Mt. Tipton Sports Club will have two parts, Middle School and High School. Middle School will consist of 5th grade through 8th grade; High School will be 9th grade through 12th grade. The sports club sponsors team sports at Mt. Tipton. They will be offering girl’s volleyball, boy’s and girl’s basketball, and they would like to offer flag football, soccer, and softball, however they need coaches and scheduled games. Due to budget constraints all clubs will be forced to pay for mileage and the bus drivers’ wages, so we are trying to get the community to attend games and help pay for this. There will be a $1.00 dollar entrance fee. Keep an EyE on this blog for home game dates.

Mt. Tipton School is going to establish a tortoise desert habitat. This will be a school wide project. That means that the students who are interested can help out, with the maintenance of the habitat. The project will be located between the High School and Middle School quad. The hope is to adopt a tortoise or two that will be permanent residents. Anyone who would like to make any donations time and money will be welcomed. If anyone will like to donate their 2008-2009 tax credit will be greatly appreciated.

The Mt. Tipton Site Council meets once per month during the school year, generally on the third Tuesday of each month.
Arizona site councils are authorized to help school administrators develop character education programs and provide counsel on issues that affect both the school and the community it serves. We also control the tax credit money donated by local residents in lieu of paying up to $500 of Arizona state income taxes. We are allowed to spend this money on extra-curricular activities and character education programs.
Please join us if you are interested in becoming a member of the site council or participating in planning for Mt. Tipton’s future.
If you are interested in taking advantage of this incredible tax credit that allows you to keep your tax money in your community, please call the school at (28) 767-3350.

August 2008
Dear Parents, Students and Staff;
Welcome to the Mt. Tipton blog and website. Over the course of the year, we will be updating and using these pages as way to teach, learn and communicate!
We are looking forward to a great year ahead, and welcome our new staff members:
v Ms. Joyce Pietri has joined us as our new Assistant Principal; as Mr. McCormick has returned to Black Mountain
v Ms. Valli Smith is joining us as our new ELL teacher
v Mr. David Hermanson is our new 6th grade teacher, taking over for Mr. Rhoades who has moved to White Cliffs MS to finish up his last year of teaching.
v Ms. Frankie Colton is our new high school Social Studies teacher, taking over for Ms. Dios, who has moved over to KHS
The custodial and maintenance crew have been working hard over the summer to make our school look fantastic. We are also getting a new Science lab and two portable classrooms. As many of you know, we have used every possible square inch of space at our school!
School tee shirts are now available through the vendors on the list that was mailed out to you over the summer. The list is also at the front desk at the school. Tee shirts are mandatory this year, and students are expected to be wearing them! There are also sweatshirts and polo shirts available.
I am excited to welcome back the students and staff for what will be my first full year at Mt. Tipton! I am also looking forward to continued input from students, parents and staff on how to make Mt. Tipton an even better learning community!
Go Panthers!
Ms. Weiss
