Parents,
In the coming month, I will be out on maternity leave. I am enjoying time being back with the students and plan to be back before STAAR Assessments in April. In the meantime, please help me welcome former NEISD Principal, Mrs. Turnbo, to our campus as T.H.E.'s Principal Substitute. I will be working with her in the next few weeks preparing for leave. More info to come regarding Mrs. Turnbo and contacting her when I leave.
Don’t forget to sign up for REMIND 101!
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.
Also, in an effort to support our students and their future, we want a list of the top student college choices to use on a Covey Leadership Bulletin Board. Have your child text in ther choice using this survey...
TEXT 338521 and the university of your choice to 22333
Thank you,
Tara Bailey
