Parents,

SIGN UP, SIGN UP, SIGN UP…

In an effort to be more efficient and get information out to you as quickly as possible including simple reminders, I would like to invite you to be part of my Remind 101 Parent Team.  This is an “app” that allows me to send a quick message out to all subscribers.  For example: Winter Parties; No School Dec. 23rd- Jan. 5th, etc.  Just examples that I find myself wanting to share in the afternoons as a reminder from the weekly eBlast.  If you are interested in receiving this message, you can subscribe using the link below. It can be set up to come as a text, an email, or both.  I look forward to strengthening our communication!

**This year I'm using Remind101, a safe app that allows me to send text and email updates about important school information.  To sign up to get messages about Tuscany Heights Ele Parents, click here.

A GLOW for our Choir Students and Mrs. Neibel and Mrs. Rivera:

I received this email from a man that was staying/meeting a group of colleagues at the JW Marriott Thursday night while our choir, Tiger Beat, performed. It is so nice to know that others that come in contact with our staff and students are inspired, because of the wonderful attributes they possess.

“Dear Ms. Neibel,

My colleague and I are attending the Zero to Three National Training Institute at the JW Marriott in San Antonio. We happened to be meeting with another colleague in the lobby area yesterday evening when your family members from your choir began arriving for the show. Because we were seated nearby we decided to stay to enjoy the performance. I must say we were so impressed with your students! What a delightful show. The students are quite obviously motivated to perform well and more importantly seemed to be having fun. That is only possible under your ability to engage and excite them about music. Your energy and enthusiasm along with high expectations reminded me of my own high school music experience with a director/teacher who had the same love of music and taught us the value and delight of a group performance. What I learned from that experience continues to inform my work today. What you have achieved with your students is quite special and will be a lifelong, invaluable gift to them.

Thank you for sharing your passion yesterday. And please tell your students how much the travelers from Indiana enjoyed their performance. It totally inspired me during this holiday season.

Wishing you all the best!

Steve”

Thank you, 
Tara Bailey
