Hello Tamarack Families,

It has been a great week at Tamarack. Just a reminder that we do not have school this Friday, September 18th.


I can't believe that we are already at midterm. Students finished up fall MAP testing this week and are doing amazing things in the classroom. This week we had several 5th grade students earn a 100% on their Topic 1 Math test, and I am amazed by the amount of reading our students are logging for our Beanstack competition in library. These kids work hard every day, and it shows.


Our coin war for Puzzle Pieces is going strong. The students are having a great time trying to determine which staff member is going to get a pie in the face at our STAR Show.


We have several things coming up in the next couple of weeks. Please make sure you are checking the Important dates to stay informed about upcoming things going on at Tamarack.

Title 1 Title 1

Tamarack Elementary is eligible and receives federal funds under Title 1 regulations. Title 1 funds are distributed to all students in the county that do not meet an income threshold. Due to the number of students at TES that do not meet this threshold, we have a school-wide program for the use of these funds. This program allows all students to benefit from these funds, regardless of income.


This year, Tamarack will be utilizing Title 1 funds to assist with classroom size reduction, purchase evidence-based curricula for students, provide intervention assistance, offer additional professional development opportunities for staff members, and provide communication and connection with families.


This week students will be bringing home a Learning compact and Parent/Family involvement policy Please review that policy and sign/return the compact.


If you have any questions or feedback, please reach out to Jessica Morris at (270)852-7550 or at jessica.morris@daviess.kyschools.us
