Tyngsborough Elementary School
August 21, 2018
Dear TES Families,
Welcome to Tyngsborough Elementary School! We are looking forward to another great year. This will be the first of many informative “email blasts” that families will receive throughout the year.
Our goal here at Tyngsborough Elementary School is simple: we strive to create a dynamic learning environment where our students can learn and grow. At TES, we will show our care and commitment for our students through our expectations of them. We expect students to work hard and learn. We expect them to respect one another. We expect our student to do their best. We expect and encourage parents to be equal partners in their children’s learning. We hold ourselves to these same high standards.
We are a large elementary school, but it is our goal to give families the personal attention they deserve. In an effort to achieve this goal, we have established two small learning communities within the building:
• Lower Elementary School: Preschool - Grade 2 (1st Floor)
• Upper Elementary School: Grade 3 – Grade 5 (2nd Floor).
Our doors are always open for questions, comments, discussion, or feedback. It is very important for you to know what and how your child is learning. We want you and every staff member to be proud of the great things that are happening here at TES. Because you may have questions about the start of the school year, the following information is provided for your assistance.
Kerry Cavanaugh, Principal Preschool - Grade 5
Erin Sousa, Assistant Principal Preschool-Grade 2
John Salmon, Associate Principal, Grades 3-5
Brian Reilly, Special Education Facilitator Preschool - Grade 5
