Weekly Message
Our class pictures with the school bus went great today! They will look so amazing in our yearbooks.
A yellow educational concern form should have come home with your student today. Please get that filled out and returned to Mr. Forbush by Monday, April 27th so we can start planning for next year.
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. Please see the testing schedule attached so you know when your student will be testing.
Thank you for your continued support at home—it truly makes a difference in helping our students thrive.
Month of the Military Child
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.
Grandparents Art Night
This month PTA will be hosting a Grandparents' Art Night. It will be April 23rd from 6:00 to 8:00 here at the school. We will also have a buy one, get one free bookfair that night. Come see all the cool books and school supplies available.
We look forward to seeing the work of all our little artists. Everyone is invited to come enjoy a delightful evening of art and enchantment. The lovely art will be on display and there will be a craft and treats for all.
Tolman Tigers ROAR
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.
Celebrations!
