Attendance Matters!

If your student is going to be late to school or if they will not be in school because of an illness or appointment, please email or call our attendance line directly for each absence. 

We ask that families  make appointments outside of the school day although we recognize some times this is unavoidable. We want all of our students in school all day every day. 


Tiger Share Needs Your Help!

Want to volunteer to help two great causes? Help us help the community by delivering food from school to Food for Others.  Please sign up using the sign up genius.

We are hoping to have a family/person/team sign up for each week of school to take the donated food from the refrigerator and bring it all to Food for Others at 2938 Prosperity Ave, Fairfax. 

Please sign up using the link above or email us if you have any questions.
