Tildenville Community Member,
On Monday we officially began the second nine-week quarter of 2021-2022. We got off to a fine start and we will be releasing report cards next week. Please review your child's progress with them right away as education is cumulative process and we want to make sure that each student is on track for a successful academic year.
At the start of this second quarter I ask a favor once again. As you review some of our latest Tiger happenings below, please take a moment to carefully read the PTA news. As a school we rely heavily on the PTA and they in turn rely on our community. If you are not yet a PTA member please consider joining today and if you have the time, participating in some of their wonderful activities. Everything they work on is for the benefit of the kids, so I thank you in advance for any support you might give.

The Kindness Wall was a big hit with the students. We love how our Tigers have such big hearts and are full of kindness!
Thank you for looking over this latest edition and please remember our Fall Book Fair starts Monday and runs all week (please see below).
Have a terrific weekend as some beautiful fall weather is expected!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Alvarez
Principal

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)
Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"

Special Recognition: Math Facts |
|
Tigers in 2nd through 5th grade are actively learning their math facts – addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They are practicing with flash cards, mad minutes, and Reflex Math. Each week, teachers announce a class winner and these winners face off in the cafeteria to find a grade level winner. These are our weekly math facts challenge champions. |

Mrs. Baker's PreK class needs a little community help. Thank you! |

Our teachers have been writing quite a few Donors Choose grants this year and receiving full funding! Thank you everyone for helping out our Tigers! Mrs. Baker, our wonderful PreK teacher also has a project posted. Thank you for anything you might do!
