Torrey Hill Intermediate School

As we enter November, lets take a moment to reflect on all the things that bring us gratitude. At Torrey Hill we are grateful for our amazing students, dedicated staff, supportive families and committed community. This month at Torrey Hill we will celebrate being thankful for our Veterans! We will also celebrate National Kindness Week during the week of November 11th-17th.

Warmly,

On November 11th we will honor our Veterans. During this month we will be honoring Veterans in many ways. One way that we would love to honor Veterans is through our Wall of Honor. Please send a picture of any family member that is a Veteran so we can add it to our Wall of Honor.

Please help us fill our Wall of Honor! Please bring a picture of your Veteran labeled on the backside along with students name.

With the varying temperatures, please be sure your child is dressing in layers. Our outside recess matrix is below:

We will be using Car Tags again this year for our pick up lane students. Many of you are familiar with these tags if you participated in the West Shore process in the past. You will only need ONE tag per building if participating in both lanes. To obtain your tag please stop in the office. If you still have a sign from last year or West Shore they are the same, please use it this year.

If your students need updates from you (parents/guardians) on taking a different mode of transportation home, please call our office before 2 PM. We do our best to get all "change in transportation" messages delivered to the students at the end of the school day and we certainly do not want any errors.

Any bus changes must be approved by the principal at least 24 hours in advance. Students are not allowed to take alternative buses home unless their is an emergency situation. Please do not use bus transportation as a means of transporting friends for after school social or extracurricular events. Our buses have capacity limits and we cannot add students to bus routes. We care about the safety of our students and therefore must closely monitor ridership on our school buses.

We realize the morning and afternoon can be busy times in our parking lots at West Shore and Torrey Hill. Please help with traffic concerns by avoiding crossing over the incoming lane (AM) and outgoing lane (PM) at West Shore (Lahring entrance).

Also, if you enter Torrey Hill from Torrey Rd., please remember you can only turn right at the flagpole. Some are turning left where the sign, "No Left Turn", is located. Thank you for your support.
