School Hours are 8:50-3:20: Students need to report to school by 8:50 every day. They are
marked tardy after that. The school day ends at 3:20.
Student Sign-In: Teachers do attendance as early as 8:50 every day. If you arrive at school after
8:50, please walk your child into the office and sign him/her in (regardless of whether there are
buses still unloading or not).
Late Start Hours (90-minute delays): School begins at 10:20. The day ends at 3:20
Early Dismissal Hours: Students come to school at 8:50 and are dismissed at 1:30
Visitor and Parent-Pickup Parking is in the UPPER lot this year. Visitors are asked not to park

school.
Parent Pick-up: Parent Pick-up will be in the gym again this year. Parents will park in the upper

a staff member at 3:15, allowing parents into the gym. Please do not enter the building until a
staff member opens the doors. Students will be dismissed at 3:20 and will meet their parents in

Absences: If your child will be out of school for any reason (illness, vacation, family

will not suffice. The nurses communicate with the front office concerning absences.
Notes: If your child will be have a consistent schedule the full year (i.e., will be picked up every
Tuesday at dismissal), you can send in a year-long note, eliminating the need to send in a note
each time. If your child’s schedule changes in any way from the normal, please send a note in
with the following information: your child’s name, the teacher’s name and a detailed description
(i.e., will be picked up at 2:00 today). Please note that if anyone other than a child’s parent is
picking them up, a note must be sent by the parent! No student will be released to a non-
guardian without a written note.

Grade 5 Chorus Invitation All Grade 5 students,
You are invited to participate in the grade 5 chorus. Fifth
graders participating in chorus will sing and perform traditional,
multicultural and contemporary music as well as round 2-part and
small group pieces.
Just a few things to think about when making your decision; I
would like to remind everyone that chorus is a full year commitment
and students are expected to complete the entire year once they
join. Chorus is graded on the report card just like any other class.
Attendance is a large part of that grade. There will be a winter
and a spring concert which we expect the students to participate
in.
This year we are trying something new. In order to avoid
having the students miss recess for chorus, I am having chorus at
8:20-8:50 on Thursdays. Students who cannot attend the
Thursday morning chorus can attend chorus Day 1 during recess.
Occasionally, students will be asked to attend both sections of
chorus in order to be fully prepared for the concert. Below is a
form for you to fill out to help us find the best option for your
child and our choral program.
All students who are interested in grade five chorus are
asked to attend an introductory meeting on Friday, September
7, during recess in the TIS lecture hall. Thursday morning
chorus will begin Thursday, September 13.
Thank you,
Ms. Baker Please fill out and return by: September 6, 2012

Dear Grade 4 Students and Parents,
Welcome back to TIS! My name is Mr. Golder-Novick and I will be teaching 4th
grade band this
year. I encourage any 4th
grader who is interested in playing a band instrument to join in the fun!
The instruments offered are: TRUMPET, TROMBONE, BARITONE HORN, ALTO SAX,
TENOR SAX, FLUTE, and PERCUSSION (bells and practice pad). In an effort to help students
and parents better understand the program a 4th
Grade Instrument Night has been scheduled for:
Date/Time: WEDESDAY September 5 at 7:00 p.m.
Place : T.I.S. Cafeteria (upstairs “APR”)
This meeting is designed to provide parents and students with information about the lesson
program, student expectations, and renting band instruments. We will have two different
instrument companies at the meeting. Information for these companies is attached. PLEASE
BRING BOTH PACKETS WITH YOU TO THE INSTRUMENT NIGHT MEETING. By all
means, if you want to get ahead of the game and get an instrument NOW, please go ahead and do
so. The packets for the two instrument companies are our recommendations for purchasing an
instrument. However, you may purchase an instrument wherever you want.
Along with purchasing an instrument, it is also REQUIRED for students to purchase the
“Standard of Excellence Book One” (AKA “the red book”). It is also highly encouraged that you
purchase a music stand. These items are both included in the two information packets for the
instrument companies.
*RIGHT NOW IT IS URGENT FOR STUDENTS TO CHOOSE AN INSTRUMENT. The
students have seen demonstrations on all of the instruments and they need to make a decision.
The sign-up form is on the next page and needs to be turned in NO LATER THAN FRIDAY,
SEPTEMBER 7th
. The students should know what instrument they want to play BEFORE
instrument night. This way, instrument night can be used to decide which music store to
purchase the instrument. The instrument rental packets (attached) are to filled out either before,
during, or immediately following instrument night.
If you are unable to attend the instrument night, you may fill out the packets on your own. There
are also websites for both companies: www.gerrys-music.com and www.musicarts.com. Feel
free also to send me an email with any questions. Thanks so much and I can’t wait to get the
band started!
Sincerely,
Mr. Golder-Novick
Band Sign-Ups 2012-2013
Joining the Instrumental Program is a serious, yearlong commitment. After the trial period
(when most rental contracts expire), if you have a concern about your child continuing in band,
please contact me, and we can discuss your child’s development and reconsider participation in
the program. After this trial period, dropping out is not an option.
Please return the bottom portion of this page on or before FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7. Thank you
very much!

Dear TEPTO Families and Friends,
“The Un-fundraiser” is a stress-free and tax-deductible program that has raised thousands of dollars
for our Tolland elementary schools.
As we all know, budget cuts continue to hurt everyone, especially our schools. Our fundraising efforts
are more important than ever. One of our goals is to continue to provide the wonderful programs that
our students enjoy and the “Un-fundraiser” helps do just that.
Why have we chosen “The Un-fundraiser”?
No door-to-door sales by students
No sales competitions between neighbors and friends
All donations are tax deductible
Donations are eligible for corporate matching funds (check with your employer)
100% of the funds go directly to TEPTO with no fees to outside companies
This school year, TEPTO will spend $58,000 to provide our children with field trips and assemblies,
recess equipment and books; and the staff of Birch Grove and Tolland Intermediate School will receive
classroom and curriculum support.
If you wish to contribute, please clip the coupon below and save a copy of this portion for your tax
