Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week~
Tony Tobin Day! ~ Friday, May 7th
This coming Friday, May 7, we will be celebrating our school’s name sake, Tony Tobin. Tony Tobin (1913-2001) lived in the Temecula area for most of his life. He was a local pioneer and historian who loved Temecula and collected memorabilia to preserve the history of our city. He was a cofounder of the Temecula Valley Museum in Old Town and was instrumental in saving the historical chapel that now sits at Sam Hick’s Park. The bells ring in his honor at the chapel. Among his life adventures, Tony Tobin served as a constable, firefighter and built the western-themed Woodchuck Campground. When visiting the Temecula Valley Museum, you can view a video of Tony Tobin speaking about Temecula’s rich history. To celebrate him, we will be dressing up in western wear this Friday. We hope that you will join us in celebrating Tony Tobin and all that he did for our community.
Please take a few minutes to watch the video below, narrated by our amazing 3rd grade teacher, Diane Lawrence, who is Tony Tobin's granddaughter!
Device Inspection Time~
As we anticipate the end of the school year, we need to inspect your child’s iPad device. You may have already received the District’s parent notification of this process, however we have included it here as well: TVUSD Device Inspection Letter. Please read through all the communication you receive regarding your child’s device to stay informed of the latest updates.
TTES will begin the inspection process next week for in-person students. All we need from you is to ensure that your child comes to school with a fully charged device to help expedite the process.
If your child attends school online, we are requesting that the device be brought to campus on Monday, May 10 or Monday, May 17 anytime between 8:00am-12:00pm or 1:00pm-3:00pm. We will inspect devices on a first come first service basis. Please plan on waiting for the device to be checked before leaving.
Most importantly, please ensure that your child’s device is fully charged when you bring it to campus as the inspection cannot be completed without it.
We need your help~
