A Note from Mrs. Lauri
Greetings Toll Gate Families,
Thank you all so much for the generosity you showed the teachers this past week for Teachers Appreciation Day. We are so appreciative of the partnership that we have with the parent community!
As we round out the last month of school, we are excited to continue our work with Character Strong. Our students will be engaging in activities that foster their creativity this month as that is our theme for the month of May. Students in grades PreK- 2 will be participating in an assembly provided by Amerikick to review confidence and courage this Friday. Students in grades 1 & 2 are patiently waiting for their class trips, and students in grades 4-5 continue to prepare for the spring concert. Our entire school community is looking forward to field day towards the end of the month.
As we all buckle up for the year end celebratory events, please know that we will do our best to make sure we continue to send out clear, concise reminders.
As always, please reach out with any questions.
With Thanks,
Melissa Lauri
Telesafe for Daily Attendance & Attendance Letters
It is pertinent that we have accurate daily attendance to ensure the safety of your children. If your child will be absent or will be reporting to school late, please call our Telesafe line at 609-737-4008, option 2. Please refrain from only emailing the classroom teacher and Ms. Smith, the school nurse, to report attendance. In the event a teacher or Ms. Smith is absent for the day, only Telesafe is checked for absences, their emails are not. Ms. Smith will continue to call home to ensure your child's safety, if your child is not in school and we did not receive a phone call through telesafe stating that would be absent.
During the month of March, we shared out letters to families to notify you of how many absences your child/children have. Any student that has accrued has more than 6 absences will be sent a letter. Please know that if you receive a letter, it is just for information purposes. You be not be required to take any action.
