Time is ticking to earn our students more books! You can contribute through the invitation from your favorite student or make a school-wide contribution «CommunityContributionLink» through Sunday night.



Don't forget! When you register and send 10+ invitations, it helps classroom teachers earn shopping sprees for classroom supplies or books. Thanks for supporting our teachers!

BOOK BLAST BEGINS TODAY

Dear Temple Hill Elementary School Families,

We're teaming up with Books Are Fun and their Book Blast program to help grow our students' home libraries and encourage more reading time over screen time. For more than 30 years, Books Are Fun has helped promote literacy by getting great books into the hands of students.

Today, our students learned about the Book Blast Program and the importance of having their own books at home. Tonight, we are asking you to take 7 minutes to support our Student Home Library initiative.

Click Here: https://app.booksarefun.com/TempleHillES37650

Here are the steps:

Click the link above.
Register your student(s).
Send invitations to at least 10 friends or family members to support our students (don't worry, all the information you provide is secure and never shared with anyone).
Need help registering? Watch this short step by step video: Family Explainer Video
Win a trip to Disney!

Our school has been selected for an incredible opportunity! For every supporter who clicks your student's contribution link during Book Blast, you'll earn one entry for a chance to win a trip to Disney! For example, if five different people click the link, your family gets five entries into the drawing!

*Pro Tip: After sending invitations, follow up with a phone call to make sure they received the message.

Why I love this program:

It's guaranteed to put new, age-appropriate books into the hands of every student!
100% of all contributions go toward new books and classroom supplies.
The book list is fantastic! It's attached, check it out.
It will take you less than 10 minutes and there is NO financial requirement from you.
More books in your homes equals more pages being read! That's the goal. We're hoping for 100% participation.

Thank you for helping our students have more books.

Dear families,
Some of our students have been bringing personal electronic devices to school. We would appreciate it if they could remain at home for several reasons, including theft, damage, and distraction.

Unicoi Schools has a policy in place for electronic devices during the school day, 6.312, and it reads:
A student may be permitted to utilize a wireless communication device under the following circumstances:

1. In case of emergency;

2. When authorized by a teacher or administrator;

3. To manage the student’s health, as documented in the student’s individual healthcare plan;

4. When the possession or use is required by the student’s individual education program, 504 plan, or individual learning plan; or

5. When the device is being used by a student with a disability for the operation of assistive technology to increase, maintain, or improve the student’s functional capabilities.

GRADES K-5

Students may possess wireless communication devices so long as such devices are turned off and stored for the entirety of the school day unless one of the exceptions above applies.

THANK YOU for your understanding and help.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Franks
