Happy Summer Break – Office Hours Impacted

Dear Tiffany Families,

I hope this message finds you well on the first official day of Summer Break!  I know that some of our families were planning to come by to pick up report cards or other items that they may need help with from the office.  Unfortunately, due to the construction, our campus and office will not be accessible on Tuesday, June 10th, Wednesday, June 11th and Thursday, June 12th.  While we will have access to email, phones will not be answered as we have to work from a different location.  If all goes well, we will reopen the office on Friday, June 13th .  If this is unable to happen, we will notify our community.

The office team will be out on Summer Break from Wednesday, June 18th through July 10th.  Any messages or emails sent during that time will be responded to in the order they were received.

Thank you again for an incredible school year and we will see everyone in July!

Take Care,

Dr. Sutton

Weekly Message for the Week of May 12th

Dear Tiffany Families,

I hope this email finds you all well on this beautiful May weekend!  Thank you for an incredible week for Staff Appreciation Week and spoiling our staff with so much love!

Here is the information for the week:

Sixth Graders Leaving for Camp on Monday and Returning on Friday

Our Sixth Graders will be leaving for Camp on Monday morning – please plan accordingly for parking to be impacted!  They typically arrive back to school before dismissal on Friday, but just in case, please allow extra time.

Buy One Get One Book Fair on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday!

Our PTA Scholastic Buy One Get One Free Book Fair is happening on our campus this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.  Students will be visiting with their classrooms during those three days and their classroom teacher will share their time with their classes.  An after school shopping event will take place after school on Wednesday from 3:00-4:00pm.

We are looking for volunteers to help make our book fair a success – CLICK HERE to sign up!

Get ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way. Even better news? At our school’s upcoming Fair, for every book they purchase, your eager readers can choose another book for FREE! I love this buy-one-get-one promotion because it means students can take home extra reading. Choosing their own books empowers kids and inspires them on their journey to becoming lifelong readers.

Here’s what you need to know about the big event, which will take place:

• Tuesday, May 13 to Thursday, May 15

• Multi-Purpose Room (MPR)

Special Family Shopping Day: Wednesday, May 14, 2025, from 3:00pm – 4pm

Before the Fair, make sure to set up eWallet, your child’s digital payment account. Say goodbye to cash and hello to worry-free, cash-free purchases—and anyone can contribute! Share your child’s eWallet so friends and family can add funds and give them more books to enjoy. (If you have more than one child, you’ll need to create an eWallet for each one.)

Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/burtonctiffanyelemsch

When you fund an eWallet, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a giving initiative called Share the Fair™. Your contributions directly support our students who need help buying books from the Fair. Many of us still remember the rush of finding the perfect book at a Scholastic Book Fair. I hope you’ll join your child at our school’s Fair and share a reading experience they’ll remember forever.

Happy reading!

*Titles vary by Book Fair. All items at your Book Fair are available while supplies last. All free items must be of equal or lesser value than the purchased items.

We also had a great movie night hosted by PTA, Masonic Awards, the Second Grade Dance Performance and the 4th Grade Gold Rush Day!

I spoke to many families over the last few days and they all shared how wonderful it is to have so many great events here for our community.  Thank you to all who make it happen!  We have a very special school here at Tiffany.

Here is the information for the week:

Multicultural Fair – This Wednesday from 9-11:30am

State and Local Testing Calendar for Tiffany

Beginning in May, our student will be participating in both state and local testing.  Please see the schedule below for all of the grade levels and who is testing when.

Attendance Update at Tiffany – Revised 🙂

Our attendance for the month of March 2025 was a bit elevated over last year’s at the same time. Just a reminder that our gates open for breakfast and the track at 8:10am – we encourage our families to take advantage of this opportunity, as you beat the parking lot rush!  School starts promptly at 8:45am and students should be in line by 8:40am.

If a student is sick with a fever, bowel issues, committing, COVID, flu, etc., they should not attend school.  Also keep in mind that students who have a 100+ degree temperature may not come to school and can return after they have been fever free for 24 hours without medication.

If your child is absent, please reach out to us as soon as possible so that we can clear it.  It is best to clear the absence within one week to avoid receiving truancy letters.  It is very challenging to go back to prior months, as our attendance records have already been submitted to the district.  

