We will not have school on November 25th - 29th. We hope you have a safe and relaxing break!
Take-Home Folders
Take-home folders are sent home each day and are to be brought back to school each day. Graded work is sent home each Tuesday. Please check and empty your child's take-home folder and return any corrected work by the following Tuesday unless otherwise communicated by your child's teacher.
Map Testing
Second grade will have MAP Testing on December 3rd and 2nd from 8am - 10:30am. Please make sure all students arrive promptly on these mornings so that we can get started right away.
Help Us Help Others
Tadlock has signed up to donate clothes and gifts for Frisco ISD families through a program called WIth Love, It’s a Small World.
Each grade level has adopted one angel and will be collecting gifts and gift cards for their angel. You may also make an online donation via zelle. Please click on the grade level information below if you would like to contribute!
Your child can bring their donation directly to their classroom, all donations must be brought to the school by Monday, December 2, 2024!
If you have any questions or if you would like to adopt your own angel as a family or with a community group, please reach out to our counselor, Mrs. K at karlovichj@friscoisd.org or our receptionist robertk@friscoisd.org.
