‘Tigers Roar for 804!’

Taft Tigers are: Respectful, Responsible, Safe

TIME TO GIVE THANKS!

November is a month where an important holiday exists – Thanksgiving. All of us at Taft are very grateful and thankful to work in an environment where every child matters and who have parents that care and are involved with their child’s education. Thank you for being supportive and for helping to make a difference in the lives of some very special youngsters. Lastly, take time to thank someone for the hard work that they do to make this world a better place. Happy Thanksgiving!

NEW PLAYGROUND

By November 5th, our new playground should be open and ready for use. We are thankful to both our district office and to our P.T.A. who worked together to ensure that our children have a safe and productive playground.

DROP OFF & PICK UP

Please consider using the back drive through to drop off and pick up your child. It is so much safer to do so. You can access the drive through by driving on Sunflower and entering the parking lot of the church located directly behind us.

DISCIPLINE

Continue to review with your child expected positive behaviors at school. When students are attending and engaged in their classroom, they learn so much more.

PTA NEWS

PTA meetings will usually be held on the first Thursday of each month. Child care will be provided.
