Principal’s News
TL students are something to howl about. We have just finished the second trimester and we look forward to our students continuing developing more knowledge and skills . On Friday, March 10 a group of Band and Orchestra students went to Sequoia High School to perform and be part of the music community. We have heard rave reviews. Thank you to Mr. Kneebone and Ms. Tetreault, parent volunteers and out musicians.
We are continuing to reinforce clear and consistent behavior expectations. Here are some examples of positive comments we use to highlight and acknowledge positive behavior:
- I see you making an effort to work as a team and hear all viewpoints
- During rainy day lunch, you were safe by sitting at your table, walking, and eating lunch
- You are respectful and kind to volunteers, using “please and thank you”
- You are using the bathroom at break time and staying in class
- You are engaged and participating, asking thoughtful questions
- And yes, sometimes it’s simply, thank you for raising your hand and sharing the air with others
We give out Wolf Paws and have a drawing weekly on Thursday during Announcements. We are seeing an increase in positive language, compliments, and kind words including, “please, thank you, and how can I help you?” We are seeing a decrease in tardiness and inappropriate language. We have had students in the past two weeks seek out an adult to help resolve conflicts with peers to avoid escalating it. We will send students a survey with open ended questions to help us learn what students like about Tierra Linda and how we can make it a better place including events and activities at break and lunch.
For more on our PBIS-Positive Behavior Intervention Support and Progressive Discipline, join our PTA meeting on Monday, March 13 at 7:00 p.m.
Our students completed their second IReady Benchmark in English and Math. Here is some data. Keep in mind, we still have one trimester left for instruction and standards mastery.
Report cards should be emailed at the end of next week. Thank you for your support and partnership.

Ability Awareness Week starts March 13-17! See Flyer Attached Below
All students will have a chance to engage in a set of common experiences through activities already taking place on campus to spark discussion, increase understanding, and to celebrate our differences.
SEDAC (Special Education District Advisory Council) strives to educate our students and community about ways to honor and include the unique strengths and many differences each member contributes. SEDAC takes a leading role in helping us all take an assets-based, strength-first approach when considering any individual person, before compassionately including and accommodating our differences and limitations.
