Regular Communication Between School
and Home on a Daily Basis
Student
agendas will be sent home on a daily basis. Regular communication between
classroom teachers and parents/guardians is expected in order to facilitate
communication about your child’s progress.
Please check your child’s agenda daily for memos from school. *Read and
Respond and Math homework is sent home Monday to Thursday every week unless
otherwise notified by the classroom teachers.
No Peanut or Peanut by-Products
Allowed at School
Tsi
Snaihne School is an allergen aware school. There are children in attendance
who suffer from severe and life threatening allergies to peanuts and nut products.
Please, carefully read all packaging of food included in your child’s lunch or
snack. We are also asking the school community to be sensitive in the use of
scent, perfume and other related products as there are children with asthma who
react to the use of these products.
No Microwaves Available for the
Heating of School Lunches
In
addition to safety concerns, heating of individual lunches takes valuable
nutritional time. We want to ensure safety and that the entirety of the lunch
break can be used by students for the purpose of eating.
Monthly School Calendar
A
monthly school calendar will be sent home at the beginning of each month to
make sure all members of our school community are aware of special events and
activities. Please check the monthly calendar for our Parent Committee meetings
– everyone is welcome to attend.
All Students Require
In-door
shoes and a school bag – an extra set of clothing for students in Early Years.
Solution
Teams
The Community
Connections Solution team reaches out to and organizes community partnerships that
help accomplish school goals. The
Community Connections team creates a systematic method for identifying and
organizing partnerships, maximizing the ultimate impact on student achievement.
Notable community organizations are CKON (Diane McDonald), Tarbell Management Group (Brandon
Tarbell), and Twin Leaf (Carey
Terrance). They each donated gift certificates to reward student success each
month. Students were recognized for reaching their monthly reading goal,
consistently displaying positive character traits and achieving academic
excellence.
Chief Ryan Jacobs took the time to be a volunteer
listener to help students reach their reading goal.
