Home & School Communication and Visiting Campus

Home & School Communication

The partnerships of families, students, staff, and community members are characterized by mutual commitment and collaborative effort. Family involvement is one of the most critical variables in a student's successful education.  Tointon Academy provides many opportunities for you to be a partner in your child's education.

Be on the look out for the First Friday of every month for our grade level Newsletter!

The monthly newsletter is an important tool for keeping families informed about:

• Upcoming events
• What we are learning
• Ways to support middle level success
• Family Engineering Challenges

Please make sure we have your current contact information in the front office. We also use our school social media accounts to share the incredible happenings at Tointon.

Bloomz

District 6 has adopted the app BLOOMZ as a form of communication between families and our schools.  Each classroom, athletic team, and club will have a BLOOMZ account where school staff will send out message communication.  There is also a direct messaging component where staff and parents can communicate privately and directly.  Most teachers have BLOOMZ notifications on silent from 4pm-7am.  Teachers will respond within 24 hours of the working day or as soon as reasonable.

Visiting Campus

As a reminder, all visitors shall sign-in at our kiosk using the Raptor System inside our school office. After signing in at the kiosk, all visitors shall display their visitor tag while on campus. Classroom visits must be pre-arranged with the classroom teacher in advance. If you are planning to meet with your child's teacher, please contact them in advance to make sure they are available to meet. Please make sure you are registered as a volunteer through our district application.
