Tildenville Elementary School Community Brief Thursday, March 14, 2024 | |
|
Dear Mark,
Tiger families, we have had a very busy March and are at the finish line for 2023-2024 quarter 3. Friday, March 15th is a non-student day and marks the start of spring break. When we return from spring break, we will be in our final nine weeks. The 4th nine-week quarter will be also be a busy time for our students and teachers that will include performances, awards celebrations, and academic performance assessments and many more exciting events with great support from our PTA (please see our PTA's message below). This is one of my favorite times of the year as a school principal.
| |
Campus safety is a daily top priority and we are so appreciative to have Orange County Sheriff's Deputy Threat serving on our campus. Popular with the students, Deputy Threat is present to help maintain a safe and secure learning environment for our young Tigers and the staff. | |
Congratulations to all of the new members who were inducted into the Spanish Elementary Honor Society! We are so proud of you! | |

Just below you will find some information on our 2024 Family Survey. We depend on feedback from the annual survey for our school improvement planning. If you have a student at Tildenville this year, kindly take a few moments to share your views. While we do not see any of the individual family responses, we do see the combined results and that is what we discuss regarding school improvement. Thank you for your help.
Wishing you a restful and peaceful Spring Break!
Agathe Alvarez
Proud Principal

We are seeking the Community's help with our Reading Challenge.
Please see our 'Donors Choose' page. Thank you.
| |
Students in grades K-5 are able to read books and take Accelerated Reader (AR) quizzes to earn points. Students have to earn at least 5 AR points to make it up on the board (pictured below) and then they start to level up from there by reading books and taking quizzes. | |

STEM with Mrs. Khan
Mrs. Khan's gifted class did an awesome job designing and building car ramps. They also enjoyed a few lessons on coding using their devices and Legos.
| |
The students first designed and constructed their model ramps before running cars along them and then recording performance data after the trial runs. | |
Just above and below: Digital Lego and coding lessons | |

Health Lesson with Mrs. Londono-Scott
Mrs. Stella's 4th graders enjoyed their health lesson with Mrs. Londono-Scott on cardio drumming this month. They learned they can do this to lower stress and get some energy and emotions out in a positive way.

Thank you to everyone who has purchased a school yearbook! You can still purchase a yearbook online! Yearbooks will be sold until March 15th for $20.00. Once the deadline passes you will be unable to purchase a yearbook for this school year. We do not sell yearbooks on campus. Parents who purchased a 5th grade ad, please make sure you also purchased a yearbook. They are two separate purchases. If you need me to check please email me at 31313@ocps.net and I can confirm for you. Thank you for your support! | |
