INCLEMENT WEATHER PROCEDURE

Douglas County School District takes the safety of our students, staff, parents and community members extremely seriously. For the most accurate and up-to-date school closure or delayed schedule information, please call the Douglas County School District's

IN THE EVENT OF A DELAYED START 

Timber Trail Elementary's start time is 10:00 am (10:05 am tardy bell), with a drop off time starting at 9:50 am.  Bus routes are on a 90 minute delayed schedule. Morning enrichment classes  are canceled.  Child care (B.A.S.E.) is also on a 90 minute delayed start. Dismissal time does not change with a delayed start.  This means that morning kindergarten will still dismiss at 11:30 am.  Afternoon kindergarten will begin at their regular time of 12:30 pm.  All students will dismiss at 3:30 pm.

As always, safety comes first.  If parents choose to keep children home for safety concerns, we will respect that decision. Please call the Attendance Line at 303.387.5702 if your child will not be in class.

**REMINDER-PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD IS DRESSED APPROPRIATELY FOR WINTER WEATHER**

BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION and LABELS FOR EDUCATION -DUE FEBRUARY 23!

Timber Trail receives 10 cents for every Box Top submitted! Last year, we raised over $1500 for our school, just by clipping Box Tops. The classroom that has collected the most Box Tops, wins a pizza party!  Start clipping and saving those Box Tops.

We will be starting a new campaign to collect Labels for Education - these "points" can be exchanged for various items our school could use - from basketballs to paint supplies to iPads! Labels can be found on over 2,500 foods and snacks that you already use, including Campbell's soup, V8, Goldfish, Emerald nuts, Pepperidge Farm cookies and Dannon yogurts and more.

CMAS/PARCC TESTING SCHEDULE FOR GRADES 3, 4, 5

Click HERE for TTE’S TESTING SCHEDULE

CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) This is Colorado’s standards-based assessment designed to measure the Colorado Academic Standards. Grades 4, 5.

PARCC (Partnerships for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) is a multi-state assessment consortium that is developing shared English language arts (ELA) and mathematics assessments. Grades 3, 4, 5.

It is important that students are present and on time on the days of testing.  Please avoid scheduling trips and appointments for you child during this time.  Also, be sure that your child is well rested and has a good breakfast on testing days.

BOOK SWAP COLLECTION THROUGH MARCH 5th

In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday week, we are having a school Book Swap on Friday, March 6th! Perhaps your child may have outgrown or lost interest in some gently used books in your home? Please consider donating them to our first Book Swap! We will have collection bins in the TTE library.

On March 6th all students will be able to pick a book to keep!              

Please go through your books and have your child bring in one (or many!) gently used books for the Book Swap.  On March 6th, every child will choose one book regardless of how many he/she donates.  With past experience at another school, we are generally low on books for the older grades, so please keep (appropriate) adult and reference books in mind too!
