Just in case you missed it...

We need 50% or more of our families to register for our PTO Dance-a-Thon Sock Hop Fundraiser so Mrs. Glenewinkel and Mrs. Meek, our amazing Principal and Assistant Principal, will have to eat a BUG at Call to Excellence on Monday morning!  We are creeping up on our goal to raise $25,000 for playground equipment and supplemental instructional materials, and we need your help!

CLICK HERE to register today!

Our Sock Hop takes place on the 50th Day of School this Tuesday, November 17th, so get your child's 50's gear ready!  Ask your Tiger about their favorite 50's dance move!

We appreciate your support and hope you have a great weekend! 

Hello!  I hope you are enjoying a wonderful Labor Day weekend!  I’m so excited the time has finally arrived for us to begin the 2020-2021 school year!  We can’t wait to meet all of our Grand Oaks Tigers!  Our entire staff is looking forward to welcoming all of our students to our beautiful, brand new elementary campus tomorrow!   As we prepare for the upcoming first day of school, I just wanted to take this opportunity to share a few notes and friendly reminders:

• If you have not already done so, please make sure you subscribe to my teacher website (Mrs. Apfel's Teacher Website).  Updates for math and science will be posted each week so if you are subscribed, the information will be sent straight to your inbox.  Please make sure you subscribe to Mrs. Beiersdorfer’s Teacher Website as well so you will receive important information and updates for language arts and social studies.
• If you ever need anything or have questions, the best way to contact me is by email (diannaapfel@tomballisd.net).  
• We will be spending the majority of this first week of school getting to know each other and working together to establish our classroom and school routines and procedures. We will also be spending some time working on setting up our math and science interactive notebooks (INBs) so they will be ready for our subject-specific learning in the days, weeks, and months ahead!

Thank you in advance for your help and support at home.  I know we are going to make a great team as we work together this school year!  Please let me know if you have any questions at all.  I hope everyone has a great first week getting back into the school routine!  GO Tigers!
