Guidance Word of the Month
The word of the month for
December is Caring. Caring is being
kind, compassionate, and showing
that you care. Helping people in
need as well as forgiving others is
showing that you care. When you
are caring you are helpful, kind and
concerned towards others.
Principal’s Message...
"Every accomplishment starts with the
decision to try.." -Gail Devers
Fear of failure or disappointment can be the
greatest crippler to achieving any goal. Any
attempt that is made is better than no effort at
all. Our students need to be courageous and
take risks without apprehension of what may or may not
happen in the outcome!
-Sonya Nock-Lemons
Twin Hills Title 1 Tutoring Program
Twin Hills Elementary School is offering Title 1 tutoring for
student during the 2012-2013 school year. The primary
purpose of the tutoring program is to address student’s
individual needs in the areas of language arts and/or math.
Students in grades 2 thru 5 received a
tutoring letter during the month of October
that provided parents a summary of their
son/daughter’s progress during the previous
school year. The summary information was
used to prioritize the needs of students in
those core subject areas, while also offering all interested
students an opportunity to participate.
In an effort to keep the groups small in each sessions,
students have been divided into tutoring cycles. Parents will
be notified by a tutor prior to the start of their child’s cycle to
inform them of the session dates and times Sessions are
offered during the AM or PM session, depending upon the
availability of the
