Neil C Twitchell Elementary
Timber Wolf Times - 9/2/22
The Timber Wolf Times Newsletter will be emailed electronically each week. Please refer to this document for upcoming dates and information.
Progress Report Information
Progress grades will be available in Infinite Campus at the end of each month.
Please contact your child’s teacher if you would like to receive a paper copy. All progress reports require a parent signature and should be returned to the teacher if requested. Report cards are issued at the end of each semester for all students.
During the sixth week of each grading period, teachers are required to send notices to parents of unsatisfactory progress. Whenever a student’s grade appears likely to drop two or more grades, or if a student appears likely to get an N for “needs improvement” for that semester, a notice of unsatisfactory progress is sent home.
Should you desire a conference with your child’s teacher beyond this ongoing communication, please contact them directly so arrangements can be made. We encourage parent involvement and frequent conferences. If you do not have access to your child’s Infinite Campus database, please contact the school office for log-in information or contact the CCSD Infinite Campus Hotline at 702-799-PORT (7678).

Empathy is our September Character Trait
“You look upset. Can I help somehow?”
“That happened to me, too, once. I understand how you feel.”
“I’m happy for you!”
“I bet that hurts! Can I help you?” People with empathy….
Notice when people are hurting and feel for them.
Try to help someone who is hurt.
Comfort another because they understand the person is upset.