Here are tips for attendance to know what is excused and what is not:

  • Please call the office to report any absences and the reason for the absence.
    • Excused Absences: illness, doctor appointments for the student, military engagements (ex. ceremony, return from deployment), death of an immediate family member, etc.
    • Unexcused Absences:  appointments for other family members, out of town, vacations, etc.
    • Independent Study:  If you know ahead that your child might need to miss school (ex. family reunion), please contact your child’s teacher and our office to set up an independent study contract.  Independent Study contracts are available for 3 or more days, but not more than 14 cumulative days in a school year.  Independent Study Contracts should be requested at least one week in advance.
    • Tardy:  Students are considered tardy if they are not in class by 8:45am.
    • COVID absences are cleared with a POSITIVE test result.  Current guidelines for COVID:
      • Students who are symptomatic and test positive should stay home when symptoms appear. They may return to school when they are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications AND other non-fever symptoms are mild and improving.
      • If they test positive and are asymptomatic, they may continue to attend school. All students who test positive should wear a mask indoors through day 10 (day zero is date of symptom onset or date of positive test collection).

If you have questions, please reach out to me at crystal.sutton@cvesd.org.  Similarly, your teacher’s email configuration is comparative to mine, in most cases: firstname.lastname@cvesd.org.  A list of our staff and their email addresses can be found by clicking HERE.

You can also email our attendance clerk at deborah.chapman@cvesd.org.

If your child is absent, please reach out to us as soon as possible so that we can clear it.  It is best to clear the absence within one week to avoid receiving truancy letters.  It is very challenging to go back to prior months, as our attendance records have already been submitted to the district.  

Here are tips for attendance to know what is excused and what is not:

  • Please call the office to report any absences and the reason for the absence.
    • Excused Absences: illness, doctor appointments for the student, military engagements (ex. ceremony, return from deployment), death of an immediate family member, etc.
    • Unexcused Absences:  appointments for other family members, out of town, vacations, etc.
    • Independent Study:  If you know ahead that your child might need to miss school (ex. family reunion), please contact your child’s teacher and our office to set up an independent study contract.  Independent Study contracts are available for 3 or more days, but not more than 14 cumulative days in a school year.  Independent Study Contracts should be requested at least one week in advance.
    • Tardy:  Students are considered tardy if they are not in class by 8:45am.
    • COVID absences are cleared with a POSITIVE test result.  Current guidelines for COVID:
      • Students who are symptomatic and test positive should stay home when symptoms appear. They may return to school when they are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications AND other non-fever symptoms are mild and improving.
      • If they test positive and are asymptomatic, they may continue to attend school. All students who test positive should wear a mask indoors through day 10 (day zero is date of symptom onset or date of positive test collection).

If you have questions, please reach out to me at crystal.sutton@cvesd.org.  Similarly, your teacher’s email configuration is comparative to mine, in most cases: firstname.lastname@cvesd.org.  A list of our staff and their email addresses can be found by clicking HERE.

Parking Lot Safety Reminders

I know this message is repetitive, but parking lot safety continues to be a top priority here at Tiffany.  CVPD continues to make random visits to ticket cars in our parking lot and neighborhood.  We have seen improvements in our parking lot at times, let’s continue to make it safe for all of our students!

In case you missed that post from January 16th, please take a moment to read over it by clicking HERE.  If we all work together to follow the expectations, we will create a safer environment for our students and families in the parking lot.  Thank you for your support.

New Student Registration for 2025/26 Open Now!

The Chula Vista Elementary School District’s (CVESD) online enrollment for the 2025-26 school year is now open.

To register for transitional kindergarten, your child’s birthdate must be between 09/02/20 through 09/01/2021. To register for kindergarten, your child’s birthday must be between 09/02/19 through 09/01/20.

New this year:

The Student Placement Department will now manage zone transfers. Priority will be given to students residing within designated attendance areas, with additional consideration given to factors such as classroom capacity, attendance records, and behavior history. Due to continued growth, no new transfers will be approved for eastern schools. No action is needed if your child stays at their neighborhood school.

CVESD is California’s largest TK-6 district, offering dual language programs, visual and performing arts, preschool programs, special education services, before and after-school programs, and so much more!

Here’s to a great week!

Take Care,
Dr. Sutton
