General News: (1) Parent night begins Monday 8/18 at 5:30 p.m. in the auditorium (2) TCAP scores from last year went home with students Monday afternoon. We had scores from students who attended Collierville Elementary or Tara Oaks last year. (3) Our fund raiser begins this Monday. Students will bring home Sally Foster gift wrap order forms and an Entertainment coupon book. Be sure to take good care of the Entertainment book since it is the sample to show. You may sell it to the last person who you take an order from and the deadline sheet shows turn in dates. Thank you for helping to put extra educational items in the school for our students!
