Happy Sunday Tornillo PK-8 Students & Parents!

What a busy but great week we just concluded. I want to take time to honor and recognize all our wonderful grandparents today on Grandparent's Day. We love and thank all our grandparents for their wisdom, kindness, values, and love that you show our students every day. Thank you for serving as positive role models in the lives of our students and our community. May this Grandparent's Day be filled with love and appreciation!

Campus Attendance

We take a lot of pride in our attendance at Tornillo PK-8. Please help us maintain it at 98%! September is Attendance Awareness Month and in order to help promote our attendance, our students are encouraged to dress-up every Wednesday. For this Wednesday, students are encouraged to dress in red, white, & blue in observance of September 11 Remembrance. You can find the Attendance Dress-Up day descriptions at the end of our newsletter.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to help.
