Dismissal Time Change This Week: The extended schedule due to weather related school closures ends this week. We will go back to our normal dismissal time on Thursday, March 27. Dismissal will begin at our usual time at 2:05.
Intent to Return Form : We are asking all families to use this form to notify the school of any changes in student information. This updated information will also be used in planning for the next school year and in the 2025-26 class placement process. Please complete the form no later than Friday, April 11th. Thank you for your help and attention to this request.
Class Placement Parent Feedback Option: Each year all teachers and members of the administrative team provide detailed feedback about each student as a part of the class placement process for the coming school year. Whether or not you choose to provide parental input, classroom communities and individual student needs are carefully considered. However, if you believe that there are unique circumstances regarding your child that may be overlooked, you are welcome to provide your input. Parent input is accepted by accessing the digital form here. The form is open for parent access and will remain open until 4PM on Friday, March 28. In order to ensure that the class placement process is completed in a timely manner, no parent input will be accepted after that date. Thank you in advance for observing the timeline.
Kindergarten Registration: Kindergarten registration begins online today, Monday, March 24, and we are excited to welcome the class of 2038 to TES! To begin the process, families must first access the HCPS KG Registration Site to complete the online portion of registration.
After completing your online registration, our school registrar, Maria Livaniou, will contact you via email to discuss the next steps required to complete your registration. Once that email is received, an in person appointment will be scheduled to complete the registration process.
We ask that only one adult attend the scheduled appointment due to limited space in our main office. Rising Kindergarten students should not attend this appointment as we will offer a welcome event for students this spring and a Kindergarten Orientation prior to the opening of school in the fall.
We look forward to registering your child!
Student Absence Due to Travel: When family travel plans require a student school absence parents must notify the principal and teacher. Families should request that the absences be excused by using the Request for Student Absence Approval Form a week prior to the trip.
Have a great week everyone!
Sincerely,
Sonia Ford, Principal
