Dear TTE Community,
Thank you all so much for your participation in Timber Team's spirit week fundraiser for the non-profit organization, A Precious Child.  Your enthusiastic generosity was greatly appreciated.  After the four days, you all raised over $1000 for A Precious Child!  The giving did not stop there, though!  After combining donated supplies with MSU's Denver Golden Key Honor Society, we brought in 385 pounds of items.  These combined monetary and supply donations resulted in almost $4500 for A Precious Child.  Thanks again for your support of Colorado children in need!

LIGHTNING DISMISSAL/DELAYED DISMISSAL 
In the event of unsafe weather conditions at Timber Trail, the
principal or designee will decide to delay dismissal. This is not
something we can plan in advance-often the decision is made 5-10
minutes before school ends. If it appears that the storm will be

brief, students will be kept in their classrooms and then proceed as
normal when the storm dies down. When lightning occurs at dismissal

time, students will be required to remain in the building until it is
safe. Buses will depart as soon as it is safe.

SUNSCREEN AND WARMER WEATHER 
Please remember to apply sunscreen to your child before school.  TTE
staff is not allowed to apply sunscreen. Don't forget to bring a water
bottle to school.  Hydration is key during our sunny days!

 

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.
