TISA Facilities Meeting: Tuesday, September 27, 4pm
Your opinion is valued! Please respond to the poll questions if you haven't yet by Monday, Sept. 26.
The next Facilities Committee Meeting will be next Tuesday, September 27 at 4pm at the Manzaneres campus with childcare provided until 5:30. Please join/chime in if you can.

Here are the questions that the committee would like to poll parents about in regards to next year's campus:

1. If we can stay at Manzaneres another year and buy more time for funding and construction would you mind waiting a year to move onto the permanent campus?

2. If the Manzaneres campus is not an option, would you be willing to move to another location (if it exists) or would you want to move to the permanent campus on Toalne by Fall of 2017 instead, even if your student may be in portable classrooms? (see explanation below)

3. Would you like to move to the permanent campus on Toalne by Fall of 2017 no matter what the construction of the facilities?

Pizza day kick-off: Thursday, Sept 29 (Please remember to pack a snack, even if your child ordered pizza.)
Please note: to ease the pain of last-minute headaches, the pizza money in kindergarten will be due the week BEFORE.  I will do my best to post a monthly reminder for you. I recommend prepaying for a few months ahead (or for the whole year, if you can think/budget that far!) Kinder will be accepting pizza money ONLY in the designated envelope beginning the week before through TUESDAY morning. Believe me, this is in everyone's best interest! It will save teachers and children many a crocodile tear to follow the guidelines.

Tracey (Timothy's mom) had a brilliant idea of making the children's artwork into cards. I would love any leads on that!
