Picture Retake Day
Picture Retake Day is on Friday, October 4th. If your child did not have their picture taken at Open House, we will send them down for a picture on this day. If you would like to have your child's picture taken again, please let their teacher know so we can add them to our list for photos that day.

Halloween
- TFE will be observing Halloween on Thursday, October 31st.
- We will have our annual progressive costume parade the afternoon of Halloween! Stay tuned for the time.
- Shopping for a Halloween costume? We want Halloween to be fun, not scary, and we have children as young as three in our school. Here are some guidelines we're asking you to observe so everybody can enjoy the day:
- No gore: Blood, guts, eyeballs hanging out, etc.
- Costumes should be in good taste and appropriate for our young school community.
- PLEASE don't send your child to school with an inappropriate costume. They will be required to change, and that's no fun for the student or Mr. Riebe!!
- No weapons of any kind should be brought to school- even fake weapons that are accessories to a costume (e.g. ninja swords, ray guns, battle axes, etc).
- No face paint or hair coloring spray- the custodians will already have a monumental cleaning task after the class parties!

Jason Riebe, Principal
Mr. Riebe lives with his wife of twenty years and four children (all of whom attend/ed TF Elementary) in Taylors Falls. On a weekend, you'll find him doing pretty much anything outside: Fishing with the kids, hiking, hunting, camping, or tinkering with a new woodworking project in the garage. He's an avid Boundary Waters explorer, North Shore adventurer, ardent angler, and is fond of weekend experiments on his smoker.
Fun facts about Mr. Riebe
- His right eye is two different colors. This is called heterochromia!
- The only food he can't (and won't) eat is green peppers.
- In college, he worked in orphanages in Mexico and the Republic of Trinidad.
- He and his wife once hiked in the Andes Mountains in Peru for 6 days.
- He loves birds!
