TES Monthly Newsletter
Welcome Back!!
The office will be fully staffed beginning July 22nd to answer any questions you may have or to register your student. Office hours are 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM.
New students to TES will need to register on campus (prior to the first day of school). If you are a new student, please bring the following:
Proof of Residency (Utility bill or lease agreement)
Birth Certificate
Social Security Card
Shot Record
Parent/Guardian identification (Driver’s License)
Pre-K Students will need income statements or benefit information to qualify
Online Registration
Instead of doing the big paper packet at the beginning of the school year, we will be doing all registration and paperwork online this school year. Online registration is due August 1st to provide us the necessary information to make class list calls. If the online registration is complete, students will find out who their teacher will be on August 7th or 8th! You will not receive an introductory phone call until online registration is complete.
Here is the link for Skyward Family Access and some instructions to complete the registration.
If you need any assistance, please call the front office at 254-739-1350!

First Day Procedures
Lunch Appointments
There are only two slots available to each day since space is limited. If there are no availabilities for your child's grade level on that day, you will have to choose a different day to come visit. Due to the set up of the program, the appointment times don't match up perfectly with the actual lunch time schedule.
Transportation Changes
If you need to change your child's transportation, you will need to send an email to testransportation@teagueisd.org OR a handwritten letter with your student to school. All transportation changes are cut off promptly at 2:45 to ensure we communicate the change properly.
Communication
If you have Facebook, please go follow our page - Teague Elementary School TISD. Always be sure that your contact information is up to date in Skyward. Our communication system will pull your numbers and emails directly from Skyward. If you aren't recieving our text messages, text 67587 to opt in!
Attendance Incentives
Communication with TES is critical! Doctor's notes and parent excuse notes need to be provided to the front office upon your child's return to school. Each student is only allowed 3 parent excuse notes per semester. After those 3, the absences will be recorded as unexcused.
This year, we are going to be offering some rewards to our students with regular attendance!
At the end of semester, every student that has no more than 2 attendance changes (i.e. tardy, absent or left early) will get a special reward!
