The Administrators,
Faculty, and Staff of
Timbercrest Elementary
want to wish you and your
family a wonderful
holiday season and a
Happy New Year!
VISITORS ON CAMPUS
In order to continue to promote safety and
security at Timbercrest, please remember that
parents and visitors need to check in and out at
the front office with their driver’s license. Office
personnel issue an I.D. that must be visible and
worn at all times. Faculty and staff stop any
unregistered visitors without proper identification and those individuals are escorted to the office. The visitor
procedure applies to breakfast and lunch.
Younger siblings are welcomed on campus, but must be secured in
strollers at all times. Due to fire code and safety regulations, siblings would not be permitted:
to go into classrooms,
to eat lunch in the cafeteria,
to be left unattended at any time, or
to play on the playground.
Always cross at marked crosswalks.
You forfeit your rights as a pedestrian if you cross
elsewhere.
• Obey any pedestrian signals and look left-right-left
to make sure the road is clear in both directions before crossing.
• If a vehicle approaches, make eye contact with the driver
to be sure s/he sees you before you cross.
• Look before walking past stopped vehicles.
Do not cross just because a driver waves you on. Be sure all
lanes are clear first.
• Remember that bicyclists are not considered pedestrians
unless they are walking their bikes. Otherwise, they are considered vehicles. (from uncw.edu)
Dear Parent/Guardian:
Did you know you may qualify for our District’s free/reduced lunch/
breakfast program? Often times, circumstances change and families that
did not qualify before may qualify now.
Timbercrest Elementary School receives Title I funds from the Federal
Government based on our percentage of students receiving free/reduced
lunch/breakfast. We currently have 66% of our students that qualify for
this program. The money for the program comes from Washington DC.
The Title I money at Timbercrest could help us secure Academic Coaches,
tutoring, technology, a Parent Liaison and staff development.
The number of approved free and reduced lunch/breakfast forms will
determine our Title I funding for the next school year. Please help us out
by completing a form (one form is needed per family). You may pick one
up in the front office or go on-line at www.volusia.k12.fl.us and click on the
Parent tab. You will find a link to Free and Reduced Meal Applications. If
you need help completing the form or have any questions, please contact
the front desk at Timbercrest Elementary School.
Thank you,
Lonnie Tidmarsh, Assistant Principal,
Timbercrest Elementary School
