"Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse." - Henry Van Dyke
Hello TJ Stars!
As we embark on the holiday season I am reminded about the importance of gratitude, thankfulness, and thanksgiving. I am humbled by the grace of our Stars as they learn and lead together. It is truly a privilege to witness our students to show kindness and gratitude to one another. This is the final week of our PBIS KINDNESS booster and students and staff have been focusing on being KIND to one another. When a staff member sees an act of random KINDNESS our Stars are given a Kindness Turkey ticket. These tickets are turned in to their teacher and collected together with the class. When the class earns ten tickets they then earn a feather to add to their class turkey. When a class collects ten feathers they are invited to a school-wide recess celebration on the last day before Thanksgiving break! Please encourage your student to make a difference in the life of another person by sharing an act of kindness to another TJ Star!
It is another great week to be at TJ Star!

GATE TESTING INFORMATION
The 2020-2021 school year GATE identification test will be administered at the District Office for students currently in 2nd – 7th grade. The students will take the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test, OLSAT, that tests abstract thinking and reasoning ability. Students must attend one of the testing dates on the OLSAT Parent Permission Form in order to complete the testing by the district. The Parent Permission Forms are on our district website @ www.rcsdk8.org Click on the Main Menu and then under Programs – Gifted and Talented Education. All forms must be returned to the District Office by December 20, 2019, if you would like your student tested. There are no exceptions as materials are ordered based on the number of returned forms.
