All items left in the lost and found as of December 21 will be donated to Second Blessings.

Our school improvement construction project continues to move along, and we are looking to have students eating in the cafeteria by the middle of next week. The next phase of construction will begin during winter break, which will affect our 3rd grade classes. Classroom moves will begin at the end of next week. 3rd grade families will be getting more information in the weekly newsletter from their teacher. Please reach out to Mr. Johnson, Mr. Larrison, or your child's classroom teacher with any questions.

"My Closet" (A New Clothing Pantry)

What Is “My Closet”?

“My Closet” is a clothing pantry where Tipton Community School Corporation and partners in the community come together to provide new, name brand clothes free of charge to students in need. Students who attend Tipton Community School Corporation are allowed to “shop” for a jacket, shirt, pants, socks, underwear and receive a haircut certificate from “Absolutely You” Salon. Students may “shop” one time each semester. Everything is free, and parents do not need to meet strict income guidelines. The only requirement is the parents / guardians feel the student needs a new outfit and they cannot afford to buy one. All students in grades Pre-K through Seniors in high school are eligible.

How Do I Set Up An Appointment?

Anyone wanting to schedule an appointment to “shop” should contact Mrs. Schultz, Program Director by calling 317-677-3477 or 675-7521 ext. 2235. (These are new numbers, the old one will not work).

Winter Coats Available in October

Winter coats, hats and gloves are available beginning October 17th. Students in need of a coat are able to get one at no cost. They are limited to one each school year. Contact Mrs. Schultz to set up a time to “shop” for a coat.

How Is “My Closet” Funded?

“My Closet” is funded by the generous people of Tipton County and others throughout Indiana. Funds come from local churches, businesses, philanthropic groups and individuals who want to help families that are struggling financially. These donors have joined TCSC in the belief that every child deserves to have a new outfit, good shoes and a warm winter coat. Not only are clothes a basic necessity, but a new outfit can help boost self-esteem.

Jubilee Christmas

Applications for Jubilee Christmas are available through Mrs. Schultz beginning October 1st. To obtain an application for help at Christmas, please contact Mrs. Schultz at 675-7521 ext. 2235 or 317-677-3477.

Students will start entering the elementary at 7:40 AM. All car riders (except for Pre-K students) should be dropped off and picked up in the car rider line, and adults should remain in their vehicle. Please have your car name tag visible to staff during dismissal.

This year, we have implemented the following parameters around homework:

• Kindergarten: 10 minutes per night
• Grades 1-2: 20 minutes per night
• Grades 3-5: 30 minutes per night

These minutes are the maximum your child should have per night. If you are noticing that your child is spending more than this number on a consistent basis, please make your child's teacher aware. Open communication between home and school is a key component in working together for student success.
