Tiger Times

Tiger Times is a monthly newsletter from the administration of Table Rock Elementary to families of TRE to keep them updated on the monthly learning and events at school.

Dear Parents, Families, and Guardians,

As we are settled into our school year and are ending our first quarter (9 weeks), we encourage ALL families to attend Parent-Teacher Conferences. It is so important to have the a partnership with families as you are the vital key component of your child's education. Please look for communication coming home from your child's teacher to set up an appointment for your conferences. Conferences may be held before 7:30am and after 3:30pm on Nov 21 and 22; and all day on the days of Nov 25 to 27. Please know that your child's teacher's availability for days/times will vary.

Our school, and district, follow the guidance and systems from PBIS - positive behavior interventions and supports. Teachers work with students to set up expectations for and support behavioral, academic, social, emotional, and mental health (PBIS Lessons). When implemented with fidelity, PBIS improves social emotional competence, academic success, and school climate. It also improves teacher health and wellbeing. It is a way to create positive, predictable, equitable and safe learning environments where everyone thrives. Please see www.pbis.org for more information.

Our Character Trait for the month of November is: Gratitude. Check out this link for more information on Purposefull People's Gratitude overview. At home, you could discuss what gratitude looks like at home (ie- what are we thankful for) and what it looks like at school (ie- thanking others when we are grateful for what they have done).

We use Purposefull People's Character Strong Traits to assist our students in learning social skills and interacting with others. Here are our topics for the year:

• Be kind: respect, empathy, cooperation
• Be Strong: responsibility, perseverance, courage
• Be well: gratitude, honesty, creativity

We are looking for some awesome (you!) families to join PTO. PTO helps to organize events at school, support and honor staff (teacher appreciation week), and sponsor fundraisers for the school such as Boo-grams, Valen-grams and other such events.

If you are interested in joining this fantastic group and helping out students and staff, please email Brandi at tablerockpto@gmail.com

EPSD9 offers an optional iPad Protection Plan to students and families. This annual Protection Plan is effective from the first day school starts to the day before school starts the following academic year. The cost for the Protection Plan is $25.00. The Protection Plan will provide coverage for repair or replacement on and off school grounds for incidents described below. Without the Protection Plan, parents will be responsible for all repair or replacements costs. You can pay in the front office.

If your student did not have the Protection Plan during the prior school year, their school will need to verify the condition of the iPad prior to accepting the Protection Plan fee payment. Before the iPad is covered under the Protection Plan, the device must be inspected to ensure it's:

1. Operational: Demonstrate that the device powers on
2. Free of cracks on the screen: best to see this with the screen illuminated by an external light source with the screen powered off
3. The case is in fair condition without writing or pen marks and can protect the device (flap/keyboard attached during inspection)

For more information, visit the iPad Protection Plan Information page on our website.
