Good Morning Tate Families,

Please see the attached dress up schedule for our Homecoming Spirit Week September 15-19.

The Homecoming Parade is scheduled for 9/17 at 6:00. Tate Elementary will have a float this year, so come out and support Dragon Nation if you can.

A huge shoutout to our PTO parents, community volunteers, grandparents, and students for an awesome day at the book fair. We can't wait to see our parents on Tuesday, September 9 at 4:00 for more shopping before our Title I meeting.

Ms. Faucett's class filled their reward jar by having good behavior and receiving compliments in the hallway, so they earned a popsicle party.

Good Morning Tate Families,

We hope you are excited about our first Title I Night of the year. We can't wait to see you.

We are so excited about the overwhelming response we have received for Grandparents' Lunch on Friday, September 5th. Due to the large number of confirmed visitors, please plan to arrive 30 minutes prior to your grandchild's scheduled lunch time to check in.

We are operating on the alternate lunch schedule that was sent home with students last week.

Be on the lookout for the form being sent home this afternoon and make sure all visitors are prepared to present their identification at check in.

We look forward to seeing everyone Friday!

Nurse Libby always goes above and beyond to make us remember her trainings. Today she did not disappoint. She takes her job and the health of her staff and her students very seriously, we are lucky to have her as our hero!
