Principal's Message
Dear Trailblazer Families,
Wow~ January has come and gone! I hope the start of 2021 has been a great one for you and your family! We are amazed at how quickly this school year is flying by. Students, staff and families have accomplished remarkable things over the past few months despite being in a pandemic. As always, thank you for your continued support and the amazing efforts you are taking to help your child succeed.
We want to acknowledge all of the hard work our wonderful TTES PTA has put in so far this year while navigating in the pandemic. PTA has embraced our community and decorated our school grounds with Card your Yard Messages to honor our 1st Responders and Veteran's Families & Community Members, Reflections, a virtual Holiday Literacy Night, Virtual Book Fair, Silent Auction ~Gift Baskets and provided access to Online Educational Programs such as: Reading Eggs, Reading A-Z, Razz Kids, Early Literacy Kits to support reading development for our students all without having many fundraising opportunities all during a pandemic. Amazing! Thank you PTA for all you do and especially for your hard work keeping our kids connected to school from a distance! PTA will be sponsoring another upcoming VIRTUAL Literacy Night in honor of Dr. Seuss on Tuesday, March 2nd. Stay tuned--more details to come.
Thank you to PTA and our School Community for your continued efforts and support.
Sincerely~JoeAnna Hernandez

Safety Request
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, we would like to remind our parent community that it takes a collective effort to help minimize contact due to the rise in Covid. While TTES teachers and staff have always appreciated the warm gifts and kindness from our families, this year we respectfully request that nothing be dropped off at the school site. Please understand we appreciate you and are proud to work with amazing partners!
Library Curbside Service
Hello TTES Families,
Curbside Library will be available to students, grades 1st-5th, beginning Tuesday, February 9th.
Library books will be available for pick up on the days and times provided below.
Tuesdays 1-3 pm
Wednesdays 1-3 pm
***Any books not picked up by Wed. afternoon, will be checked back into the library.***
Procedures for placing books on holds are as follows:
- You will need to download the App from the Tony Tobin Web page. (Click Academics, then Library). When you get to the Library page scroll down to Search Destiny Discover and click on that. The Destiny Discover page will open. When you get to Destiny Discover in the upper right hand corner, there is a box with an arrow up. When you click on the Arrow up, the drop down list will appear and click add to the home screen. This will create an app on your home screen. The Destiny Discover App we are using is an Orange and Blue Diamond. You can also access it through the Library Bitmoji classroom. Click on the link (found on the white board) named Destiny Discover.
- From there, you will need to log into Google using your student id and password (same login used on all other programs).
- To find the library books you wish to check out, search by either - Title, Author, or Genre. Once you have decided on the perfect book(s), Click hold, making sure in the top left corner of the book there is a green IN, indicating it is available. If you see a red OUT, that means it has already been checked out by another student, so you will have to select a different book.
- ALL BOOKS WILL NEED TO BE PLACED ON HOLD BY THE FRIDAY, BEFORE TUESDAY'S PICKUP. We are unable to fill student requests after the Friday cut off.
****Students have been instructed on how to place library books on hold through our library system during our weekly ZOOM MEETINGS.***
Procedures for Picking up Library books during Curbside Library are as follows:
- Tables will be placed in front of the school by grade level. Please be sure to look for the slip with your student's name on it. We will do our best to keep books checked out to siblings together.
- Students may check out new books each week, as long as they have returned the books from the previous week.
RETURNS: A blue bin will be placed outside, next to the tables for book returns. Once books are dropped in the blue bin, they are considered "IN QUARANTINE." For your safety, Please DO NOT take any books out of the blue bin.
Happy Reading Trailblazers,
Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Davis
