TIGER TIMES

Dear Titus Family,

As we wrap up another wonderful week, I want to take a moment to express how proud I am of the energy and enthusiasm that fills our halls. It's been a fantastic week, and we've been fortunate to enjoy some beautiful weather that has brought a sense of joy and excitement to our great school.

Spring is in full swing, and it's been wonderful to see our students participate in so many fun and engaging activities. From outdoor games to creative classroom projects, there is a sense of renewal and growth all around. Our students continue to inspire me with their hard work, curiosity, and teamwork.

JUST IN!!!!

An Amazing Surprise from Titus!

What an incredible day. Today, Titus surprised me with a special assembly filled with so much love and support. It was a heartwarming celebration, and I’m truly grateful for the thoughtful gesture. To top it off, even my wonderful husband, Mr. Zaleski, was there to share the moment with me!

This surprise marked the culmination of my doctoral work, and I can't express how meaningful it was to share this milestone with my Titus Tigers. While I may now be a "Dr.", I am still your proud principal, committed to leading and supporting our amazing school. This will certainly be a core memory that I’ll cherish forever.

I hope you all enjoy a well-deserved break over the weekend. Thank you for being such a dedicated and supportive part of our school community.

Warmly,

Your Proud Principal

Dr. Helen Sclama Zaleski

Hi Titus Community –

What a wonderful week it was, and we ended our week with a bang. The entire school came together to celebrate our very own DR. HELEN SCLAMA ZALESKI!!! Mrs. Horan and I explained to the students on Thursday afternoon that Dr. Zaleski, defended her dissertation and was successful! The students came in ready to celebrate today and honor our leader! It was a tremendous day to celebrate, and I could tell the students were proud to call her their principal.

Yesterday I was able to check out the amazing work that Ms. Caela Tobin is doing with our Science Olympiad students. The exploration and collaboration that is going on in there is tremendous. We are so thankful for Mrs. Patel and Ms. Tobin for all the work they have done to provide our students with a great opportunity.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Your Proud Assistant Principal,

Mr. Dave Filson

Guest Reader Mackenzie Patterson joined us to share her book, A Girl with Down Syndrome.

We are an "A" or early school, and our hours are 8:35 AM to 3:15 PM.

The morning kindergarten session hours are 8:35 AM to 11:10 AM.

The afternoon kindergarten session will run from 12:40 PM to 3:15PM.

Please be aware that the school day begins at 8:35 AM in your child(ren)'s classroom(s). If you are a car rider in the morning, it is recommended that children are dropped off no later than 8:30 AM in order to get to their classrooms for the start of the school day at 8:35 AM. If a student arrives in their classroom beyond 8:35 AM, they are considered tardy. Parents will need to come into the building to sign their child in if they arrive after 8:35 AM.

The adults supervising the car-rider drop-off line will be on duty until 8:32 AM. Students dropped off after 8:32 AM will more than likely not be able to make it to their classrooms on time for the start of the school day at 8:35 AM. Also, for safety reasons, students arriving to school prior to 8:15 AM, need to be supervised by their parent/caregiver. We ask that all students wait with their family member in the drop off line until 8:15 AM.

Performers, musicians, and everyone behind the scenes at each of CBSD's middle and high schools welcome community members to spring musical season across the district, beginning March 6 at Holicong and Tohickon Middle schools and closing on May 4 at CB West High School. In between, the district's other four middle schools and two high schools will stage their own performances for a total of eight unique musicals performed over 16 days and nights of theater in CB! Learn more about each show and how to purchase tickets.

NHS will be hosting a book drive for gently used and new books. The drive will last from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm in the front parking lot of CB South. The donated books will go to children's hospitals and local daycares in need of children's books.

Calling all kindergarten to 6th-grade students -- it's almost time lace up your sneakers for the first annual CB Kids Run event on Saturday, April 26 then get ready to TRI something new at the third annual CB Kids Triathlon on Sunday, June 8. Registration for both events is now open. Learn more and register!

On Friday, April 25, the CB Titan wrestling program will be hosting FREE Friday night sessions for all interested students, grades K thru 6, for 6 weeks. These sessions will include wrestling-based drills to not only introduce the sport to your child but begin forging the basic skills of our sport into our future wrestlers. Click Wrestling Program Spring 2025.docx for details.

My name is Dan McAuley, and I have been a wrestling coach and parent in our community now for the last 14 years. I have watched as many of our current high school wrestlers have grown into outstanding student athletes using the life lessons, they learned in our sport to guide them in their futures. Wrestling more than any sport your child can compete in teaches and instills:

· Overall mental and physical fitness.

