Volunteers Needed
Can you help us out on Tuesday, June 19th at 8AM?
We need help putting together the Summer Reading and
Math Take Home Packets.

These packets are sent home with each student on the
 last day of school. They help keep the learning going all summer long!

We will have everything all set up and ready to go.
It should only take a couple of hours!

Please let me know if you are able to help us out.


Tobin Field Day

What is Field Day?

Field Day is an annual event that including ALL the students and staff. Activities are set up by Ms. Spencer out in the fields behind the school. Students make their way with their classmates, to the various activities. Activities include running games, tossing games etc. All activities are age appropriate.
When the children are finished with the activities, they head on over to a barbecue that includes turkey dogs and hamburgers. The children enjoy their lunches under a shady tree. You are welcome to come by and cheer the students on if you would like. 

BTW.... Don't forget to put sunscreen on your children BEFORE they leave for school and please send them with 
a hat.

Got Feedback?
We can't wait to hear from you! CPS is conducting our first annual Family Survey, and we hope to hear from you by June 14th!

If you haven't already received an email or text message, or it's gotten lost in your inbox, check out our Family Survey page and click on your family's school(s). You can also find questions & answers about the survey, view our outreach plan, and even make comments on ways to improve our outreach strategy.

For those who don't have a good way to take it from home, watch for survey-taking stations at events at school. We value your feedback and hope to learn and improve based on what we hear from you.

The survey is part of our continuous improvement efforts, a key component of our CPS District Plan.
