Weekly Message
We have had a couple areas of safety concern recently. The first is in the parking lot during drop off and pick up. We have people double parking in front of the school. Please be sure you are parked on a curb (whether in the parking lot or the street). When cars are doubled up, it increases the risk of a student not being seen as they navigate to/from their car. We need to keep our students safe.
The second area of concern is during recess. In the Spring, as the weather gets nicer, students start struggling to remember how to behave outside. Please review the ROAR expectations with your students. We are reviewing them at school, but it helps when parents discuss the same things at home as well.
We had our first ROAR root beer float parties on Friday! Please continue to encourage your students to follow ROAR and work toward earning those class parties.
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.
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.
Caps on Day!
Next Wednesday, March 25th, is the opening day of the MLB season. To celebrate, we will be having a Caps on Day here at school. Please wear your favorite MLB (or any other) team baseball cap to school that day!
