite colors to inspire them to lead by example! We look forward to a hallway full of color!

Bike Racks
All of our bike racks are located by the basketball courts. Although this is an ideal location for some, it is not for all. We will be checking into having some placed closer to the gyms and/or close to the front entrance.

Leadership Pep Rally/PTA General Meeting, Sept. 2nd
We are excited to embark on another year of leadership with a new goal and the anticipation of reaching lighthouse status for our school. Tuesday, Sept. 2nd, we will have a school wide/community pep rally for our students. You will be entertained by the Reagan and Johnson Cheerleaders as well as some of our staff members. It should be quite the show! We will kick off the pep rally about 5:30 with dinner. We will sell pizza ($1.00 a slice) and bottles of water for $1.00. Please join us for dinner, entertainment, and our PTA General Meeting. This is a great time for our students, parents, and staff to come together as a family and promote leadership.

Grandparents Day Celebration, Sept. 5th
We look forward to welcoming all grandparents! Please make sure that we know if your parents (grandparents) are attending. If they have been here, we can pre-print a RAPTOR Badge and save time in the office line. This is a time for many visitors; therefore, we want to be extremely careful with security in case someone else tried to access the building. If grandparents are from out of town, we will need to RAPTOR them before entering the school. I suggest coming early just to avoid any delays.
  • 8:00-9:00 a.m. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades
  • 9:05-10:05a.m. Kinder, 1st, and 5th grades
We hope you will all join us!

Spirit, Spirit, Spirit, Spirit, Spirit
LAST CHANCE for Fall Spirit Items! 

Our Spirit Committee will be selling Spirit Items in the rotunda Thursday and Friday from 7:15 to 8:15 a.m. and also at our PTA General Meeting Tuesday, Sept 2, beginning at 5:30 p.m.  

Go online now to www.tuscanyheightspta.org to order your fall spirit items and get ready for our first SPIRIT DAY, Friday, Sept 5.  In-stock items will be delivered to your child's classroom. We have already sold out of several sizes and are placing one more order for these popular items.  They will only be available for a LIMITED time as preorders.  Please place your order soon so you don't miss out! The very popular headbands and hair bows are now available online as well! 

On the website you can also:

Parents,

We have Grandparents Day coming up on Friday, Sept. 5th (Next Friday)! Please let your child's teacher know if your child's grandparents will be attending. This is a very special day that we love to honor, and the more we know in advance, the more we can plan for parking, badges, maps, etc.

Your child's teacher will submit a list to us prior to that day so that we can pre-print RAPTOR badges and save grandparents from waiting in line. The only way we can pre-print grandparent badges will be if they have accessed our RAPTOR system before. If you have grandparents that have never had their IDs scanned at Tuscany Heights Ele, they have time to do so before next Friday. If they are out of state, we understand and will be as efficient as possible getting them access to the building. Help us by getting that information ASAP to the school.

Also, PTA will be ordering more spirit items, but for now through Thursday go online and get your spirit items ordered. PTA will deliver these items directly to your child's classroom.

This Friday, August 29th is National College Colors Day! Encourage your students to wear their college colors to show off their personal goals, COLLEGE BOUND, and/or to show off their support of their parents' college choice. We want to feel the hallways with lots of color!!!

It has been a great week so far!

Thank you,

Tara Bailey

Parents and Students,

Welcome Back to School! We are so excited to greet each one tomorrow for the first day! We hope that you have all enjoyed time off and relaxation, but we are thrilled to embark on the 2014-15 school year!

In knowing that that the first day brings so much emotion for all, please know that teachers will be throughout the hallway to help students transitioning into a new school or new grade level. We are here to help! For our new Kinder friends, administrators and counselors are here to help calm them and make their first day at T.H.E. fabulous. We will also be in the cafeteria to help them open cartons, bags, etc during their lunch time. We are prepared to make this day successful for all!

