News You Can Use
Reporting Cases of COVID-19
Please continue to keep scholars home if they are not feeling well and have symptoms that are associated with Covid-19. Reach out to our registrar, Erika Bryant, to alert her to your child's absence so that they absence can be excused. Please note that scholars who are absent for 3 days or more must return with a written excuse, preferably from a doctor. We thank you for doing your part to keep our school healthy. We, too, are working to keep everyone healthy and safe by minimizing touchpoints, limiting the sharing of materials, cleaning common areas more frequently, misting classrooms nightly, spacing scholars out in the cafeteria during lunch, having classes play in separate recess zones, reminding scholars to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds whenever they go to the restroom, frequently using hand sanitizer and keeping hand sanitizing stations located throughout the campus, having masks available to anyone who would like to wear one, and using bottle fillers instead of the water fountains.

Celebrating Our Staff
I wanted to take a moment to compliment Mrs. Shannon McIntosh. My little one was unaware that I had printed off a copy of her weekly Kinder Newsletter and informed Mrs. McIntosh that she needed a copy. Mrs. McIntosh reached out to me personally and provided a copy! It means SO much to know that a teacher truly listens to and cares for her students. Mrs. McIntosh - THANK YOU for all that you do :)

Birthday Recognitions
Parents are permitted to recognize a child’s birthday by sending treats for the child’s homeroom class to enjoy after lunch. Birthday party invitations may not be distributed.
Parents are encouraged to buy frozen treats from our cafeteria for all students in the class to recognize their child’s birthday.
If you do choose to send in treats, please check with the teacher first regarding any allergies in the class. Send in one store-bought treat per child.
The following items are NOT allowed at TE to recognize birthdays: balloons, goodie bags, gifts, candles, flowers, party hats, homemade treats, etc.
The cost is $5 to recognize your scholar’s birthday on the marquee.
Dismissal
Scholars listed as car riders will only be released to a person in a car with a car rider tag. If you do not have a car rider tag, please contact your child's teacher or come in to the front office to pick one up. Car riders in grades K-2 and their older siblings will be dismissed from the pavilion at the back of the school. Car riders in grades 3-5 who do not have younger siblings will be dismissed from the front of the school. Please form only one car rider line in each location . Scholars will not be released to anyone who walks up to the car rider dismissal area.
Kindergarten and 1st grade scholars will not be released to walk or bike home alone. They will only be released to a parent or older sibling (3rd grade or older).
Scholars listed as walkers are expected to walk home. Parents may not park on campus to retrieve scholars from the walker/biker line.
