Classroom assignments will be posted in Infinite Campus (IC) in the afternoon of August 27, 2024. All families are invited to attend the Timberwolf Tailgate scheduled on Wednesday, August 28, from 4:00-5:30 pm. Students and families will be able to drop off supplies and meet teachers in their classrooms from 4:00-4:45 pm and then enjoy socializing with other Taft families from 4:45-5:30 pm.

The school day begins at 8:15 am and ends at 3:00 pm.

Students who are taking breakfast will be able to enter the building beginning at 7:55 am and will eat breakfast in their classrooms.

Breakfast is available, free of charge for all students, in the classroom until 8:15 am.

Students arriving after 8:15 am are considered tardy and will need to check in at the school office before going to class.

Students will enter and exit the building using specified doors. Please see the table below to help determine where you would like to drop off and pick up your child(ren).

If your child will be taking any prescription medication while at school, consent forms need to be completed and signed by a physician before we can administer any prescription medication. The form you will need can be picked up at the Taft office or found online by clicking on the link below.

Nonprescription medications may also be administered at school if a medication consent form is filled out and signed by the child’s guardian.

ALL medications need to be brought to the office by the child’s parent or guardian. Medication consent forms can be obtained in theTaft School Office or by clicking on the link below.

They will be supplying ALL Taft students with a backpack filled with school supplies to start the school year!

I hope you are enjoying your summer and looking forward to a great 2024-2025 school year. Please be sure to register your child(ren) for the upcoming school year by July 19, 2024, which is the end of this week. Information on how to complete registration has been emailed to you by NSJD and can also be found in this mailing. (I have also attached the Taft School Supply list in this brief newsletter to help with your back to school shopping).

We are looking forward to seeing all Taft families in August at our Back to School, Timberwolf Tailgate! More information will be sent home soon!

The Online Registration annual update is now open on the Infinite Campus Parent Portal for enrolled students to complete their required annual update of information as well as give consent for annual release forms and waivers for the 2024-25 school year. ALL families are asked to complete this at their earliest convenience to ensure all information is up to date prior to school starting (including newly enrolled students).

• All demographic changes should be made ONLY through the Online Registration link, not the demographic and family tabs-this information will be updated when your Online Registration/Annual update is processed.
