Field Day - Field day will look a little different this year, but we have some fun things in the works for students. We may spend some time outside this day, so it is suggested to put sunscreen on before school. We will have class picnics for lunch, so a sack lunch will be served at school. Our wonderful custodial team will treat us with something delicious from Mr. Campbell's food truck, compliments of the PTO! We are looking forward to a fun last day together!

COVID Absences: Attendance continues to be strong at TES! As we continue to work through these COVID times, please keep the following attendance guidelines in mind:
- Do not send your child to school if he/she has been exposed to a positive COVID case or showing any symptoms related to COVID. Please contract the school to determine an appropriate return date and to find out what documentation is needed for your child to return to school.
- Parents should keep all students in the same household home from school when any member of the household presents with COVID symptoms. If your child becomes ill at school, you should expect all members of the same household to be sent home until a diagnosis is made by a healthcare professional.
