The Tiger Update

a PTA/PAWS publication

We had a GREAT day running the Tiger Trot! All students were able to participate in the run during their specials time. Thank you to ALL the volunteers who helped make it a wonderful day for our Teasley Tigers. We have not reached our goal of $35,000 yet, but there is still time to get those pledges in. Be sure to ask family and friends over the holiday break. The last day to turn in pledges is November 30. Incentive prizes were passed out today but students who continue to meet their pledge goals will receive prizes. Way to go Tigers!

The WINTERFEST vendor deadline is quickly approaching (11/18 at midnight). Be apart of the fun at the Teasley WINTERFEST Tree Lighting on December 3. Use the link below for info and to signup as a festival VENDOR. We are looking for people who sell handmade goods, fashion and jewelry, education and holiday items. Look forward to you joining us!!! www.musicatteasley.com/winterfest

During this season of giving thanks, it is our tradition to collect a love offering to give to the custodial, cafeteria and front office staff of Teasley for the holidays. Please consider giving a gift to these support staff members who work hard serving, cleaning and looking after our kids to support the wonderful learning environment at Teasley. You can donate by bringing cash or checks to the PTA box or using this PayPal link- http://www.teasleytigers.com/love-offering. Your generous donation will be marked as a token of appreciation for all that they do.

Shopping on Amazon this holiday season? Did you know if you use the Amazon link on the teasleytiger.com homepage, a portion of your sale goes to the school?! Bookmark the link in your browser as you shop the Black Friday and holiday sales.

Please tell all your friends and neighbors that live in the Teasley school district that our next Prospective Parent Tour is Monday, December 12th at 8:15am. We would love to have you join us!

The Teasley PTA/Paws wishes all of our families a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Grading Scale

The grading scale for 4th grade and beyond is as follows:

(A) 90-100

(B) 80-89

(D) 70-73

(F) 69 and below

Please remember to check ParentVUE throughout the week, for updated grades, comments, missing assignments, etc. In the past, your child has been assessed on a standards based report card. In fourth grade, students receive percentages on assignments. These scores are averaged to determine your child's grades. Please be aware there there is no correlation between the standards based report card and the traditional scale. Non-academic factors affect grades, such as participation, attendance, late work, ability to follow and decipher directions, precision to detail, etc. The grades that students receive, starting in 4th grade, will depend upon the degree to which they meet the communicated expectations.

Behavior Colors

In my class, students have the opportunity to move their clips up and down through out the day. All students start on Green, and I consider this positive behavior. Anything green and above, is great behavior and students are rewarded with megabucks which they can use to purchase certain cards. These cards include fun extra activities like being able to take your shoes off in class. Anything below a green is not encouraged, as it means students are needing to be redirected more then once throughout the day. The colors are in the following order.

Pink - Super Student

Purple - Great Job

Blue - Good Choices

Green - Ready to Learn (Students start here)

Yellow - Think About It

Orange - Teacher's Choice

Red - Parent Contact
