🐯🧡 IMPORTANT REMINDERS FOR OUR TARTESSO FAMILIES! 🖤🐯
Dear Tartesso Families,
We are reaching out to ask for your continued support in reinforcing a few important school expectations with your students.
Please take a moment to review the attached flyer and have a conversation with your student about:
📱 Cell Phones: Cell phones must remain TURNED OFF and IN BACKPACKS throughout the school day, in accordance with our school policy and Arizona State Law. Students that have their phones out will get their card marked and phone will be put in the office till the end of the day.
🍎 Outside Food: Food brought by parents is for THEIR OWN student only and may not be shared. Students receiving outside food must eat in a designated area separate from other students for safety reasons.
🚻 Bathroom Use & School Property: We have experienced an increase in damage to our bathrooms and school facilities. Please remind your student to use these spaces appropriately and respectfully. We will be monitoring these areas more closely, and families may be held responsible for damages caused by their students.
🧡 We need your partnership!
Our goal is not simply to enforce rules, but to teach responsibility, respect, and accountability while providing a safe and positive learning environment for every student.
We truly appreciate the families who continue to support our school and reinforce these expectations at home. Working together makes a difference!
Thank you for helping us keep Tartesso a place where all Tigers can learn, grow, and succeed! 🐯🧡🖤

🐯 Tiger Day Announcement! 🐯
Happy Tiger Day! We are so excited to celebrate with our students and staff this Friday.
To help keep our celebration running smoothly and safely for everyone, we strongly encourage parents to allow students to remain on campus until the end of the regular school day.
If you must pick up your student early, please plan ahead and allow extra time for sign-out, as office traffic and pick-up lines will be heavier than usual.

🍞❤️ TARTESSO'S KING ARTHUR BAKE FOR GOOD EVENT IS HERE! ❤️🍞
🍞❤️ Let's Bake & Give Back! ❤️🍞
Dear Tartesso Middle School Families,
We are so excited to announce that today is our King Arthur Bake for Good event! This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about baking, spend quality time with their families, and experience the joy of giving back to others.
Today, students will participate in a special virtual baking demonstration led by King Arthur Baking instructors. At the end of the school day, students will receive their very own bread-making kits to take home!
Here's how families can participate:
🥖 Use the bread-making kit to bake two loaves of bread together as a family.
🏡 Keep one loaf to enjoy with your family!
❤️ Return the second loaf to school so we can donate it and share with members of our community.
The best part? We get to learn, bake, and give back together!
Our goal is to reach as many families as possible and help our students understand that even a small act of kindness can make a big difference in someone's life.
Thank you for supporting TMS Student Council and helping us make this event meaningful for our students, families, and community. We can't wait to see what our Tartesso families bake!
With gratitude,
Tartesso Student Council 🍞❤️

🐅 Behavior Cards & Tiger Day: Staying Connected for Student Success!
Dear TMS Families,
At our school, we believe that strong collaboration between home and school is the foundation for every student's success. To help keep us all on the same page, your child has a Behavior Card—one of the most important tools we use to support their growth!
Why the Behavior Card Matters:
Monthly Behavior Tracking: It provides a clear snapshot of how your child is doing in school each month, highlighting their strengths and areas for growth.
Important Updates: It contains key information about upcoming school events, deadlines, and announcements.
Ticket to Tiger Day! 🎟️ Good behavior earns students their ticket into Tiger Day, our favorite monthly celebration of hard work and positive choices!
How You Can Help at Home:
Review & Discuss: Please check your child’s card regularly with them to celebrate positive behavior and encourage consistent choices.
Support & Encourage: Remind your child how their daily habits keep their card in great shape so they don't miss out on the Tiger Day festivities!
Thank you for partnering with us to make this school year safe, positive, and successful for every Tiger. If you have any questions about your child's behavior card, please reach out to their classroom teacher.
Go Tigers! 🐾

Hello Tartesso Families!
Our King Arthur Bake for Good event is quickly approaching, and we are excited to share this fun and meaningful experience with our students and families!
On Thursday, November 5th, students will receive their very own bread-making kits to take home. The kits will include the supplies and instructions needed to guide them through the bread-making activity.
We encourage families to participate and enjoy this opportunity together! Once you have baked your bread, please keep one loaf for your family to enjoy and send the other loaf back to school to be donated to those in need. What a wonderful way to learn a new skill, spend time together, and experience the joy of giving back to our community!
This event is about more than just baking bread; it's an opportunity for our students to experience the importance of kindness, generosity, and making a difference in the lives of others.
Please take a moment to review the information being sent home with your student so you have all the details needed to participate.
Watch the Demonstration: You can watch a video of the bread lesson here. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/learn/bakeforgood
