Greeting Tubman Families,

Thank you for your engagement and participation in Report Card pick up last week. It was wonderful to have families join us for our student-led conferences in person and virtually. If you were not able to join us on this past Wednesday, virtually or in person, please reach out to your child’s teacher to schedule another time.

We wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving break, and hope you are able to take the time with family and friends to rejuvenate. As we move through teaching and learning during a pandemic, we continue to be motivated and inspired by our educators, families, and students. This holiday and everyday, please know that we are thankful for what you do to support our Bulldogs daily.

In partnership,

Principal Gibson & AP Moore

Please click here for the quarter 2 attestation form for COVID health protocols. We also will send a hard copy home for your signature. Thank you for your efforts to keep our school and community safe. As a reminder, students who are fully vaccinated do not need to be quarantined if asymptomatic and COVID negative. Please click here for more information on vaccination locations and access.

We anticipate students may be traveling for upcoming breaks. If traveling to an orange state please click here to review the travel policy for vaccinated and unvaccinated youth. Please communicate with your child's teacher(s) and Ms. Maldonado if your child will be quarantining due to travel to an orange state.

Our Student Council Club members have organized a food drive to give to our local community and families in need. We are encouraging Tubman students to donate an item to be placed in their classroom donation box throughout the next four weeks. We are accepting donations of canned foods, dry foods, and toiletries, which will be provided to local shelters and organizations in our community. Please send donations with your child between November 18 and December 15. Thank you for your support!
