Principal Alvarez
Our 2019 Parent Survey is now open. If you have a student at Tildenville, we ask that you kindly take a few minutes to complete this year's survey. All responses to the survey are completely anonymous.

Our goal is to ensure that at least 20% of our Tildenville parents complete the survey as it helps us directly with our 2019 school improvement planning. The survey link will be available through Friday, March 15, 2019. Thank you very much for your help.

Take the survey

Enjoy the rest of your week and thank you for your continued support!

In Tiger Pride,

Agathe Alvarez 
Proud Principal
Tildenville Elementary School

In 2019, please remember Tigers . . .

Friday, March 1, 2019 
 
If you would like to participate in reading in the classroom for Read Across America, please make sure you have filled out the ADDitions application (an important part of our school safety plan across all of OCPS, but it does not take much time) and attach yourself to the opportunity. Your help is greatly appreciated. 
 
We are looking for readers to read in English and/or Spanish. Kindergarten reading times will be from 1:30 pm to 2:15 pm and 1st through 5th will be from 2:15 pm to 3:00 pm. If you would like to donate a Dr. Seuss book in English or Spanish for the event, please email [email protected] 
   
   
 
Did You Know? 
Dr. Seuss (1904-91)
Theodor Seuss Geisel - Dr. Seuss of children's book fame - is loved by many readers for his whimsy. Today, no children's author/illustrator's work is more immediately recognizable worldwide than that of Dr. Seuss. His most popular book, "Green Eggs and Ham," has sold 8 million copies since 1960.  
 
Dr. Seuss wrote and illustrated a total of 45 books. 
 
This is Dr. Seuss' #1 book and it contains just 50 words.