· Good listening skills.

· Self-confidence and independence.

· Self-discipline and respect for others.

· The ability to cope and deal with failure.

· The value of hard work in pursuit of one’s goals.

· Self-defense (Wrestling is the Ultimate Martial Art)

In our sport it’s not a matter of size, skill, or natural athletic ability. Champions come in all shapes and sizes. Talent is the result of pursued interest. No other sport allows your child to compete in a team atmosphere while allowing for individual achievement like wrestling.

Starting Friday April 25th, the CB South Titan wrestling program will be hosting a “Free” Friday night wrestling and play session for all interested students from the schools noted below grades K thru 8 for 6 whole weeks.

Participating Schools:

· Mill Creek

· Jamison

· Butler

· Titus

· Barkley

· Tamanend

· Unami

These sessions will combine wrestling-based drills along with gymnastic style games to not only introduce the sport to your child but begin forging the basic skills of our sport into our future wrestlers.

NO EXPERIENCE is necessary.

Session will be held in the CB South Wrestling room as follows:

Starting Fridays 4/25/25 thru 06/06/25

• Grades K thru 4 - Arrive 5:45 PM – Session from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM
• Grades 5 & 8 Arrive 6:45 PM – Session from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM

• > Wrestlers grade 5 thru 8 will have additional opportunities thru the summer into the fall

To register simply email Coach Dan @ dmcauley@cbsd.org

Be sure to include you child’s:

How the CB Education Foundation Supports Students

The Central Bucks Education Foundation is a local non-profit whose mission is to enrich the experience of CB students and teachers by funding innovative educational opportunities, grants, and scholarships. As a non-profit, CBEF relies on donations from community members. With generous donations, big and small, CBEF strives to make a difference in every student's education. To learn more about the foundation and how you can support its efforts, visit CBEF's website.

As we approach the end of the year, the Central Bucks School District Education Foundation invites you to consider making a tax-deductible investment in education. Right now, teachers from schools across the district are submitting grants for programs that directly enhance the learning experiences of your children. Your generous donation will help make this a reality. Every contribution, big or small, helps CBSD educators invest in innovative classroom projects and resources. You can choose to make a gift in honor of a special teacher or student, and we will share that acknowledgement with them. To donate, visit https://cbeducationfoundation.org and email Jackie@cbeducationfoundation.org with any questions.

As we begin the 2024-25 school year, CBSD wishes to remind families of important information regarding attendance. Pennsylvania's school laws, like Act 138 of 2016 and the updated Act 16, outline what is required for mandatory school attendance and procedures to follow when students are absent or late.

Titus will expect all potential volunteers to complete their paperwork for clearances prior to assuming any volunteer/chaperone role within the school. This will ensure we are in line with district and state expectations.

Who Needs Clearances: An individual who is responsible for the child's welfare or has direct contact with children. Pennsylvania law requires all persons having direct contact with school children to obtain background checks and clearances. In the best interest of the safety and security of our students, Central Bucks School District required the submission of these clearances prior to volunteering during the school year. Approved volunteers are given an identification card to be presented at the school (along with your photo ID, such as a driver's license) when volunteering. Please allow 7-10 days after you have submitted your online application for receipt of the ID card.

Additional information and steps on how to complete your clearances can be found on our district website by clicking here.

Many students across the district currently have negative balances in their lunch accounts. We ask all parents and guardians to please check their MySchoolBucks account to view their balance and, if negative, to please make a payment. Even if you pack a lunch for your child(ren), they still may be purchasing cafeteria items.

To make a payment: Log in to MySchoolBucks and click MAKE A PAYMENT. Click CAFETERIA MEAL PAYMENT. Select or enter a payment amount. Click ADD TO BASKET. Click CHECK OUT NOW to complete the payment process.

For complete instructions on how to use your MySchoolBucks account, go to http://learnmyschoolbucks.com/Parent. You can also use MSB to monitor what your student is purchasing for breakfast and lunch and check your child(ren)'s account balance(s). If you have questions or concerns related to your child(ren)’s account(s), please call the Aramark Food Services office at 267-893-5758.

The application for free and reduced meal pricing for the 2024-25 school year is now open. Breakfast is available at no charge to students, and lunch costs vary depending on grade level. Your child(ren) may qualify for free meals or for reduced price meals. Learn more and apply by visiting the full informational webpage on CBSD.org here.
