Good Morning: Bus C with Mrs. Rogers is running about 30 minutes late this morning. We are picking up students. Please have your students ready. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
A Note From TES Principal, Mrs. Ward:
“It is hard to believe we are over half way through the 2nd Six Weeks! Thanks in BIG part to our super-talented TES staff, the “There’s No Place Like Homecoming “ parade was one for the books. Parents, you did an amazing job with costumes, hair, and makeup, and thank you to all of you who volunteered your trucks and trailers. We also appreciated how quickly students were picked up, so the staff could take apart floats.
Mini cheer camp kicked off their first practice Tuesday after school. Ms. T and Ms. Ashley were impressed with how respectful and excited the girls were to learn some cheers.
All of our beginning-of-year testing has been completed, so our students and teachers know what skills need to be worked on to show growth. Please remember, the goal is to master the TEKS in each grade level. That will look different for each student as some pick up skills more quickly than others. I encourage you to work with your teacher and child to see where you can help at home.
Our World’s Finest Chocolate Fundraiser is going strong! Our kiddos and families are amazing salespeople. Keep up the excellent work. All money and boxes will be due October 28th.
With the changing seasons, comes some illnesses. We appreciate you keeping us informed when your child is out sick. Hopefully, we are on the mend and the three day weekend helped everyone recover.
Red Ribbon Week is next week. The dress up days have been posted on our website along with a note that was sent home this week. Leo the Lion will visit TES next Wednesday!
I cannot wait to see the pumpkins for the Tiger Media Pumpkin Contest. All decorated pumpkins can be turned in the elementary office on Monday for judging. Instructions went home last week.
As you can tell, your kiddos and our staff are BUSY learning and having fun. Thanks for all you do to help us make Tenaha great. “
