IMPORTANT ATTENDANCE NOTIFICATION UPDATE
We are excited to share our new attendance email address with parents! If your child will be absent or late, please use this email address as a notification to the office so we can excuse your child. Please use the email listed below only (not our personal work email address), and the teacher email if you would like. This email group address will notify the appropriate office staff members to ensure we can excuse the child(ren) if one person is out at meetings (or for any other reason) and not checking their work email address for a day away.
You can email for your convenience, or if you prefer to leave a voicemail, you can call the 24-hour Attendance Line.

HOLIDAY GIVING PROGRAM
In years past, the PTO has organized a wonderful Holiday Giving Program for the staff at TTE. Please see this fact sheet so you know the details of this tradition. The staff appreciates this more than can be expressed.
If you do not have a Red Envelope (for any reason) and would like to send something in for staff, you can use a regular envelope and write "Red Envelope" on the sealed envelope with the staff sheet (linked here) completed to return to the office for your convenience.

PLAYGROUND SNOW GEAR AND RULES
After discussing playground rules for snowy days, we've established the following guidelines to ensure consistency and safety for all grade levels:
- Snow pants and snow boots are required for students to access the field and pit when snow is present.
- No throwing snow at any time.
- Snowman building is permitted only on the field.
- No building structures or snowmen in the pit, as snow here takes too long to melt due to limited sunlight.
- Students are not allowed to climb large snow piles created by plowing next to the building, as these can become icy and hazardous.
Please discuss this with your child(ren) to help us with expectations for all students. We appreciate your support.
