Thank you for all of the food donations for the staff lunch for Parent Teacher Conferences. It was a great treat for everyone! TES Miner Bee Parents are the best!
Winter PE
Change of Dates!
We had a record number of Winter PE Scholarship Applications turned in this week, which means it’s going to take a little bit longer to review the applications and send out Winter PE Scholarship Award letters. For this reason, we are moving a few dates back.
Scholarship Award Letters will be handed out to students on Wednesday, October 11th.
Winter PE Registration will open on Monday, October 16 at 8am.
If your student is still unsure what Winter PE option to participate in, this allows them a little more time to decide. Here are the options.

TES PBIS:
October is BEE YOUR BEST Month - focusing on effort and quality work in academics and throughout the day: specials, recess, lunchroom, etc. "Super Student" behaviors will earn tickets.
TES Adult Lunch Guests:
We have loved having lunch guests at TES! Reminder: Parents who order a hot lunch when they come should bring $5 when eating with their student. Call ahead to order your lunch by 9:00 a.m. You can wait by the office or the cafeteria for your child to go to lunch. Please do not go to the classroom.
Parent Volunteers:
We are looking for parent helpers in copying and putting together materials for our literacy work. If you can spare some time, we would love to have you come in and help us! Please email me at Ktreinen@telluride.k12.co.us
Mark your calendars for November 1st @ 3:30. Our TES Community and Family Meeting will focus on the new district website. We look forward to your input!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Best regards,
Kelly Treinen
