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!

Are you READ-y for the book fair?

2/26/2025 4:40 pm

The Tuscan Book Fair is right around the corner! The fair will be held from Wednesday, March 5 - Friday, March 7.  
 

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? 

Look no further

 

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
