Tiger Talk

11/26/24

Dear Tiger Families,

As we approach this season of Thanksgiving, I am reminded of how fortunate we are to be part of such a wonderful and supportive community. Our school thrives because of the generosity, dedication, and time you give to help create an environment where our students can learn, grow, and flourish.

Many of you volunteer your time, offer your services, and make generous donations that directly impact the educational experience of our students. Your contributions—large and small—make a meaningful difference, and we are deeply grateful for each of you.

At this time of year, I am especially mindful of all the blessings we have in our school community. Thank you for your unwavering support in making our school such a positive and productive place for our children to learn and thrive.

On behalf of our entire staff, I wish you and your loved ones a joyful, peaceful, and safe Thanksgiving holiday.

With gratitude,

Amy Russ, Principal

We are excited to announce a partnership with the Austin Spurs to enhance our student attendance.

Any student who has no more than two absences during the first nine weeks of school received a complimentary ticket to an Austin Spurs basketball game of his/her choice.

Every day that students attend school is vital and contributes significantly to their success. If your child has earned a free ticket, it was sent home last week. Please check backpacks for a QR code that provides instructions on how to redeem the ticket. If you have multiple children who received free tickets, please contact Rebecca Shaffer at rshaffer@spurs.com for guidance on redeeming more than one ticket.

This super incentive will continue for the second 9 weeks, so keep up the great work!
