Tiger Tales

🌷 Welcome Back, Tolman Tigers! 🌷

We hope everyone had a fantastic and refreshing Spring Break filled with sunshine, laughter, and a little bit of adventure! It’s been wonderful to see our halls come back to life with the energy and smiles of our amazing students.

We have something extra fun coming up for our yearbook this year! On Monday, April 13th, we’ll be taking additional class pictures—this time with a unique twist. A small bus will be joining us as a special backdrop, and classes will have the opportunity to take pictures on and around it. Students and teachers are encouraged (but not required) to wear their school shirts to show off that Tolman pride!

As we head into testing season, we want to set all of our students up for success. A good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast each morning can make a big difference in helping students feel focused, confident, and ready to do their best. Thank you for your continued support at home—it truly makes a difference in helping our students thrive. Please see the testing schedule attached so you know when your student will be testing.

We are so grateful for our incredible Tolman families. Let’s make this a strong and successful spring together!

Thanks,

Cameron Forbush

Principal

April is the month of the military child. We are so grateful for those who serve in our military and the sacrifice their families make for our country. Every Friday this month we will be wearing purple to honor these children and families. Please take time this month to thank anyone you know who has given part of their life to serve our country.

Last month was a practice run for our REAL final house lunch. This Friday, please join us during your child's lunch. It should be a nice day outside, so bring a blanket and/or chairs to have a picnic with your student(s) outside! We look forward to celebrating our house system and our students with you this Friday, April 10th.

We have updated our school expectations posters all around the school to simplify and streamline our plan. All of the students have been introduced to what these behaviors look like in the cafeteria, assemblies, hallways, bathrooms, and on the playground. We would love parent support by using similar language with your student(s) when they are at home.

Students are still working for class root beer float parties with the principal, and they are also earning individual recognition from the principal. Encourage your student(s) to follow these expectations and earn some rewards!

Tolman Tigers are:

Respectful - Treat others, yourself, and property with care.

On Task - Pay attention and do your job.

Accountable - Take ownership of your actions and choices.

Responsible - Do what is expected and make safe choices.
