Tildenville Elementary School Community Brief Friday, February 9, 2024 | |
|
Dear Mark,
As this is our first issue of the month, I hope February has been going very well for you and for your family. January was quite a busy period despite not having classes during the first week of the month. This includes both student engagement in the classrooms along with several special events which we have highlighted below. As you will see in the calendar and throughout this issue, the exciting pace continues as we are already in the second portion of the 3rd quarter.
| |
Our Tigers really enjoyed the PTA/Bond Foundation sponsored Science Festival on February 1st! (Additional highlights below.) | |
|
Have a great weekend, thanks for reading, and be sure to reach out if you ever need support.

Students in grades K-5 are able to read books and take Accelerated Reader (AR) quizzes to earn points. We now have a total of 156 students who are part of the challenge! Students have to earn at least 5 AR points to make it up on the board (pictured below) and then they start to level up from there by reading books and taking quizzes. | |
