Family Photo Mini Sessions October 20
Have you gotten your Christmas card photo done yet? Or are you looking for a great deal on family photos?
Support TVA Bells by signing up for our annual photo mini sessions! You can find all the information here.
In previous years we’ve taken photos in the studio, but this year we thought we’d head outdoors. If the studio is your preferred location, let us know and we can consider adding a studio session in November. Thanks for supporting music education!

MAP Testing
We will start our MAP Growth (Measures of Academic Progress) testing next week. Your teacher will let you know when your child’s class will start testing. We will be administering the MAP test three times a year in the fall, winter, and spring. Click here to learn more about this MAP Growth assessment. Your teacher will share additional information regarding your child’s results during the Parent-Teacher Conferences. There is also a video that shares information about the MAP Growth assessment.
Tardy Procedure
If your child arrives to school after 8:15 please make sure that they check in at the office to receive a “Tardy Token”.
Let them know that there is a clock above the office window that they can refer to if they’re not sure if they are late.
We change the clock from rainbow colors, to red at 8:15 to help out the younger students who don’t know how to read a clock yet.

TVA T-shirt Tuesdays
During the 2024-2025 school year, we are working toward a unified school spirit. To do this, every Tuesday, we are requesting that students wear a TVA shirt or a T-shirt with TVA colors (navy blue, light blue, or white).
The classes that participate the most will win a prize each quarter. This effort will help us continue to build community as we move toward furthering our conversations regarding uniforms. A new parent survey has been sent to gauge interest in this topic and will include a preview of uniform options to be voted on. Please find the survey code at the bottom of this newsletter.
If you need a TVA T-shirt, we have a few left over from the fun run to give away. Please see the office to grab a shirt. Newly designed T-shirts will also be available for purchase.

If your child is sick…
Please visit our Health & Safety page on our website for our health protocols. Please do not send your child to school if he/she is sick. Help us keep our students and staff safe from illnesses by keeping your child home when sick. Thank you!
