Thank you for a supportive September!
A quick note of appreciation for your support and patience as our team worked through all of the firsts for Tamarack. The first arrival, dismissal, drills, recess, lunch, open house, school wide assembly and much more. We had a great turn out last Thursday, thank you for attending. It is a gift to serve you and we look forward to many more opportunites to celebrate our community!
Coming soon...school zone lights on Kinnaman and Reed! Please be cognizant of your speed when traveling to dismissal by car. As you likely have noticed, we have a lot of family pick up; walkers and drivers. Your patience and attention to safety is appreciated particularly as we enter the rainy season. We have stationed a crossing guard at the crosswalk in the parking lot. Please use the crosswalk when walking with your children even to your parked car. We truly appreciate it, we have some solo student walkers and bike riders and want to ensure a safe route home for everyone as best we can. Thank you!
Tamarack Picture Day is coming soon!
