'The Pack' PK-8 Coyote News
Tornillo PK-8 Newsletter- Welcome to Our School! 2023-2024
QT4: Week 3, April 29-May 3
Happy Sunday PK-8 Coyotes!
We are heading into the last 5 weeks of school. As the end of the school year apporaches, we want to thank you for your continued involvement.
Student Behavior & Campus Wide Expectations
We have exceptional students at our school and we love our students. We have seen an increase in referrals to the office as well as discipline referrals in and out of the classroom over the last week. As we get closer to the end of the school year, please continue to have conversations with your child regarding school and classroom expectations. Aside from negative consequences, additional consequences imposed at this time of year might include the removal of school incentives, field day, dances, or other fun type of activities. We are here to support all our students and appreciate your support.
As a friendly reminder, please, no outside toys such as dolls, stuffies, or gaming systems. Sport balls are still ok to bring if used during lunch or before school starts.
2024-2025 New & Returning Student Registration Open for All PK-12 Grade Students
We are excited to announce that our student registration for all students for the 2024-2025 school year is open. You can register your child online by visiting the district website or stop by at our school.
All returning students must register to ensure space for the 2024-2025 school year. Follow the link below to begin the registration process online.
Career Awareness Week at Tornillo PK-8
It's Career Awareness week at our school this week! Help us talk to your children about the importance about thinking about their future career and the importance of making smart choices in school. Please help support Career Awareness by participating in the dress-up days our awesome counselors have planned.
Tornillo Kids Fest 2024! Tuesday, April 30
We'd love for all our families to join us this Tuesday. Check out the flyer for more information.
STAAR Math for 3rd-8th Grade Students
Just a reminder that our 3rd-8th grade students will be taking the final STAAR test this Tuesday. It is critical that all students be in attendance and not be pulled out early for the day.
Student Attendance - When you miss a day, you miss alot.
We will continue to make daily contact with all families when a student is absent. As Texas law requires, a warning letter is sent to families when they have unexcused absences, are below 90% in attendance, or have extreme tardies. Please remember to submit your doctor's or parent note within 48 hours.
"Every child. Every day. Whatever it takes!"
