2022-2023 Registration Dates
Please call to schedule an appointment to register for the 2022-2023 school year. The dates are 3/25, 4/7, and 5/4. These registration dates are for incoming Pre-K, Kindergarten, or other students new to TES. Students currently in Pre-K are already enrolled and there is nothing further parents need to do.
Reminder
As we head into the spring months, if your child is exhibiting any Covid related symptoms, please KEEP THEM HOME and reach out to our school nurse, Tracy Batley. tbatley@talbotschools.org She can communicate quarantine information for school and answer any questions you may have. Our parents have been wonderful at communicating student illnesses with us, so THANK YOU!
If you have specific questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!

TES Highlights
Social Emotional Learning at TES- Week of March 14th- Love of Learning
Dear Families,
This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Love of Learning. Love of learning means you master new topics on your own or in school.
Those with a love of learning are intrinsically motivated and engaged in a topic regardless of achieving an external standard. They enjoy learning simply for the sake of learning. They don’t need a prize of a high grade as a reward. Their reward is the process of doing the work and improving.
Developing a love of learning is highly beneficial for an individual. It means that they are intrinsically motivated to deepen their existing skills and abilities, or learn something completely new. Since intrinsically motivated action is correlated with positive emotions, those who act on their love of learning may also have enhanced mental and physical health. Additionally, individuals who love learning have the desire and ability to overcome challenges, due to a sense of autonomy and control over their environment.
Have a wonderful week!
