MS track begins on March 23rd. Students who are interested in participating this season, need to have all their paperwork completed in Big Teams (and a current physical) before they will be allowed to attend practices. All athletes need to meet in Ms. Lopez’s classroom (MHS Room 273) on the first day of practice. Please be prepared to practice outside everyday regardless of the weather (wear layers, bring water, running shoes, snacks, etc). If you have any questions, please contact Sara López, slopez@telluride.k12.co.us.

Our 5th and 6th graders loved the Math Olympiad! Our 6th graders placed 2nd place overall and our 5th graders placed 3rd place overall. 6th Grader Rye Smith placed first for 6th grade individual and was tied for the overall high as well. Go Math! 

It’s hard to believe 3rd quarter is almost over! Beginning Monday, March 30, students will have the opportunity to demonstrate their learning on the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) assessments. These statewide tests, required by state and federal law, measure achievement of grade-level expectations based on the Colorado Academic Standards.

At TIS, we use assessment data to identify strengths and areas for growth, guiding instruction to support meaningful progress for all students.

Testing will begin March 30 and continue after Spring Break for most students. If a student is absent on a testing day, they will be rescheduled to complete their missed test as soon as possible.

Please remind your child not to stress, but just to do their best so they can demonstrate to the world how great they are! Reach out to principal Zoe Gillett or your child's teacher if you have any questions. TIS students rock!

Hello families,

 

In partnership with your child's school, Tri-County Health Network is pleased to offer Skippy, a school-based dental program providing comprehensive oral healthcare to your child at no out of pocket cost to you. Through Skippy we bring dental care to your children so they can spend more time in the classroom and less time traveling to a dentist!

This convenient dental visit takes about 30-45 minutes and gets your child back in the classroom quickly.

We will be moving to ALMA for our Student Information System. All Registration and scheduling for next year will take place in PowerSchool and we will transition to ALMA on August 1st. We believe ALMA will improve the user experience for all as well as provide the level of security needed to protect data.

As part of monitoring our Ends Policy goal of fostering a safe and healthy community through “consistent student and staff culture across buildings which supports achieving our ends”, we will once again have students in grades 3-12, staff, and parents complete the School Climate Assessment Instruments (SCAI) developed and administered by the Alliance for the Study of School Climate (ASSC) in the month of March. The SCAI surveys, which are scientifically developed and third-party administered and analyzed, are rated as one of the most effective school climate tools. Below are the links to the parent survey in both English and Spanish. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to complete the survey, as it provides valuable data on areas of strength and improvement. This survey will be open through the month of March.
