Dear TTE Families,
Welcome
to the 2016-17 school year! This has been a busy week with beginning
of school, the Olympics and the Bronco game tonight. Yesterday we say a
lot of yawns throughout the building from both students and adults.
It
was nice to see so many of you at “Meet & Greet” last Friday. We
have had a great start to the year. Last week teachers returned on
Monday, August 1st for a week of professional development and time to
get ready for the year. Thanks to TTEA for providing lunch for the
staff on Tuesday and Friday last week.
Please
take time to read our weekly email blast. It will contain important
dates and information. We will also archive these emails on our TTE Website
under the “Email Blast” tab. I will be including personal notes and
updates throughout the year. You can also expect weekly communication
from your classroom teacher, along with their home page. The other
place to find information is on the Timber Trail Education Alliance (TTEA) website.
We look forward to seeing you next week for Curriculum Night(s). Each evening will begin in the gym at 6:00 pm. Teachers will meet with parents in their classrooms following our time in the gym. These nights are for parents only.
We are looking forward to a new year. Thanks again for your continued support.
Michele Radke, Principal
