Mrs. Lancaster’s class had a blast exploring measurements! Students worked together to measure various objects around the classroom, putting their math skills to work in a fun and hands-on way!
We couldn’t let today end without thanking the true superheroes of the TIS front office — Emily and Nidia! From hunting down subs to juggling 12 things at once, you keep this place from falling apart (and somehow do it with a smile). Happy Administrative Professionals Day to the queens of calm in a sea of chaos!

What a beautiful way to celebrate Earth Day! Today, some of our classes got their hands dirty planting in the TIS STEM Garden—learning about sustainability, science, and the importance of caring for our planet. A huge THANK YOU to Mrs. Meyers for heading Sprout Scouts and inspiring our young environmentalists. Happy Earth Day! 🌍 🌎 🌏
4th graders have had a blast line dancing this week in PE!
Ms. Horton’s 4th grade class went on an egg-citing Easter egg hunt—each egg held a clue to help them solve fill-in-the-blank questions using this week’s vocabulary words! 🥚 🐣
We are so proud of our 4th grader, Stella Hall, for receiving the Character in Action Award tonight!
The students selected for the Character in Action Awards are chosen based upon their demonstrations of exemplary character in the areas of respect, self-discipline, responsibility, citizenship, friendship, fairness, perseverance and courage—and Stella truly embodies all of these qualities. Stella takes initiative in the classroom and in Kindness Crew to step out of her comfort zone and promote kindness and positivity. Stella views challenges not as obstacles but opportunities to learn and grow. Stella is always inclusive, making sure no one feels left out and everyone has a friend to lean on. Stella’s courtesy and genuine care for others makes her standout in any group.
Congratulations, Stella! Your heart and character inspire us all.

We’re so proud of our young entrepreneurs and grateful for their kindness and support!

Dear TIS Parents and Guardians,
Due to the potential for severe weather and the closing of Alabaster City Schools today, we have updated our ACAP testing schedule for this week. We will now test on Wednesday, April 2nd; Thursday, April 3rd; and Friday, April 4th.
Please Remember:
Encourage your child to do well by reminding them of their preparation throughout the school year. Focus your encouragement on their hard work, effort, and determination to do their best.
Please refrain from checking out your child during the testing window, which will be from 8:00 AM to 10:30 AM each day, unless it is a medical emergency.
Be sure your child gets plenty of rest each night before the test.
Be sure your child has a nutritious breakfast at home or school before the test.
Please talk with your child about behaviors during testing. Disruptions will not be tolerated. Inappropriate behavior may result in removal from the testing environment and score invalidation.
We can't wait to see everyone back at school on Tuesday, rested and ready to show what they know.
Thank you,
TIS Administration
