Important: Dress Code

 
Hello TTE familes,
 
With the warmer spring weather upon us, we want to remind you of TTE's Dress Code which is outlined below.  In particular, a reminder about the acceptable length for shorts, skirts, and dresses.  Our policy is that shorts/skirts/dresses must be as long as the tip of the student's finger tips when hands are down at their sides.  Our policy also states that shorts or tights be worn under skirts and dresses.  
 
If students come to school wearing attire shorter than our policy, a staff member or the student (depending on age) will make a call home to have appropriate clothing brought to school that the student can change into.  
 
A reminder that spaghetti straps must be covered with a shirt or sweater.  Also, off the shoulder tops are not allowed at school.
 
We ask that you spend a few moments going over TTE's Dress Code with your student.
 
Thank you for your help and support.
 
Michele Radke,
Principal

TIMBER TEAM SUPPORTS  "A PRECIOUS CHILD"
Timber Team needs your help! Did you know that according to the 2014 Kids Count in Colorado, 224,611 children live in poverty and 41.9% qualify for free or reduced lunch? We want to help this community by partnering with the organization, A Precious Child. In order to best support this organization, Timber Team invites TTE to participate in "A Precious Child Week Spirit Week." This will be like a traditional spirit week from April 20-23. Each day, students can participate in the different spirit week theme by either bringing in at least $1 and/or a requested supply. The organization's greatest needs are for the following supplies: gently used children's clothing, shoes, backpacks and school supplies, sporting equipment, and stuffed animals. They also request new socks, underwear, and diapers, as well as monetary donations. Any and all members of our TTE community are welcome to participate!
 
Our Timber Team representatives chose the following themes:
Monday, April 20- Dress Like a Teacher Day
Tuesday, April 21- Sport Jersey/Hat Day
Wednesday, April 22- Decade Day
Thursday, April 23- Crazy Hair Day and/or Beach Wear Day (no swim suits)
 
Thanks for helping out Timber Team with this important fundraiser!

SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR 2015-2016
Timber Trail Elementary offers the EduKit program as an option for our busy families to order supplies for the upcoming school year. The program is a time saving, simple way for you to ensure that your student has exactly the correct supplies needed to start the year off right. Avoid the back-to-school rush and going from store to store to get all of the required items. EduKit will take care of that for you.

Order by June 10 for best pricing and free shipping. Your child's kit will be on their desk the first day of school. To order:  
1. Go to www.edukitinc.com.
2. Type "Timber Trail" into the "Find Your School" field.
3. Pay online through EduKit's secure website.  
After June 10, kits may be purchased online through EduKit's Last Chance program until July 26. Last Chance kits will be delivered to your home shortly before school begins.
There is an additional fee for Last Chance kits.
Thank you for your participation in the EduKit program!

For families that prefer to purchase their own school supplies, lists can be found on the TTE website > Registration tab.
