What a spirited week at Timber Trail this week! RCHS visited the school on Wednesday to include the feeder elementary students in their Pep Rally. The band and cheerleaders helped our students get excited about their upcoming Homecoming. We hope to see some Timberwolves at the parade tonight!

We are excited to share details about our upcoming Book Fair!

The Book Fair will be held in our Library beginning Monday, October 7th through Friday, October 11th during Conference Week. There will be a morning event for families before school on Wednesday, October 9th. There will also be an evening event on Thursday, October 10th from 4:00-7:00 pm. Hopefully, one of these events will work for you to attend with your child. More details will come as we get closer.

Students will have preview time during their regularly scheduled Library classes during the school day.

Here are ways you can prepare for the week of the Book Fair now:

Book Fair Page for parents:

TTE Book Fair - Parents/Teachers

There is a link down the page to set up e-wallets, sign up for Scholastic emails, etc.

Payment options will include credit cards or you can set up an e-wallet with Scholastic (directions included in the link above.) No cash will be accepted.

Please note that the e-wallet is a great way to pre-fund an account for your child, but there will not be any refunds. Any funds remaining after the Book Fair on the e-wallet account can be used for online shopping or held until the next Scholastic Book Fair.

If you are interested in volunteering in the Book Fair, please contact the volunteer coordinator Dawn Medina at twoshea815@gmail.com.

We look forward to seeing you at the Book Fair. View the flyer here.

Please see this important letter regarding the upcoming Bond & Mill that will be in this years election. The letter contains information for how the Bond & Mill would benefit Timber Trail.

View the poster here with additional details.

How do I update my emergency contact information?

Log into the Infinite Campus Parent Portal and click on the “person” icon in the top right-hand corner of the page. Navigate to “Contact Preferences” and review your contact information. If you see an incorrect phone number or email, please update it in Infinite Campus, or contact the registrar at your child’s school to request an update.

What phone number will my caller ID show when I get emergency calls?

NOTE: We have transitioned to a different system this year, so the phone number has changed!

When you receive emergency communication from the DCSD Finalsite system, the number displayed will be:

• Emergency Notifications (critical communications)

• 855-269-0502 (you may wish to add this number to your contacts)

Have additional questions?

Should you have additional questions, please contact the IT Support Center (303-387-0001) to ensure you receive emergency notifications accurately and quickly.

Parents/Guardians: Read more about updating your contact preferences.

We are excited for our annual fundraiser on October 4th! PTO shared details of our upcoming Timberwolf Trot in their newsletter Wednesday, and flyers came home in Thursday folders yesterday. Please view the PTO Newsletter here for reference.

Thank you so much for your participation to help the Timberwolves get a much needed new gym floor!

Battle of the Books - starting October 3rd for Grades 3-5!

What is it? A game show style battle between local elementary schools, hosted by Douglas County Library. The students work as a team to answer questions about the books they've read!

Where is it? Weekly book clubs/practices will be held after school at Timber Trail. Timber Trail will have two teams: a 5th grade team and a 3rd/4th grade team. The teams will meet separately but both meetings will occur on Thursdays from 3:30-4:30pm at Timber Trail. Meetings will start on Thursday, October 3rd. Battles are held in January and February at the Castle Rock Library. Dates and times TBD.

What's required? A list of 10 books has been published for each team by the library. The kids will be expected to read one book a week prior to their book club meeting and bring 10 questions about the book to try and stump their teammates! It sounds intense- but if your kiddo likes to read it is a great program.

How to sign up? Email bethmartin09@gmail.com with your child's name, teacher, best contact for parents (phone and email), and any food allergies.

We are still looking for a couple more volunteers to help with this year's team!
