Howdy, Tiger Families! 

We had a great week of learning for both our students and staff! Our staff had a productive and energizing professional development day on Friday, filled with collaboration and planning to continue strengthening teaching and learning for our students. As we head into a well-earned three-day weekend, we hope our families enjoy the time to rest, recharge, and spend time together. Please remember there will be no school on Monday, 2/16/26,  in observance of Presidents’ Day. Hope your weekend is filled with LOVE! Happy Valentine's Day!

🐯 This week’s tip: Practice Being a Good Friend! 

Friendship skills are learned, and home is a great place to practice them. Talk with your child about what it means to be a good friend—listening when others speak, taking turns, showing respect, and including others. You can role-play common situations, such as how to invite someone to join a game, how to handle disagreements, or what to do if feelings are hurt. Encourage your child to use kind words and think about how their actions affect others. These conversations help children build empathy, strengthen relationships, and feel more confident navigating friendships at school.
