Dear Tiffany Families,
I hope this email finds you well on this October weekend. We have so many exciting events happening here at Tiffany! This week’s message is full of information regarding what to expect in the upcoming weeks. Before we do that, I would like to give a shoutout to our families and students for being awarded the Most Improved Attendance in CVESD for the month of September! Four teachers and I accepted this award on behalf of our school last Wednesday at the CVESD Board Meeting – let’s do it again, Tigers!
Red Ribbon Week
On Tuesday, several of our local law enforcement agencies will be on campus in the morning for a special assembly presentation for our students. When you see them on campus, I wanted our community to be aware of why they are there.
Friday’s Costume Parade will begin at 9am out on our grass field located on the main playground. Here are the guidelines for our students participating:
- Students should arrive in costumes
- Students need to wear regular clothes underneath their costume so that they can change out of their costume after the parade (bathrooms cannot be used for changing).
- Bring a bag to store your costume after the parade. If a family member is at the parade, they can take the costume home with them.
- No costumes that represent horror films, violent or gory. No weapons.
- Parents and community are welcome. Younger siblings, who are not elementary age yet, can join in with school age sibling.
- Parade will go counterclockwise around track and families can view from the grass area around the perimeter.
We will have an alternate option in the Library if a student is not participating. Please communicate with your classroom teacher if you would like your child/children to be in the library during the parade.
Thank you to our PTA for making this such an amazing week for our students!

I am so excited to have this opportunity for our parents here at Tiffany! Chelsea Gould is an Educational Psychologist and CVESD is very fortunate that she is a part of our team. She brings a wealth of knowledge around supporting behavior for our children. You won’t want to miss this! Join me on Thursday from 5:30-7pm virtually to learn more about how we can support our children. The link is below:

Tiffany Tiger Trek – Postponed Until Spring
Our PTA has postponed the Tiger Trek until Quarter 3, so it will no longer be taking place on November 9th. If you signed up to volunteer, we will still need you! Once we have finalized the date, we will notify the community. Thank you for your understanding.
Lost and Found Cart
Is your child missing a jacket, water bottle or sweatshirt, etc., check out our lost and found! It is overflowing!! All items not picked up by 10/26 will be donated to a local shelter. Thank you.
Traffic and Safety
At arrival and dismissal each day we have volunteers, comprised of both staff and parents, that can be identified with the bright neon yellow vests. Our collective goal is to help keep our parking lot safe. Friendly paper reminders are also being placed on windshields of cars left unattended on red and yellow curbs. Thank you for following the expectations below:
- Red Curbs – “as required under California Vehicle Code Section 21458(a)(1), a curb painted red shall indicate no stopping, standing, or parking whether the vehicle is attended or unattended.”
- Yellow curbs are for loading and unloading only – cars should not be parked and left unattended. If you are on a yellow curb, you should be in your vehicle to move as the traffic is moving.
- The left lane in the parking lot is for traffic to move through. Parking/stopping in the left lane blocks cars from being able to exit. Students should not exit or enter vehicles that are in the left lane.
- Use crosswalks for crossing the street and parking lot. When dropping students off, please be sure that they exit the vehicle on the right so that they get out directly onto the sidewalk closest to the school building.
- Follow traffic patterns and do not double park along parking spaces.
If you are interested in volunteering, please email me at crystal.sutton@cvesd.org.
Here’s to a great week!
Take Care,
Dr. Sutton
