Arrival to Tremont
We started off very strong but are starting to struggle with our on time arrival at Tremont. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we had between 50 and 60 kids per day who signed in as tardy. This impacts our learning environment and delays the start of the school day. We ask that you please partner with us to help us ensure that we have a smooth start to the school day.
We are going to experiment with unloading cars along the sidewalk near the swimming pool in the hopes that this will move traffic more quickly.
Please remember that we have expanded our arrival so that we have a full 30 minutes for parents to drop kids off at school.
Book Fair is Coming
We are excited to invite you to our November Scholastic Book Fair! Hosted by our media center, this event is an opportunity for students of all ages to build their home libraries and further their love of reading. As always, all purchases benefit our library media center. This year's book fair will take place from November 11th-15th in our media center.
Your child's classroom teacher will inform you of their browsing and shopping times.
Family Shop Night will be Thursday, November 14th from 5:00-7:00 pm in the media center
More information to come in the following weeks!
Harvest Parade and Parties-October 31st
Hi Tremont Families!
We wanted to share some information about the upcoming Fall Harvest Parade + Parties! We are so excited to share that the Tremont Center businesses are partnering with us to host this celebration!
Please note the following:
All students will remain at Tremont for a regular school day. Class times and other parts of our daily schedule will remain the same as a regular school day.
Treat bags are provided! No need to bring your own!
Students are permitted to wear their costumes all day or may change into them during the school day. Costumes should be school appropriate and not violent or too scary and students are not permitted to bring costume accessories like swords, wands, lassos, etc.
School-appropriate masks and inflatable costumes are permitted during the parade but NOT during the school day.
Please be sure to send students with a costume that can go over clothing if they are not wearing it to school.
Kindergarteners are encouraged to wear their costumes all day.
The event will take place on October 31st and students have two options:
Students can choose to participate in the Fall Harvest Parade and Party as indicated above.

On Monday, October 21st, and Tuesday, October 22nd, all Tremont third graders will complete the Grade 3 English Language Arts Ohio State Test. Make up testing will occur October 23-25th. Here are a couple of important items that will help prepare your child for test day.
Please make sure your child gets PLENTY of sleep on the days before testing and eats a hearty breakfast.
Students may bring mints only (no gum) to keep their brains alert during testing.
Please send a FULLY charged iPad on each testing day to help your child get a smooth start.
No phones, Gizmos, or Apple watches can be worn or powered on during testing. Please consider leaving them at home on testing days if possible, otherwise these items will be turned off and secured in the room and returned after testing.
