Non-Student Day
Greetings! On Friday, September 12th, scholars will be bringing
home beginning of the school year testing data. If you attended
the first Parent University, these assessments were reviewed. This
information provides our teachers with the skills your scholar has
mastered from the previous school year, as well as skills that he/she
may be struggling with. Based on this data, we may be assigning
additional supports such as after-school tutoring or Saturday
school, so that we can ensure your scholar is academically
successful.
Shouts out to Mrs. Bales and Miss Cellini for holding Saturday
school last weekend! Saturday schools are assigned to help
scholars grow and reach their maximum potential. 
A parent interest meeting was held last week for families wanting
to be a part of our Parent Teacher Organization. We have collected
biographies of parents interested in running for office. Be on the
look-out for ballots to be sent out soon.
Our next Parent University on September 25th will focus on
understanding Tindley Culture and Systems. Learn more about the
history of Tindley and procedures implemented throughout the
school.

case it gets lost or misplaced.

make sure to sign off each evening, letting the teacher know that you
are aware of classroom behavior and home learning assignments.
