Weekly Communication for TES Families

January is “Bee Growing” month. This month, the staff is looking for growth of the students in the following categories:
- Effort (academic or behavior)
- Progress (data or observed)
- Positive self-talk/growth mindset
- Flexible thinking
The students are doing a great job: each leaf is a student that has been recognized for their growth in the above areas. We will continue this focus next week also!
Nice work, Miner Bees!

URGENT~ Update Emergency Contacts: Ensure Your Child's Safety
|
TSD Families,
As we begin the new year, it is essential that all parents and guardians review and update their emergency contact information. In the event of a snow day, emergency, or unexpected situation, we cannot release students to anyone who is not listed as an approved emergency contact. We suggest having at least 3 contacts on file and check the field "school pickup".
Please take a moment to verify that your contact details and designated individuals are up to date. You can update this information by following the instructions below:
- Logging into PowerSchool
- Navigate to “Forms” on the left-hand side of the screen
- Then select “Form A – Demographics and Student Contacts”
- Under “Student and Family Contacts” is where you can add, remove, and update emergency contacts.
- Once your contacts have been updated, please click “Submit” at the bottom of the page.
If you have questions or need help accessing your account, please reach out to your school’s administrative assistant.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter. Keeping your information current ensures we can respond quickly and appropriately to any situation for the safety and well-being of all students!

General Information
To participate in each Winter PE program your child must arrive at school on time. Parents and students should consider Winter PE a regular school day. Attendance and punctuality are expected. Attendance will be taken promptly at 8:10 am. Be early and allow extra time. Students start and end their day in the classroom. They may NOT be picked up early from the ski area. Any student who arrives at school unprepared will not be allowed to participate. If a student is ILL, they should stay home. Please notify the office by 8:00.
Unloading your Child’s Equipment
Mark all equipment with your child’s name. Duct Tape and Sharpie work best.
KG~ all skis are to be dropped off and checked in with a Staff member. Kindergarten skis will go into specific ski group duffle bags. Your student will come to school with their ski boots on and enter through the basement. Check in with your teacher in the designated area of the basement for attendance.
1st Grade~ All skis dropped off in front of the school in the school ski truck. Staff will be available to assist. Drop boots off in a designated area outside of the gym on the 1st floor. Students will keep their poles with them and go to class for attendance.

Unfortunately, State regulations prevent skis from being transported on the bus. Please mark all equipment clearly with your child’s name so you will be able to easily identify it for pickup.
