Friday, September 22 - Parent Directory Released
We are excited to share all the parent’s names and email addresses that opted into our Parent Handbook. This was an idea brought by our Parent Advisory Committee, PTA Board, and students in order for families to have access to scheduling play dates and birthday parties with classmates.
Saturday, September 23 - Gator Gardens Clean Up (8-10AM)
It’s time to get our Gator Gardens ready for a fall harvest. Please help us from 8 - 10 AM by pulling weeds, tilling the garden beds, and planting flowers! Let’s get this area looking beautiful for our students as our goal is for them to eat outside during these beautiful fall days.
Dance Team - Wednesday Morning Club
Keep practicing our new dance routine that we will perform at Tatonka Unity Day on October 27.Hallway Music - Click HERE
We added more slots to sign up to play music in the mornings!
Parent Square Connection
We only had 45% of our parents like or comment on our teacher’s Thursday communication on Thursday, September 14. If you have not completed this request action step, please do so this evening so our teachers have a clear understanding as to who is receiving their weekly messages.
Spirit Wear Distribution
Our fundraising spirit wear did not arrive on Friday. We are hopeful that it will arrive early this week to the school and distributed to our gators.
