Hello Taylor Families! | Hola Familias de Taylor!
Message from Mr. Uranga and Dr. Hellawell
Hello parents,
We can't believe the end of the year is here! 13 days left!
We are having many events as the year comes to a close. We will send out pre-registration links so that you can get your stickers earlier. If you do not pre-register, you will have to wait in line to get that processed.
¡No podemos creer que el fin de año se acerca rápidamente! Ya nomas quedan 13 dias de clases!
Estamos teniendo muchos eventos a medida que el año llega a su fin. Enviaremos enlaces de registro previo para que pueda obtener sus calcomanías antes. Si no se registra previamente, tendrá que esperar en la fila para que se procese.
Please make sure to read the reminders for drop off/pick up below.
Asegúrese de leer los recordatorios para dejar/recoger a continuación.
