Tiger Newsflash 8-21-16



8-21-16

Good morning!

It has been a wonderful week with your children! We are truly blessed to have them back in our classrooms. From our new Kindergarten students, that are going into their third day of elementary school, to our Fifth Grade Students, that are concluding their elementary school experience during this last year at Columbia Elementary School, it is a pleasure to see all of them. It is going to be a fantastic school year!    

Below you will find your weekly updates:


1) Some of my favorite pictures of the week:




2) Back to School Celebration: I want to thank everyone that attended our Back to School Celebration on Tuesday night. It was great to see all of you with your children.

3) Have you completed your Parent Portal Required Paperwork Yet? If Not: You should have already received information regarding our New Parent Process for all of the Required Beginning of The School Year Paperwork. With this information, we have now improved this entire process for you.  We have several reports from parents stating this process is simple and takes a maximum of 5-10 minutes to complete. All parents will now go through our school district website at www.mvcsd.us.  Instructions and information can be found on the OneView Parent Portal letter that was sent to your home and appears by CLICKING ON THIS LINK. If you do not have your student/s’ Student ID Number/Access Code that we sent to you in the mail, feel free to call Mrs.Darcy Miller, Building Secretary, to obtain it at 1-740-393-5975. If you do not have internet access, please also feel free to contact us and we will set up an appointment for you to come in and use our internet to complete your required paperwork.

4) Tiger Up 2016-17: As a part of our Tiger Up Character and Leadership Program this year, I am meeting with all students tomorrow morning (August 22nd) from 9:15-10am to discuss What does it means to "Tiger Up?" We will be speaking about several topics like: staying focused on their goals, working hard, having strong character and leadership skills, having fun, and remembering that they are "The Best and The Brightest." Parents are more than welcome to attend this assembly at 9:15am in our gym. If student have their Tiger Up Shirts from last year, they need to wear them tomorrow.

FYI, I will always invite you to these monthly assemblies to give you an opportunity to reinforce specific topics outside of our school day. I want us to work together as a team to improve the character and leadership skills of our students, which will in turn improve our community.
