Abigail McCeney, and Tallon Nightwalker. Congratulations to all of our Tavelli

Note – If you are planning on moving over the summer or your child will

facilitate our class placement process for next year. Thank you.
13. Attention future parents
of 3rd or 5th grade students! --Will your child be in third or fifth grade
next fall? Due to the overwhelming
support we received from parents this year, 3rd and 5th
grade teachers are asking parents for money to purchase school supplies next
year for their child, $20 for 3rd graders, and $25
for 5th graders. This money will
cover all of the supplies needed for the 2008-2009 school year!
Each grade level has an account that the money will
be deposited into. Parents will need
to make checks out to Tavelli and the funds will be deposited into the
proper account. Send a check with your
child to school in an envelope and their teacher will send it to the office to
be deposited into either the 3rd or 5th grade
account. Please make sure your child’s
name and what grade level they will be in next year is on the envelope. For
parents who would rather wait until school starts: Simply send a check the
first day of school. Of course, cash is
also accepted. A note will be sent home reassuring you that we have received
your check. Thank you from your 3rd and 5th grade
teachers!
1. May PTO meeting --Make tracks to the media
center on Tuesday, May 6 at 7:00 p.m. Special guests are the 5th
