Parent Teacher Conference Information
Fall parent teacher conferences are coming up at the end of this month. Families should be on the lookout for details and conference sign up information from your child’s teacher tomorrow.
New Student of the Month Recognition Program
In an effort to recognize our amazing students and the hard work they demonstrate each day, one student from each classroom will be selected as Student of the Month. Students may earn this recognition once per school year, allowing us to celebrate a wide variety of students across our school.
We believe it is important to recognize not only academic achievement, but also positive character, responsibility, kindness, perseverance, leadership, and citizenship. Our goal is to encourage and celebrate the behaviors and values that help make our school a positive place to learn and grow.
This program aligns with our PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) initiatives and will support our House System by recognizing students who consistently demonstrate our house traits and meet our schoolwide expectations. Teachers will use these traits and "look-fors" when selecting students each month.
We look forward to honoring our students throughout the year and sharing in their success. Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we celebrate the wonderful accomplishments of our students!

TES Parent Workshop: Anxiety in Children
Join the TES School-Based Mental Health Team on October 22 from 8:15–8:45 AM for a parent/caregiver workshop focused on understanding anxiety in children and learning practical strategies to support them at home. Please click here to view the flyer for more information and to RSVP.
Health History Completion
This is a gentle reminder for families to complete the student health history online form for each child if you have not done so. Currently, about half of our students do not have these updated. If you have any questions, please contact our school nurse, Kim Lesniak.
Scheduled Safety Drills
There is an earthquake drill and a fire drill scheduled for this week.
Have a great week everyone!
Sincerely,
Sonia Ford, Principal
