Tiffany Elementary School – Home of the Tigers

Dear Tiffany Families,

I hope this email finds you all well on this first weekend of November and that your family is adjusting to the time change! Take advantage of this change in time to adjust morning routines – take advantage of our morning track program, breakfast and an empty parking lot when you come early!

Here is the information for the week:

Dia de Los Muertos Celebration at Tiffany

Annual Veteran’s Day Family Picnic on Friday

We are excited to host our families again this year for the annual Veteran’s Day Family Picnic here at Tiffany at lunch on Friday. The schedule will be as follows:

1st and 2nd Grade: 11:30-12:15
TK and TK/K (307): 11:45-12:30
3rd and 4th: 12:00-12:45

Please bring your own picnic lunch, blanket, chairs, etc. and join your students for this fun event! All guests will sign in at the office and then make their way to the lunch area. TK and Kinder will be on the Kinder playground and all other students will be on the main playground. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Federal Survey Cards Going Home This Week

Yellow Federal Survey Cards will be sent home in student backpacks this week. Please be sure to return the form to your child’s teacher, signed and dated and completed if applicable. If not applicable to you, please mark not applicable and sign and date it and return it.

The most important information on the card is the physical work address (including the street number and zip code). Post Office Boxes cannot be accepted. It is very important that we have a form for every child.

Federal Survey Cards are not related to your personal taxes in any way. Federal property (residential and/or commercial) is not subject to State taxes. It is State taxes that fund our schools. The District is able to recover this lost Federal tax money through the Federal Survey forms. It is very important that we receive a completed Federal Survey Card for each child, especially those children whose parents are in the military/federal government, live in military housing, and/or work at a government facility (North Island, Balboa Naval Hospital, etc.).

Please take the time to sign and date (and complete if applicable) and return these forms immediately for the benefit of the students of Tiffany School. If you do not want to fill out the form or it is not applicable to you, please write that on the form, sign + date it and return it to your child’s teacher. We appreciate your cooperation.

Smart Watches and Cell Phone Use at School

Just a friendly reminder of our cell phone and smart watch policy here at Tiffany. Here is the language from our handbook:

Cell phones may be brought to school but must be kept OFF in the student’s backpack or a safe location. Any cell phone used by a student during school hours will be confiscated and kept in the office until claimed by a parent only. Smartwatches should be set to “Schooltime” or messaging and notification settings should be disabled during school hours. If used during school time becomes a concern, the student will be asked to keep the watch at home. Portable video game consoles are not allowed on campus. These items will be confiscated and kept in the office until claimed by a parent only. The school is not responsible for the loss of cell phones or other electronic devices brought to school.

CVESD Canned Food Drive Through Friday!

Reminder – Parking in Bus Loading/Unloading Area

We need your help with parking in the bus loading zone. Many of our families are parking here, especially during pick up. It is blocking each bus from being able to park, creating a safety hazard for students. There are signs posted showing that it is a bus loading zone from 7am-4pm. Please help us by finding alternate places to park when picking up your students. Thank you for your help!

Traffic Safety

Safety is of utmost importance to us here at Tiffany. We have had several cars drive the wrong way into the backside of the parking lot as well as try to exit through the entrance. Please make sure to follow the traffic patterns so that everyone, including our students, are safe. Here are some friendly reminders for our parking lot:

Park cars in marked stalls or on the street
- Cars should not be left double parked and blocking cars parked in spaces
- Cars are not to be parked in handicap loading areas
- Cars without handicap placards are not allowed to park in handicap spaces
Permits are required to park on the street West of campus
No parking on RED curbs
- Do not leave your car unattended at red curbs.
Use crosswalks
Follow the traffic patterns within the parking lot
Allow time for drop off and pick up
- Gates open at 8:10 for breakfast and track. The lot is empty at that time!
Keep traffic moving

Our parking lot is one of the largest in the school district. If we all work together to follow the expectations, the traffic will flow smoothly, and everyone will get to their destination safely. Thank you for your cooperation.
