Tuscany Heights Elementary School
October 14, 2013
Parents,
This week seemed to fly by! I can’t believe how close we are to the end of the first nine weeks grading period, but we’ve had a great 7 weeks of school!
Please take a moment to review the calendar below. We have benchmark assessments for STAAR grade levels this week. We will take extra precautions to prepare a quiet testing environment for our students.
Also, I want to call attention to an opportunity our high schools are offering us!
November 1st Reagan Cluster Football Game is honoring their cluster schools. They have invited us to join them by filling the stands for a game. We’d love to see you there! We are hoping to represent Reagan that night wearing our orange spirit shirt ( another THE Shirt) and rounding up Tusky to run out on the field. Please join us!
We are calling all future Rattlers or Jags to participate in various games throughout the season. Each HS has given a few tickets for games throughout the year. So, let us know if you are interested in a game. We will give away tickets until they run out! Thanks to our high school administration for such a kind treat! Go Rattlers and Jags!!!
Thank you,
Tara Bailey
