Dear Families,

January is usually a pretty quiet month for us at Tiogue School.  After the whirlwind of the Nov./Dec. holidays a little peace is a good thing! 

We are looking for a parent to serve on our School Improvement Team.  The team meets the second Wed. of the month at 7:30 am.  The main purpose of this committee is to improve teaching and learning at our school.  We review feedback from our committees as well as review and set school goals.  We always welcome parent input and feedback.  If you would be interested in serving on this committee, please contact me.

At the end of the month, we have Chris Poulis coming to our school.  Chris is a motivational speaker who uses his bike riding talent to engage the students.  Chris has been to Tiogue in the past and the children have loved him.  Many thanks to our terrific PTA for bringing him to our school!

Lastly, I have some concerns about students who are getting dropped off in the morning.  I realize that there is often a long line of cars waiting and that many of you have to get home or get to work.  However, please be patient and careful when you drop off your child.  Some folks are rushing around cars and even though I try to be out on bus duty daily, I’m afraid that some day one of our children or a parent will be injured.   Thank you for your attention to this matter.

On behalf of our staff I wish all of you a happy and healthy new year!

Sincerely,

Denise Richtarik

Principal
