Updates and Info from Dr. T

Thank you for another great week. This week, tutoring starts for Reading and Math on Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday. The criteria for tutoring is very specific and set by the Alabama Literacy and Numeracy Acts. We hope to invite more students throughout the year. School pictures are this week, and note the date change for the Grandparent's Luncheon. All family members are invited - please RSVP this week so the cafeteria can plan.

Buddy-a-Thon is going great! We are able to hire three math after-school tutors now and possibly more as the fundraiser continues. Buddy stuffing day is September 19th (parents may attend 🧸).

We appreciate all participants!

CLASSDOJO - make sure you join your teacher's ClassDojo. This is the easiest way to receive class updates from the teacher.

Quick plug for Joining PTA: Our PTA is a great resource and an easy way to stay connected. The dues are very affordable ($7) and we are always looking for volunteers in any capacity. ALSO - All Pro Dads was started last year and we look to increase our participation and see APD's positive influence throughout the school year.
