Dear TTE Families,
First of all I want to thank you for taking the time each week to read our
email blasts. We know how busy everyone is, so our goal is to make
these emails informative and timely. We will be archiving the blasts on
our TTE website under the "Email Blast" tab.
What a wonderful first week of school it has been. There is so much
positive energy in the building and lots of smiling faces everywhere you
look. Many of us have said that this is the best start to a school
year we have ever had.
I want to thank each of you for your part in creating this feeling.
Arrival and dismissal are going very smoothly. Thank you for pulling up
all the way in the car line :) Arrival is one of my favorite parts of
the day as I get to see and greet our students. Many stop to share the
fun things that are happening at school and home.
I also want to thank TTEA for all they have done this first week. It
began with lunch last Friday, The fun continues with a breakfast bar tomorrow, and snacks all week in the teacher's lounge.
Thank you again for your support of our staff and students. You are the
reason that Timber Trail is the school "Where Hearts and Minds
Connect". Have a wonderful weekend.

LIGHTNING 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.
ATTENDANCE-24 HR LINE 303.387.5702
Please call our 24 hr. attendance line prior to 8:30 am to report any absence or late arrival.
END OF DAY MESSAGES/BUS DEPARTURE
Please limit end of day messages to emergencies/last minute change in plans.
Please call Timber Trail Elementary prior to 3:00 pm. It is difficult for the
buses to depart on schedule if we delay their departure by pulling
students off the bus.
PARKING LOT AND EMERGENCY RESPONDERS
The entrance to the parking lot needs to remain passable at all times.
This is a safety concern for Timber Trail. Emergency personnel must be
able to enter and exit the parking lot. PLEASE do not enter the
parking lot if there is not room for a car to pass on the left side.
Do not block the entrance. The waiting line of cars should stay as far to
the right side as possible in the parking lot to allow emergency
responders to pass in case of an emergency and to allow others to enter
and exit parking spaces.
We are teaching "The Six Pillars of Character" to your children. Please lead by example.
Trustworthiness* Respect* Responsibility* Fairness* Caring* Citizenship
PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON BRISTLEWOOD AND DEER CLOVER WAY
Please be aware of parking restrictions on Bristolwood Drive, the street
directly to the east of TTE. Parking is limited or restricted in various
areas. These restrictions are noted by signs or red curbs. If you are
dropping off your student on Bristolwood, please let them out onthe west
side of Bristolwood, the side closest to school. There is nota
crosswalk on Bristolwood and students are often running across the
street in front of cars and buses.
Also, just a reminder that once Bristolwood enters The Crossings
neighborhood, it becomes a private street. Please do not use
Bristolwood as a shortcut from or to Monarch or park on the streets.
Thanks so much for your help as we work hard to keep our students safe
while being good neighbors with the residents of The Crossings.
Parking Restrictions on Deer Clover Way
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.
NAMES IN BACKPACKS, JACKETS AND LUNCH BOXES
Please take a moment to write your child's first and last names in their lunch
boxes, backpacks and coats. Our Lost & Found basket is already
full! If names are written in these items, we will make sure they are
returned to their rightful owner as soon as possible.
DOGS ON SCHOOL PROPERTY
