 Supply Costs
Beginning of the Year Fee: $10.00
• TIGER Tote
• Time for Kid
• Indiana Studies Weekly
• Agenda Book
• Science Fee: Originally $6 is FREE - Paid
for Tekoppel students through a grant our
school received from a former science
teacher, Mr. Dennis Beadles.

If you’d like to pay for this over several weeks, that is

totally fine. Just send a little each week, and I will keep
track of it. Please have all money in by August 31.
 TIGER Tote

Your child will be given a TIGER Tote Wednesday.

This is a key communication tool along with the
Agenda Books. I have found it to be the best way
to assist students in organizing their school life
as subjects and work increase in the upper
grades. It will be coming home each night and is
to return every school day with your child. I
would suggest you remind your child to pack it in
their backpack at night and beware of
young siblings who seem to take a liking to it! 
 Field Trips
• 4th Grade is well known for going on some great trips.
Usually 1-2 more are added throughout the year. This is
what is tentatively planned at this time…

10/3New Harmony Historic Sites $10.00 (Due October 1)

Reitz Home Museum
Vincennes Historic Sites
Vanderburgh County Ag Days
 Classroom Community
We follow Tekoppel PRIDE rules both in the school and in our class.

P – Prepared
R – Respectful
I – Involved
D – Dependable
E - Everyday

Your child will bring home a Tekoppel PRIDE ticket every week to show
you how well they followed PRIDE rules. Please sign and return this in
their TIGER Tote by the next week. If you ever have any concerns, do not
hesitate to contact me.
 Gym – Art - Music

Students are graded in these subjects this

year. It is important that they participate
each day in class. The one area that can be
an issue is Gym. Students must wear
appropriate shoes to participate. If your child
is in the habit of wearing shoes other that
athletic shoes, please check their agenda
books for gym days and have them wear
them on that day. We don’t change shoes at
school.
 Technology
Students will be assigned a ThinkPad in 4th
grade. They are responsible for the care of
it, however they are only for use in the
classroom. They are not allowed to be
sent home.
We use these daily in the classroom in
multiple subject areas. They are a vital
part of learning in the 21st century, and
we are lucky to have the ThinkPads for
every student now in 4th grade.
 Communication
Communication between home and school is vital to the
success and happiness of your child in my classroom. I want
your child to be excited to come to school and learn each day. If
you have a concern, please do not hesitate to contact me
anytime. Often, simple misunderstandings can be easily
resolved with a quick phone call or text.

 PTA Membership and Volunteer
Sheet
Please join Tekoppel PTA! They have a table set up downstairs.
They are selling T-shirts for $10.
Please also consider signing up to volunteer just 2 hours of
your time to your child’s school this year. It helps lighten the
load for everyone and means so much to all the students to
see parents helping out in our school!
See PTA sign-up table downstairs.
It’s gonna be a GREAT year!!!
