Dear Tiffany Families,
I hope this email finds you well! I hope that all of our families had a great weekend and that you are enjoying the extra hour of sleep! Just a reminder that we will not have school on Friday, November 11th in observance of Veteran’s Day. Thank you to all of our Tiffany Families members who serve or have served our country!
I would like to give a shout out to our Dual Immersion Teachers, students, parents and all of our families that helped with Día de Los Muertos. Enjoy this video to see some of the moments this week:
Here is the information for the upcoming week:
SSC Meeting on November 8th at 3:30pm
Our next SSC meeting will be on Tuesday. Below are the minutes from the previous meeting as well as the agenda. Our meeting will be held both in the MPR as well as on Teams. The link for the meeting is on the agenda.
Veteran’s Day Presentation
At Tiffany, our community has a large percentage of families who currently serve or who have served our country in the U.S. Armed Forces. We want to celebrate you! We will be putting up a Military Family display up in our hallway here at school that we plan to keep up all year long. If you want a photo of your loved one displayed, please send in a copy of a photo in to school (not the original). We will have an envelope in the office that we will collect them in and will put them up for all to enjoy!
The second opportunity is to send in a digital copy to be included in a video presentation for our students to view. Please send those photos to tiffanyschool@cvesd.org. Photos for this presentation are due by November 10th.
By submitting these photos, you are giving us permission to display them – both digitally and on campus for school use. We are excited to celebrate our military families and we thank you for your service!
Military Connected Families Coffee Chat
On Wednesday, November 9th, we will be hosting a Military Coffee Chat from 8:45am – 9:45am here at Tiffany. Come and meet other military connected families! Our MFLC, Lucy Jasso, will also be in attendance. She is on our campus full time and is able to serve our military connected children and their families in a variety of ways. Her email is lucila.g.jasso@leidos.com if you ever have any questions for her. She is an incredible addition to our school community. We hope to see you there on the 9th!

Free and Reduced Lunch Application Extended until November 18th
I received an update on Friday that the government extended the Free/Reduced Lunch Application for schools. If you have not completed an application for your child/children yet, please take a moment to do so. Although breakfast and lunch is free for all this year, the completed form or application determines important funding allocations for our school which we have previously qualified for.
The Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) application is available online through November 18, 2022. Click on the link below to apply today or call our office at (619) 421-6300 for a paper application. Thank you!

Traffic and Safety Reminders
On Tuesday of last week, we had a medical emergency during morning arrival and it reinforced why following our traffic patterns at all times is incredibly important. Our emergency crews had a bit of a challenge accessing the individual because of the time of day and the heavy traffic. We made it work, with the help of parents, staff and community members who jumped in, which shows our collective care for each other. While emergencies thankfully do not happen often, they do happen. It is important that all of us work together to follow the expectations in the parking lot and keep our community safe. 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.
