Tuscany Heights Elementary School
September 29, 2013
Parents,
Thank you for your generous donations with greenbacks! We have collected $7,500 so far this year! PJ Day was a hit!!!
We are experiencing some difficulty at the traffic light in the afternoons during dismissal. For the families making a left turn into the school dismissal lane, we are realizing that one or two cars turn on the green light. This creates a longer wait for these families in comparison to those turning right into the school lane. We have found that the camera that detects traffic and assists with the light color changes is broken. We are working on getting this corrected as soon as possible. In the meantime, families please be considerate of those waiting longer periods of time and allow them to turn if possible. I do appreciate you all looking out for each other to make it a smooth dismissal!
On a bus note, please remind students to wait until buses (or any vehicle) has come to a complete stop before approaching. We had a situation this week that scared us with a student walking out in front of a bus before it stopped. No one was hurt, but it certainly needs to be sent as a reminder. Please wait until all vehicles make a complete stop. Thank you for talking to your students.
As always, we appreciate the team effort of our staff, students, and parents! Thank you for always going the extra mile to make this a great school!
Thank you,
Tara Bailey

Sign up to be a Hero of the Hallway! Dads, uncles, granddads, step-dads—Tuscany Heights needs you to continue making an impact this school year! Last December, a Tuscany Heights Watch DOG stated: “I did not realize what an impact fathers could have on the school grounds. The look on my daughter's face and her discussion when she came home from school was a true blessing. I hope more fathers sign up because the kids really appreciate us being there.”
Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) is an innovative program that enables fathers and father-figures to be a positive male role model and to provide an extra set of eyes and ears at Tuscany Heights Elementary School.
