Parent Information

 

Hello Tolman Families,

Below are a few announcements and information items for you.

Parent Surveys:

Tolman Elementary parent/guardian surveys are now available in your myDSD parent portal. To access these surveys, go to the Davis School District homepage and click on the myDSD logo. Sign in with your username and password. A notice will appear just below your student's name saying that you have surveys available. Click that box, complete the survey, and submit. Repeat for all available surveys. Questions can be directed to Peter Vanderlinden at 801-402-5289. We value your feedback! Please complete your surveys by March 5, 2021.

 

Tolman Spirit Days:

Tolman Elementary Spirit Days this school year are every Thursday.  Thursdays are great days to wear Tolman t-shirts and show school spirit.

Transition Fair:

The school district’s Transition Fair will be held for all students with disabilities in grades 5-12 on March 4th.  This is a free event for Davis School District students and families.  For more information, click here.

End of Year Testing:

As we finish up third term, we will begin our end-of-year state assessments when we come back from Spring Break.  This is a reminder that state testing opt-out forms are annual.  If needed, updated forms for this are available in the front office.

COVID-19 School Updates and Guidelines: 

One thing this year has taught us is that change is constant.  With all of the new policies this year it can sometimes be hard to keep up on them.  The school district website has a COVID-19 webpage with access to the district Dashboard, the State of Utah School COVID manual, and district policies regarding COVID-19.  To access that information, please click here.

Audible is offering many free audio books for our students during this time. This is a great resourse that you can share with your students. There is no log in, they don't ask for any information. Just go to the website below and your students can start listening. I tried it out this morning. Here is the original message from Audible. 

 

With all of us experiencing varying degrees of social distancing and school closures, we have created something that we hope makes our customers’ lives a little easier. At stories.audible.com, you will find hundreds of our titles available completely free. The collection has been handpicked by our editors and is a mix of stories to entertain, engage, and inform young people, ages 0–18.

These stories offer a screen-free option that we hope may help break up the day for families with students home from school.

There are selections for our listeners in English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese and Italian.

To access the free titles, just visit stories.audible.com from any web browser.

The experience is completely free – no log-ins, credit cards, or passwords required. Just click, stream and listen.

We wish you and your loved ones good health, and we hope that listening to a good story will offer some respite during these unsettling times.

All of us at Audible

BUS LOOP:  We are VERY concerned about the safety of our students aways...but we are having recurring problems in the west bus zone.  A REMINDER THAT THE BUS LOOP ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING IS FOR BUSES ONLY.  THIS IS NOT A PICKUP AREA.  PLEASE DO NOT DIRECT YOU STUDENT TO RUN ACROSS THE BUS AREA TO ACCESS THEIR CARS.  THE BUSES ARE TALL AND ABILITY TO SEE A SMALL CHILD WHO MIGHT BE RUNNING NEXT TO THE BUS IS VERY HARD.

TOLMAN "HOUSES"

Tolman Elementary is divided into four different "houses".  These four groups meet together once a month to have different activities.

  The “Houses” are:
1.       Black – Altruismo:  unselfish regard for or devotion to the welfare of others
2.       Red – Amistade:  Spanish, meaning friendship
3.       Green – Isibindi:  Zulu, it’s first meaning is ‘courage’ or ‘boldness’
4.       Blue – Reveur:  French, meaning dreamer

We are having “House” activities once a month.  These activities are fun and teach a social skill.  Ask your child about their “House” and the fun activities. 

Please encourage your students to wear their "house shirt" on the Second Friday of each month!  If they don't have a "house shirt", they can  wear their "house" color.
