Tildenville Community Member,
I am delighted to share that we have gotten the 2021-2022 school year off to a very successful start. When we look back at where we were at the start of week #3 during 2020-2021, our year-over-year progress is incredible. Thank you to everyone for your patience and support so far this year. It is always so exciting to be part of this community of great students, parents, and teachers at Tildenville Elementary School!
|
|
We would like to welcome all our new Tigers to Tildenville! We are going to have a great year. Welcome to the Tildenville family! |
|
Early in this new year I want to remind our parents and community members of how essential they are as part of the education process. In this edition we have included several ways for both groups to get involved. That is, the sharing of your "time, talent, or treasure." Please keep in mind that whatever you might choose to do this year is so much appreciated.
Two important reminders for this week: 1) please consider getting your PTA membership (it is only $5.00 for the year); and 2) remember to complete the Parent Technology Media Information Consent Form required of all students in the school system if you have not already done so as this is due within the first ten (10) days of school.
Thank you for sharing your children with us this year. They are the reason that we are here and we are honored to be entrusted with this critical component of their lives. Have a great week and thank you for looking this back to school edition over closely for anything relevant to your child, household, or business.
In Tiger Pride,
Ms. Alvarez
Proud Principal
Tildenville Elementary

Class Dojo is up and running! We have been sending out school-wide messages and teachers are using it with their own classrooms as well. If you are not seeing the Tildenville Elementary School messages as shown in the photo below, please email Mr. Dolfi at bryan.dolfi@ocps.net so you can be added. If you are unable to see your child’s classroom on Dojo you will need to notify the teacher so they can add you. |

My name is Bryan Dolfi and I am the Testing Coordinator.
While I know you are waiting for them, FSA scores will be available to parents once we get the official score reports. I will update parents as soon as those come in so that you will be able to see how your child did on the assessments.
As the year begins, all students in grades K-5 will be taking the iReady Diagnostic in both reading and math. This assessment is used to guide the specific needs of the students. The window for this assessment is August 16-September 3. A more specific schedule will come out closer to the time of testing. Kindergarten will also participate in the FLKRS Kindergarten readiness assessment. This is to be completed in the first 30 days of school, and they will take it once they have completed the iReady Diagnostics.
I am looking forward to working with both the students, as well as their families. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns, bryan.dolfi@ocps.net.
Thank you for your time,
Bryan Dolfi

Your PTA has been very busy these first few weeks of school! Here are a few highlights:
- We welcomed back the teachers and staff on 8/2 with breakfast from Panera, Trader Joes and ALDI. A beautiful floral bouquet was raffled off to teachers and staff courtesy of Betty J's Florist.
- We provided the teachers and staff with a wonderful Italian meal courtesy of Cariera's Fresh Italian on Meet the Teacher Night.
- We saw many of your wonderful faces at the PTA table during Meet the Teacher! If you didn't get a chance to join PTA, see the link below about joining!
- We hosted a Popsicle playdate at Tucker Ranch for students and their families on the Saturday before the first day of school.
- We saw many of you at the "Boohoo-Woohoo Breakfast" on the first day of school. Breakfast was sponsored by Hillcrest Insurance Agency.
