October Tointon Times
A School Community Newsletter
Nurse's Note:
From the Health Office:
It's the Rule...Shots Before School!
Colorado Law requires all students attending Colorado schools and licensed child care to be vaccinated against certain diseases unless an annual exemption is filed.
All Kindergarten students must be current with five immunizations (MMR, Polio, DTap, Varicella, Hepatitis B).
All 6th Grade students must have had an additional TDap immunization between 5th and 6th grade.
Students who are non-compliant with vaccines will receive a letter home in early October and will be required to complete these immunizations before early November.
If you are unsure if your child has their immunizations, contact your school health office at 970-348-4026
to check on their immunization status.
Vision/ Hearing Screening:
We recently completed Vision and Hearing screenings at school if you receive a Vision Referral Letter for your child in the mail, this means that your child did not pass the screening and needs further vision follow-up with a vision professional. Please get in touch with the health office with any questions/concerns.
Football!
Basketball!
Hello Tointon Families,
All 6th and 7th grade boys,
Basketball season is approaching very quickly, and I want to make sure all parents and athletes have all the information needed for basketball.
To get ready for the season, we are holding two open gyms next week: Tuesday, October 3rd and Thursday, October 5th from 3:00-5:00. Students interested in playing basketball this season are encouraged to attend. Players should bring athletic clothes, basketball shoes and a water bottle. Thanks and GO TOINTON.
Practices will begin the week of Oct 9th, once we confirm the day I will send out an email to let parents know times and days athletes will be practicing.
In order for all athletes to be able to practice physicals and registration packets have to be completed. If your athlete completed a registration packet for football, cross country, and/or swimming, please simply inform Jacque(me) of their desire to play basketball.
If your child didn't participate in the sports previously listed, please click here to access rSchool to complete the registration information.
We will also be having a parent meeting; we will provide day and time as soon as possible.
Thanks
Tointon Athletic Secretary

Tointon Tunes (Choir)
Tointon Tunes has been off to a great start! We have learned a total of 4 songs in 4th/5th and 4 in 6th/7th. We are so excited to continue learning and share our love for singing! Stay "tuned" for our upcoming performances!
Student Council
Student council is off and running with a great team of 5th, 6th, and 7th graders leading the school. In October we are learning how to run the school store and mapping out community service projects we’d like to accomplish this year. If you are aware of a community service project you think our Tointon kids would be helpful with supporting, please feel free to share ideas with Mrs. Vasco or Mrs. Moreno.