Parents help us by ensuring that your child’s teacher knows how your child will be traveling home for the first week of school as well as the weeks to follow. We encourage consistency in the way you choose for your child to go home in the afternoons; however, I know that many of you may have changes. We ask that you inform your child’s teacher each day those changes will occur prior to 2:00pm. *All Kindergarten walkers must have someone at the crosswalk with them or an older sibling before being released to walk home. Please don’t assume they know! Thank you for reaching out to the teachers to make this process smooth and safe for all!

As we are encouraging all students to show leadership, we ask that you let them walk to class on their own. We do understand the first three days of school families may want to walk their children to their classroom. We understand! You will be given VISITOR Stickers to access our hallways. Starting Thursday, please allow them to do it on their own. For Kinder students, we will have staff and safety patrol out front to meet you at your car or at the front door. We will ensure that our students make it to their classroom. Should you wish to walk to class after the first three days, you will need to check in with the office to get a RAPTOR Badge. There will be no exceptions starting Thursday. Thank you for understanding!

Let’s have a great first week!

Thank you for trusting us with your sweet children!

Tara Bailey

If you have not received one, please call the office Tuesday, August 19th so that we can help direct you to the correct classroom for Meet the Teacher.

If there are specific things that you would like to share with your child’s teacher, please email or set up a time to meet with them. Please respect that the Meet the Teacher Night is reserved to meet and greet all parents and students as well as share a glimpse of expectations for this school year. Individual conferences will not be held but should you wish to meet with the teacher privately, please let them know and they will schedule a time in the next few weeks.

Student Placement Email-Video Messages- Monday August 18th

8/13/2014

0 Comments

 

Parents,

I recently stated that we would notify parents about student placement (teachers) Friday, August 15th. Unfortunately, the teachers are not back on contract that day and I have many staff members that will be out of town. In an effort not to create a negative perspective of a teacher that couldn't call on Friday due to various reasons, we are going to be ocnsistent and SYNERGIZE Monday, August 18th with our video messaging.

This will be there first return date; therefore, they will be in training the first part of the morning and then given time to send parent-student messages. I ask for your patience as you should receive information before Tuesday regarding teachers for your student (s). If you have not received a message via email, please contact our office the morning of Tuesday, August 19th.

My apologies for the change and any inconvenience it may cause your family.

Please share this with friends and family. We will also put it on the marquee!

 

Thank you,

Tara Bailey

Parents & Students,

I am sending a similar note to reiterate the upcoming events and happenings at Tuscany Heights, our excitement, preparation, planning, teacher placement videos, Meet the Teacher, etc.

We are excited to welcome you all to August 2014. We hope that you have enjoyed your summer and take time to enjoy the last few weeks before we dive back into working hard on education.

We have missed the laughter and inquiring minds of our students, but we have all enjoyed our families as well.

A few things...

All class rosters are in the process of being created. Our teachers are preparing a video to send out via email to all parents and students once the lists are final, August 15th. Please be prepared to receive your child's information via email on this particular day. Now, it is possible with everyone sending emails that you may get one in the morning or in the afternoon. If you do not receive this information, please know that we can help you in the office on Monday, August 18th. We are giving the teachers time to share their individualized videos with their families. This gives you and your child an opportunity to see your teacher before you arrive. I know the students are just as excited as our teachers!

Our teachers are also anxiously preparing their classrooms for Meet the Teacher/Orientation Night. Yes, they are already starting. Official return time for staff will be August 18th. This is a week packed full of training and room preparation!

We have missed the laughter and inquiring minds of our students, but we have all enjoyed our families as well.

A few things...

Wednesday, August 6th: SCHOOL IS CLOSED. NO REGISTRATION HERE. We will experience a power outage this day that will potentially last 5-6 hours. CPS needs to cut the power so that district employees can replace our chiller breakers. We will resume regular schedule Thursday. Our office will be at Canyon Ridge working; however, it may be difficult to register off campus. Please share with friends and neighbors that you know may be hoping to register.

All class rosters are in the process of being created. Our teachers are preparing a video to send out via email to all parents and students once the lists are final, August 15th.
