Weekly Update 3/6

Good afternoon families!

 I hope you stayed warm and safe during the snow this weekend. A handful of updates and reminders for today.

Good luck Mrs. Flynn!
This Friday was the last day for Mrs. Flynn, one of the clerks in the main office. She is moving on over to City Hall in the Clerk’s office. We wish her the best of luck in her new position. Interviews are currently underway for her replacement and we will send a welcome email as soon as we find our new Tiger!

Read Across Tilton Week
We are celebrating Read Across America week a week later at Tilton. See our themes below:

Monday-Dress for Success-what do you want to be when you get older?

Tuesday-Cozy Up Author study-Wear your PJs as we have some fun read alouds!

Wednesday-Hat Day! In honor of Dr. Seuss wear a crazy hat or a hat you just love to wear!

Thursday-Celebrate Diversity-Students may dress or bring items from their culture to share with their classmates as we learn about the variety of countries, cultures, and traditions that make Tilton an amazing place!

Friday: Dress as a Book Character-Are you a wizard like Harry or curious like Alice in Wonderland? Come dressed as your favorite book character!

Weather/Recess
As long as there is no ice or massive amounts of puddles, we will go outside. Please encourage your child to wear sneakers or boots (and bring sneakers for PE) to ensure their feet stay dry from the smaller puddles/snow that will still be outside. If your child needs a coat/hat/mittens, please let us know. Hoping winter has decided it’s had enough 🙂

MCAS Calendar
Below is a link to our MCAS testing calendar. As we get closer we will send out some tips and reminders for students and families. It will be important for students who are testing (Grades 3-5) to be in school on time on testing days and have a fully charged chromebook.

Thankfully its not too cold to allow some snow to melt, but also a good day to go build a snowman! Enjoy the remainder of your weekend!
