Dear Parents & Guardians,

Today we met with our scholars, your loved ones, during our Town Hall Lunch & Learn. During this meeting, we discussed several important topics to ensure our scholars are supported, safe, and set up for success:

MTSS Purpose – how we provide academic and behavioral support for every scholar

Attendance Competition – encouraging strong attendance through friendly, positive challenges

Bullying – reinforcing that bullying will not be tolerated and reminding scholars how to seek help

Dress Code – expectations for appropriate school attire

Acceptable Use Policy (Technology) – responsible use of devices and online platforms

We will continue to keep families informed and engaged as we work together to support our Tiger Scholars. Thank you for your ongoing partnership in helping us build a safe and successful learning environment.
