Tierrasanta Elementary Anuncios!

Attendance matters!!! If your child has an appointment please don't keep them out for the whole day. Bring them for the portion of the day they can attend to maximize their learning time and earn their attendance credit. Thank you!

Dear Tierrasanta Elementary Families,

Welcome back and Happy December! I hope you all had a wonderful break. We are now in week 16 of the school year. We have 3 weeks left until the end of the semester and the beginning of winter break and they are sure to go quickly! A big thank you for all of the generous donations for our school’s Food Drive! We were able to send a full truckload of food to Carver Elementary School to help make their week a little bit brighter. Way to Synergize Roadrunners!

Budget for the 2025-2026 school year will be released soon. Once again, we are anticipating budget cuts district wide. In preparation for that, we are gathering input from both staff and TES families. Please fill out the following Needs Assessment survey by Nov. 29th in order to provide input and help us make decisions around how to best support our students! Thank you!

School Supplies:

You are not required to purchase any supplies for school. Many parents ask however, if there is anything they can purchase for their child in class or for the classroom. Our teachers have compiled grade level lists of the items they recommend your child bring to school. You can find the lists here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oexoO8yFaev2_VR_p7BkLyCx2RXjIclx/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=113602026430230137633&rtpof=true&sd=true

School Lunch is free for all students. Students are also welcome to bring their own lunches from home if preferred. Please know that substitutions (although rare) can occur and that occasionally the cafeteria will run out of certain items/entrees. If your child is picky we recommend you always send a snack or have your child bring their own lunch.

Lunch Menus can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JOM20y_blJp0_B7n6dCw3OgHZvUrnWF4/view

Student Computers

• All incoming 3rd-5th grade students should have their devices at home with them over the summer (even exiting 5th graders) as devices now follow the student (to whatever district school they attend).

• Incoming K-2nd grade students will receive their computers once school starts (this process may take several weeks so please be patient)

• The Instructional Technology Department created the following resources for parents (links below)

• Please view this information on laptop care and digital citizenship with your children

• If your child is NOT returning to a school in our district please return their computers and chargers to the front office.
