Dear Tubman Families,

We hope you and your students enjoyed the long weekend and are feeling refreshed and ready to finish the school year strong. It’s hard to believe we are heading into the final stretch, and we are excited for all that is still ahead!

Celebrating Ms. C

After 19 years of dedication, creativity, and care for the Tubman community, Ms. C will be retiring at the end of this school year. We are incredibly grateful for the impact she has made on our students and school, and we will be celebrating her contributions later this year.

Planning for Next Year

As we begin preparing for the upcoming school year, we ask that all families complete the Intent to Return Form, if you have not already done so. Your response is essential in helping us plan for staffing and programming. Thank you in advance for taking a few moments to complete this.

Earth Day Celebration

On Friday, April 10, we will celebrate Earth Day with Bulldog Buddies. This is always a special opportunity for our students to connect across grade levels while engaging in meaningful activities.

Family Surveys

Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us. Please take a few minutes to complete the following surveys:

YMCA Partnership Survey (Spring 2026):

Share your feedback on recess, lunch monitors, and after-care programming.
