Welcome Back!!
On behalf of the entire staff, I would like to welcome you and your family to Turrill Elementary! We are anxious to start another year and excited about your child becoming a part of our family. The first day of school is full of emotions whether you are returning for another year or it is your child's very first school experience.
I hope that your family finds the transition to the 2017-2018 school year a pleasant one and know that you will be supported by the entire staff starting the very first day. When it comes to assisting our students we utilize the "all hands on deck" approach. This means every available staff member will be there to assist your son or daughter as they get off the bus, go to lunch, at dismissal and during all aspects of their day.
We look forward to the start of another great year and to seeing you on:
- Monday, July 31st for the "Back to School" Open House from 5:00-6:00
- Tuesday, August 1st for the FIRST DAY of SCHOOL
On the first day of school the building will open at 8:30 but the normal time is 8:40. For your child's safety, please do not leave your child unsupervised outside before school starts (staff supervision outside of the building starts at 8:35). During the first week of school, parents are welcome to walk their child to the classroom.
I send out weekly updates to parents via email so please make sure that you provide the office with that information, you can follow me on Twitter @TESPrincipalD, and additional information is available through the school website at <turrill.lapeerschools.org>.
Here at Turrill, we are "Turrill Tough"! We take care of ourselves while taking care of other people.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
