Tildenville Elementary School Community Brief

Tildenville Community Member,
Tiger families, as we are already well inside our sixth week of the 2021-22 school year, we will have progress reports published to Skyward this Thursday, September 16th. Progress reports are an excellent way to check the pulse of student academics before final report cards are issued for each 9-week period. Please review your child's results with them once progress reports become available as soon as possible. Learning is a cumulative process and we don't want any of our young Tigers to fall behind at any point from where they should be this year. |
|
Congratulations to our Teacher of the Year, CRT Mr. Dolfi, and our Support Person of the Year, Nurse Mills! |

This particular issue is one of the more important ones of the school year. Please look it over closely as we have included information on PTA, SAC, media center (library) opportunities, Orange County Library System special events, contests for students, and more. With respect to the Tildenville PTA, if you have yet to get your 2021-2022 membership, would you kindly do so today? It is only $5.00 per year and we depend heavily on our wonderful PTA as you will see herein.
Hispanic Heritage Month officially begins tomorrow and throughout the month we will have various events and activities for the students. You will also find information in this issue from the State of Florida on their annual essay and art contests for children where the winners receive 4-year college scholarships.
