Principal's Message
Dear Eagles,
It is hard to believe that another calendar year is ending and half of this school year has passed. As a reminder, first-semester grades will be reported through the Infinite Campus parent portal beginning January 6, 2025. Please take the time to review your student's grades with them so you can celebrate their achievements so far and set goals for the remainder of the months ahead. Additionally, students completed their second iReady Diagnostic before heading into the break. Please click the link below for directions on how to access both grades and iReady results.
S'More- Report Cards & iReady Scores
We understand that for many this time of year and this break is exciting and fun. But for some, it is a struggle for a variety of reasons. Please know that our district provides support to our students and families through Care Solace. Contact information for Care Solace is at the bottom of this and every newsletter we send out.
On behalf of the TLES Staff, I would like to wish our entire TLES community a happy and healthy Winter Break. We look forward to seeing students back at school on Tuesday, January 7, 2025!
Sincerely,
Lani Russi
Principal, TLES
Pick Up and Drop Off Safety Reminders
Do not park or block the red zones in the parking lot or the street. This impedes traffic and causes a dangerous situation for our students and traffic control staff. Parking or idling in the crosswalks is also a safety hazard and violates traffic laws.

2025/2026 Intradistrict Transfer Open Enrollment Window is Now Open
The Intradistrict Transfer Open Enrollment Window for the upcoming 2025/2026 school year, including Summit Academy, opened Monday, October 14, 2024. Transfer requests can be completed and submitted via the District's website (https://www.tvusd.k12.ca.us/transfers).
Important Details
- Submission Deadline: The window opened on Monday, October 14, 2024, and will remain open until January 31, 2025.
- Continuing Transfers: If your child is already on an approved transfer and will continue to attend the same school during the 2025/2026 school year, there's no need to submit a new transfer request. New requests are only required if you wish to change schools.
- New Transfers: If you would like your child to attend a school other than your school of residence based on your current address, please be sure to submit a transfer request during the Open Enrollment Transfer Window.
- Transitioning to Middle and/or High School: The transition from elementary to middle school and/or from middle school to high school is not based on a previous/current school of attendance; it is solely based on primary residence address. If you plan on having your child attend a middle school or high school other than your school of residence, be sure to submit a transfer request prior to January 31, 2025.
- New to/or not currently attending a TVUSD School: You may submit a transfer request during the Open Enrollment Window for the 2025/2026 school year even if your child is not currently enrolled in a TVUSD school. If your child is new to TVUSD during the 2025/2026 school year, additional eligibility information must be submitted (after the first semester report card).
- Equal Consideration: All timely submissions received during the Open Enrollment Transfer Window will be given equal consideration. Consideration will be based on space availability at the requested school and meeting the District’s transfer eligibility criteria.
- We anticipate notifying parents/guardians of the transfer decision, either by email or by mail, using the addresses provided on the application, no later than May 2025.
