HALLOWEEN PARTIES AND PARKING REMINDERS
Halloween is just around the corner.  All Halloween parties will be held Friday, October 30th.  Kindergarten, first, and second grades will have their parties in the morning, and third, fourth, and fifth grade parties will be in the afternoon. Your child's teacher will share specific information regarding their class's celebration with you.
Students are asked to bring a change of clothes in a bag clearly marked with their name. After the parties, students will change into their school clothes, and then it is business as usual for the rest of the day.
A reminder that no weapons or replicas of weapons are allowed as part of a costume. This includes guns, swords, knives, light sabers, etc. Also, no blood or gore at school. If you have a question regarding a costume, please contact your child's teacher.

Adult visitors must sign in at the front office and show a photo ID. We request that adult visitors do not wear costumes or masks.

With the parking restrictions on Bristolwood and Deer Clover Way cul-de-sac, please plan accordingly for parking during the Halloween parties.  We encourage carpooling or parking in adjacent neighborhoods. Just a reminder that the streets in the Village Homes development to the east of TTE (Bristolwood Dr. and Bristolwood Ln.) are private and parking is not allowed within that neighborhood. 
Please be aware of the "No Parking" signs and restrictions in the Deer Clover Way cul-de-sac.  Cars are not allowed to stop in the cul-de-sac to drop off or pick up students between 8:00-9:00 am and 3:00-4:00 pm
Please be mindful of where you are parking on the street so that you are not blocking a neighbor's drive. We appreciate your help with keeping our neighborhoods and streets safe for our students.                 

                                                   
CHECK THE LOST AND FOUND BEFORE OR AFTER THE HALLOWEEN PARTY!
Missing a jacket, sweatshirt or lunch box? Please check our Lost and Found area in the cafeteria.
