It is National School Administrative Professionals day! They do so much of the work behind the scenes that makes each and every day run smoothly and are always willing to lend a helping hand and offer a smile! If you see them, make sure you let them know how thankful you are for all they do for our students, staff and community!

1st grade music students have been learning about sounds that are higher vs lower and they know that the smaller something is the higher it sounds and the bigger it is, the lower it sounds. The snare drum and the bass drum made an appearance and a very fun (and loud! 😂) time was had by all. 🥁
Last night, Ella Hein broke a 20 year old school record running a 1:03.59 in the 400m hurdles. The time also meets the Drake Relays Blue Standard, earning her an automatic bid in that event. Congratulations Ella!

We are late in celebrating National School Librarian Day and these two deserve a lot of thanks. Mrs. Wehde, who wears many hats for our district, also serves as the Librarian at the High School. Mrs. Smock covers preschool through 8th grade at the Elementary/Middle School Media Center and does a great job of serving every single one of those students! Thank you school librarians for all you do!
Last week Tank learned about being a dance teacher!
Congrats to both the 6th and 7th/8th grade bands for earning a Division I Superior rating at the SEIBA Middle School/Junior High Concert Band Festival hosted by West Liberty. Bands performed for an audience and 2 judges, received a clinic, and watched two bands perform.
We have spring conferences tonight from 3:30-7:30 and all day tomorrow from 8:30-7:30. While you're in the buildings be sure to admire all the student artwork that is on display! In the Middle and Elementary Schools art is hung in the hallways and can be found near grade level classrooms. At the High School, there are display cases on each floor with student work, and tomorrow will be a larger selection in the cafeteria. We have some talented artists in Tipton!
Today is Paraeducator Appreciation day, there are not enough words to express how much paraeducators do for our students, teachers, and district. Beyond academic support, they fill our students with understanding, compassion and kindness! They are willing to help in every situation and are such a vital piece to our puzzle! Thank you to all the Tipton Paraeducators for all you do!
