We are so grateful to have so many parents express an interest in serving on our School Site Council (SSC)!

An email with the link to vote went out to all TNT families last week. Click the linked School Site Council Ballot if you haven't voted yet. Voting closes end of day Monday, September 16.

To ensure a secure campus, we ask that all visitors check in at the front office.

2 Important Reminders About Our Closed Campus

1. From the Base side, only 1st-8th grade students may enter campus through the rolling gate. Families are to say goodbye outside the rolling gate and may not escort students to classrooms/Trekking Tigers.
2. If families have set up a before-school appointment to speak with teachers/staff or are scheduled to volunteer, we look forward to welcoming you on campus by checking in at the front office.

Our OUSD Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) team will be visiting North Terrace later this month to work with our 4th-8th graders!

They'll be leading classroom presentations that will focus on inclusion and belonging, helping students explore important topics like prejudice, discrimination, and slurs in a way that’s appropriate for their age—building a safe and supportive community where everyone feels valued.

Please remember the white curb is for quick loading and unloading only. Even one parked vehicle can cause safety and delay issues. If your child needs a bit more time, or if you'd like to walk them to the gate, please pull forward and use the visitor parking area.

This small step helps keep drop-off safe and speedy for everyone. Thanks for making mornings easier for our whole school community!
