Mrs. Morris' Message
Hello Tamarack families,
We made it through our first full week of school, and it has been a wonderful week! Students are already hard at work in the classroom. There are so many great things already going on in our building. We also had our first grade-level STAR reward this week for students that have followed Tamarack Expectations. We will continue to teach and model these expectations daily. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

PBIS and the STAR System
PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) is an organized, data-driven system of interventions, strategies, and supports that positively impact school-wide and individualized behavior planning. Our goal is to model and teach appropriate school behavior.
On Monday, we will be starting our new STAR reward system. I have attached some information explaining how the system works. This system was created to reward students for following our Tamarack Expectations.
PikMyKid
Tamarack uses PikMyKid for End of the Day Transportation. I have included a link to the PikMyKid Parent guide. If your child's transportation is going to change for the day, please use the app to change his/her calendar. If you are having trouble with PikMyKid please contact our office at (270)852-7550.
