Dismissal
First rule of pickup at Tamarac Elementary School, bring your patience!
It is very important to remember which dismissal procedure you selected for your child. If he/she is a car rider, make sure you stay in your car and pick him/her up at the designated spot. Do not park and walk onto campus!
North Side Tips - Do not walk in the parking lot or along the sidewalk from the apartments or medical plaza. There is not enough room for both cars and people and this makes for a very dangerous situation.
South Side Tips - Parents picking up walkers must stay behind the fence by the overpass. All South Side walkers will be released at this location. Notify a staff member if you are unable to locate your child but please remain behind the fence. Parents are not to be on campus unless they are visiting the office!
Car Riders: Please place a piece of paper with your child's name and grade and place in a visible spot on your dashboard. This will speed up the pickup process!
Car Riders: Please place a piece of paper with your child's name and grade and place in a visible spot on your dashboard. This will speed up the pickup process!
Dismissal will improve with the cooperation of students, parents and staff.

It's The First Day of School
We want to wish everyone a happy and stress free first day of school. Please make sure you bring your patience this week, especially during drop off and pickup. We have many new parents who are not aware of how these things work so we ask that some of you seasoned pros help them out. Don't forget, you were once a newbie too!
PTA is currently accepting PTA memberships and Uniform Orders. Uniforms can be purchased on-line. We are also in need of volunteers for various activities throughout the year. Please refer to the letter in the green first day folder for more information or send us an e-mail at tamaracelementarypta@hotmail.com or through our Facebook page Tamarac Elementary PTA.
Your children are in great hands so try not to worry about them while they are at school. A couple of tips for a fantastic year: ask them specific questions about their day every day and create a relationship with their teacher(s).
Again, we hope you all have a fantastic first day, first week and school year at Tamarac Elementary School.
