Scottsville's Tuesday Tiger Times
March 3, 2026
March is Women’s History Month, Developmental Disabilities Month, Music in Our Schools Month, National Athletic Training Month, National Reading Month, VSBA Students and Schools in Challenging Environments Month, and Youth Art Month! We will have different updates for you each week!.
The bracket-style excitement of the court is hitting our classrooms this month! We are thrilled to announce Multiplication March Madness, a high-energy competition designed to sharpen multiplication fluency through "Multiplication War" showdowns during the final five minutes of lunch for grades three, four, and five.
Ms. Emery, our Talent Development Teacher, has lined the hallways with facts.
We encourage you to practice math facts at home!
As the weather warms and everyone is excited to be outside again, we wanted to share some tips for staying healthy.
- Wash your hands for at least 30 seconds with soap and water.
- Cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough.
- Drink lots of water.
- Get a full nights rest.
- If your student is feeling ill, please remind them to see the school nurse.
Every parent, guardian, and staff member at Scottsville Elementary is automatically part of the PTO, no sign-ups, dues, or meeting attendance required. The PTO only works when our school community works together, and right now we truly need more helping hands. Even volunteering once or helping in a small way makes a big difference for our students and staff.
Here are a few upcoming opportunities where you can jump in and help support our school:
📚 Book Fair Volunteers (March 10–13)
Help students preview and shop the fair, plus Family Night on Thursday

🏃 Tiger Trot Helpers (March 14)

⛸️ Skate Night at Yancey
The PTO would love to help make another Skate Night happen since the kids had so much fun last time! We’re looking for a parent or guardian to take the lead on planning and organizing the evening (potential date Friday April 24th), including coordinating with Yancey, arranging snacks or dinner options, and managing volunteers for set-up and clean-up. If you’re willing to step in, the PTO is happy to sponsor the event.
