Dismissal Safety

We need your help to keep end-of-day pick-up safe and moving smoothly. Please help us keep everyone safe:

Students need to be able to enter vehicles independently from the curbside whenever possible.
Please remain in your vehicle during loading.
If your child needs help with buckling or organizing belongings, pull forward and move into a parking space after loading so other cars can continue through the line.
Follow staff directions and keep the loading lane moving.

Our goal is a dismissal that is calm, efficient, and most importantly safe for every child. Thank you for working with us to make pick-up a smooth part of the day.

Tiger Spotlight

This week’s spotlight shines on one incredible member of our Tiger Team.

This week we’re shining the spotlight on Tillie the Tiger, mascot

Here’s a peek into the life, favorites, and fun facts of our favorite striped school celebrity.

If they could only eat one food forever, it would be: Goldfish crackers… but only the orange ones
Their first-ever concert? The Wiggles Reunion Tour.
Right now they’re into: Kindness challenges, high-fives in the hallway, and seeing who can read just one more chapter.
A hidden talent you might not guess? Can recognize students just by their high-five style
If they weren’t teaching, you’d probably find them working as a: National park ranger — reminding everyone to explore, be brave, and leave things better than they found them.
Their day instantly brightens with: Students helping each other without being asked and surprise drawings delivered to the office.
Favorite place in Vermont (or beyond): Any hiking trail with crunchy leaves, big views, and room for a celebratory tiger roar.
A song they’ll never skip is: “Roar” by Katy Perry
And a fun fact about them? Tillie keeps a stash of invisible confetti for celebrations

ROAR Reminder

A Blizzard of Kindness

A Kindness Blizzard has hit our school! Snowflakes are filling the bulletin board as students are recognized for Respect, On Task, Always Safe, and Responsibility. From helping classmates to using kind words, our Tigers are proving that small actions make a big impact.

Tigertastic Tips

From “Sportsball” to Teamwork

I’ll be honest, I don’t really follow sportsball. Luckily, Mr. Bonneau more than makes up for it with his love of football and the Cowboys ...now that's a true lesson in loyalty, because sticking with your team through wins and (mostly) losses says a lot about commitment!

With the Super Bowl this weekend (whether you watch for the game, the commercials, the halftime show, or just the snacks), it’s a great reminder that sports teach kids so much more than scores. Being part of a team means working toward a common goal, playing different roles, encouraging one another, and learning how to handle both victories and loses.

Here are a few easy ways to practice “team skills” at home:

Create a family team goal: cook together, clean a space, plan a game night
Talk about roles: leader, helper, encourager, and switch them up
Notice effort and perseverance, not just winning
Practice encouraging words like “Nice try!” or “Good teamwork!”
Play a cooperative game or backyard challenge where everyone works together
Reflect together: How did we help each other? What went well?
Talk about big feelings and bouncing back when things don’t go your way

Teamwork isn’t just for the field — our Tigers practice it everywhere!
