Hello Tamarack Families,

I don't know about you all, but I am ready for Fall and some cooler weather. This was definitely a hot August. This past week we started MAP testing, and I am so proud of how hard all of our students worked. The determination that these students have is what makes this place so wonderful.


Just a reminder that we do not have school on Monday, September 7th.


Wednesday, September 9th is High Attendance Day! We have some fun things planned and would love to have all of our students at school that day.


I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend!


-Mrs. Morris

Free/Reduced Lunch Application Free/Reduced Lunch Application

A huge thank you to all of our families that completed the application this week. This is so helpful to us. Just a reminder that even if you don't qualify, the school benefits from you completing the application.


Free/Reduced Application

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
