Tipler Parent Involvement Opportunities

Parents, want to be more involved at Tipler?
The Tipler community needs your involvement. All adults who are working as family members of Tipler students (parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles, adopted relatives, and close friends) are encouraged to become involved with the Tipler Parent Group. Our 2004-05 goal was to increase parent-school communication. How did we do? We instituted a Tipler website, a weekly Tipler newsletter, and installed a new marquee in front of the school. Our 2005-06 goals are to increase parental involvement at Tipler and create more after school activities for students. Will you join us?
