Paraprofessionals Appreciation Week
4/1/2025 3:50 pm
Our paraprofessionals help ensure that all of our Tigers are successful. Their work is invaluable and often invisible.
At Tuscan, we would like to show our gratitude and give our paraprofessionals love and appreciation all week.
Throughout the district, SEPAC (Special Education Parent Advisory Committee) and the various PTAs/HSAs are showing appreciation throughout next week to their respective Paraprofessional teachers.
At Tuscan we are planning on the following:
Tuesday 4/1: Paraprofessional Flower Bouquets
Wednesday 4/2: Students made cards/thank you notes
Thursday 4/3: PTA Gift Cards
Friday 4/4: Breakfast in Teachers' lounge
Your class coordinators will send you more specific information relating to the paras in your Tigers' classrooms, so be on the lookout!

All the details HERE: https://givebutter.com/tuscancasinoAre you READ-y for the book fair?
2/26/2025 4:40 pm
Each class will visit the fair during school on one of the three days, and families can shop the fair on two Family Nights (when many Tiger families will be attending in-person parent-teacher conferences at Tuscan in the evening): March 5 and March 6 from 5:30-8 p.m.
SET UP YOUR CHILD’S EWALLET :
Though cash will be accepted, the easiest way for your Tiger to buy books during the fair is to create an eWallet.
Click this link, and scroll down to Create Account to do so.
These funds allow your Tiger to buy books all by themselves. There’s also an option to “Share the Fair” to ensure every Tuscan Tiger gets a book.
VOLUNTEER:
Do you want to know when your Tiger's class is attending the fair?
We especially need volunteers to help set up and break down the fair.
If you’re interested in volunteering... Email Katie Bassel! Or Lauren Rosen!
