What a great start to the school year! 3 weeks have already passed so quickly. The students are doing a great job learning and practicing our PAWS expectations and getting used to the routines and procedures. Continue to watch our social media for upcoming events. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher or call the front office.

Your proud principal,

Kristie Kelley

A three-tier start/release time format will allow the district to move to a three-tier transportation system which will create more availability of buses, reduce time spent on buses, and reduce the number of students on buses.

We are so very excited to welcome parents on campus to eat lunch with your child(ren.) Please be mindful of the following rules to ensure all students safety.

• Visitor must be listed in Skyward to eat with your child.
• You may only eat lunch with your child. Other students may not join you.
• You must eat at the designated parent tables by the cafeteria windows.
  
• You may not walk your child back to class once lunch is over. Give your hugs and kisses, say goodbye and head to the front.
  

Our district-wide reading challenge started August 12th! Last year, New Caney ISD students read and logged FOUR MILLION minutes with Beanstack. Can we reach SIX MILLION minutes this year? The Great Escape challenge runs until May 2nd.

As students read, they log their minutes in Beanstack and earn badges along the way. You can do this at home by logging into Classlink and finding Beanstack in the Library folder! For questions, see your campus media specialist. Happy Reading!

Congrats to our TAVOLA Students!

Tavola has earned the IGNITER status in Beanstack for campus wide participation.

Only three elementary campuses have earned this award and TAVOLA is leading with way in FIRST PLACE!

We still have more badges to earn so KEEP READING TIMBERWOLVES!

The safety of all in our community is our priority and we will continue to make changes to our procedures as needed. We thank you for your patience and support

Click the below button to learn all about Walkers/Bikers, Car Riders, and Bus Rider procedures.

For more transportation information, visit the NCISD Transportation site.

All parents MUST have a current year dismissal tag displayed in the window during car rider pick up. Once we've logged your child's name into our dismissal program, keep the pass displayed and DO NOT change lanes.

If you do NOT have a dismissal tag, you will be asked to park, come in to get a dismissal tag, and return to the car rider line. If you did not pick up your dismissal tag at Meet the teacher, please come pick it up in the front office before 3:00pm.

For safety, every student has a backpack tag. These tags are color coded and zip tied to each student's backpack with their name and their teacher's name. With so many students in our building, this helps us quickly identify a student and be able to get them to their correct place. Please make sure your child keeps those tags on their backpack at all times.

Applications for the NCISD Volunteer program are now open!

The purpose of the volunteer program is to enrich the quality of education for the district’s students by providing opportunities for parents and community members to become actively involved in schools. All prospective volunteers are required to submit a volunteer application and complete a criminal history/background check each year. All volunteers must submit a new application each school year.

Please visit our Volunteer page to learn about becoming a volunteer and access the application.

At Tavola Elementary, we teach the 7 mindsets! Monthly we will focus our SEL lessons on a mindset. Each month a student from each class will be selected by their teacher that showed qualities of the mindset of the month.

5th graders, need help with homework, assignments, or essay feedback?

Paper, the free online tutoring site for all NCISD students grades 5-12th, is a wonderful resource that can provide students with 24/7 tutoring assistance for any subject. Check out this Link for more information.

All medications must be in the perscription bottle and turned in by a guardian. If your child requires medicine such as Tyleynol or Advil, a doctor's note will now be required.

Parents, please send your child to school every day with their SMART Tag. This tag is necessary to travel on the school bus every day. The SMART Tag is also the preferred method of purchasing their lunches in the cafeteria and checking out books in the library. If your child loses their SMART Tag, you can purchase a replacement at office for $5.

Student Breakfast is FREE!

Student Lunch is $3.00

Click here to find the FREE AND REDUCED LUCH FORM.

You can view your child's lunch menu, account balance, make payments and receive low balance reminders at School Cafe.

We would love to celebrate your child's birthday! Celebrations must occur after 3:00pm. You may bring cupcakes or cookies but they must be store bought. Please do not send balloons, flowers or goodie bags. You can order cookies through Child Nutrition if you're unable to make it to the store. Use this FORM to order.
