Parents,
It was a great week! Congratulations to all of our spelling bee contestants. We are super proud of all of them. Our top three spellers are: Sweny Maredia, Kailee Meek, and Gina Yu.
Once again, help us welcome Mrs. Bobbi Turnbo to Tuscany Heights Elementary in February. She will be my principal substitute while I am out on maternity leave. I expect that this will take place some time between Feb. 12th-19th. She is excited to be here with us and we are truly appreciative that we get to have her here. She comes with much experience and expertise!
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.
Thank you,
Tara Bailey

Thinking about doing a little spring cleaning? In early March we will begin collecting books for the annual NEISD Used Book Sale. This is a district wide event that raises money for our school. The more books we donate to the sale, the more money we bring home to Tuscany Heights! So if you have old books that your family no longer needs, please hold on to them for a little longer.
