We've got a busy week ahead at Tipps! Next week is Red Ribbon Week (details below) and Halloween. The following week, Monday and Tuesday are holidays for our students. In between, all the learning and growing is still happening every single day.

Speaking of learning and growing ... that starts every single morning at 8:00, and it lasts all the way until 3:30. Our teachers pack each day with learning, and when students are late or leave early, they miss out on important parts of all that. We totally understand that things come up, but please try to make sure everyone wakes up with enough time to get to school and be in the classroom at 8:00, and please try to make appointments for after the school day. Also, please, unless they are sick, send your kids to school every day. If they do have to be absent, be sure to send a note when you child returns so we can mark their absence as excused.

We love spending our days with your kids and we love being a part of their learning and growing. Please make sure they're here everyday, arrive on time, stay all day, and are picked up on time.

Let us know if you need anything.

• Mrs. Manzano from Jessica Myers: Thank you for your continued love for your students and parents! She sends home the key to the homework for moms that don’t know the new math :) and always makes Wyleigh feel encouraged! Thank you!

It is imperative that anyone who picks up your child in the car rider line has THIS year's car tag.

If you don't have this year's car tag, you will be directed to the office.

Please be kind to our staff on duty in the morning and afternoon. They are trying to enforce our safety practices.

Attendance matters--including tardies. Though you may think a few minutes of being late doesn't make a difference, it does. We begin instruction at 8:00. 2nd grade starts with intervention time. PK, K, and 1st begin with phonics instruction. Missing any part of this instruction can affect your child. Please make every effort to get your child to school on time.

Dear Parents,

MISD has purchased a new reading program called Beanstack. Your students will be using this program all year to get them excited about reading! It’s free to use, and you can access it through your child’s Classlink profile. If you have questions about logging in to your child’s Classlink, see the pics below. Please encourage your older readers to read at home, and please read to your younger students out loud. Teachers (as well as me, the Librarian) will also be logging minutes read aloud to students at school. Students will be recognized for their reading minutes at Pep Rallies once a six weeks, and through prizes throughout the year. Thank you for supporting our school, and promoting reading!

Mrs. Gansert
