Talahi Family Bulletin

Hello Talahi Families,

Fall is in full swing, and the leaves aren't the only things changing! Our students are making fantastic progress, and I know you're eager to hear all about it. To help you stay connected with their learning journey, we're excited to announce Fall Family-Teacher Conferences happening on November 14th and 19th.

Mark your calendars! On October 23rd at 8:00 am, the online sign-up link for conferences will go live on our school website. You can access the sign-up through https://www.myconferencetime.com/tlc/. This is a great opportunity to discuss your child's progress with their teacher, set goals together, and ensure a successful school year. We look forward to partnering with you!

Thanks for all you do!

Mr. Court and Mr. Burks

Hello Talahi Families,

As we did last year, Talahi will not be celebrating Halloween at school with costumes or parties. We understand that Halloween is a popular holiday for many children and families. However, we also recognize that there are a variety of reasons why some families may not choose to celebrate Halloween. We want to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all students.

We will not be allowing students to wear costumes to school on Halloween. We also will not be passing out candy. Thank you for your understanding.

Sam Court, Principal
