The Principal's Corner
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
We will continue to communicate with families regarding attendance, missing assignments, grades, and upcoming school events. Working together helps ensure that every student has the support and encouragement needed to be successful.
As we continue to promote LIONS PRIDE, we encourage students to demonstrate these important qualities each day:
L – Leaders: Participate in class discussions.
I – Involved: Take an active role in learning and school activities.
O – On Task: Stay focused and complete assignments in a timely manner.
N – Noble: Make good choices and do what is right, even when no one is watching.
S – Safe: Make safe choices and help maintain a positive learning environment.
Thank you for reinforcing these expectations at home and for being an important part of our school family. Together, we can continue helping our students grow into responsible, respectful, and successful LIONS!
This month, we’ll be focusing on thankfulness, kindness, and giving back. Talk with your child about something they’re thankful for each day — those little conversations go a long way in building a positive mindset.
Please keep an eye on our upcoming events and announcements; November always seems to fly by! Thank you for being such an important part of our Tuscumbia family.
