This last week we had an Eco Hero Assembly where many of our students attended and learned about recycling and reducing waste in Placer County. Not only was it educational but it was a really fun time!

Registration for the 2024-2025 school year is open! Current TK students DO NOT need to register for Kindergarten (they will automatically be enrolled). Only NEW students need to register. IF your student will not be returning to TBE next year, please let us know ASAP so that we have accurate numbers for next year.

If you have questions or need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out. We look forward to getting to know your families this school year.

DEADLINE for February BIRTHDAYS is JANUARY 25th!

See Your Child's Name in LIGHTS on our Electronic Marquee!!!

For only $10 you can add your student's name to our marquee for the day of their birthday...and you're welcome to take a picture of them with the sign as well.

How to sign up?

Payment: Square App CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE BIRTHDAY MARQUEE MESSAGE

IF YOUR CHILD'S BIRTHDAY IS OVER A WEEKEND PLEASE INDICATE WHAT DATE YOU WANT THE MESSAGE ON (THE FRIDAY BEFORE OR THE MONDAY AFTER THEIR BIRTHDAY...ENTER THAT DATE AS THEIR DATE OF BIRTH).

YOU MUST PURCHASE BY THE 25TH OF THE MONTH. (i.e. if your student's birthday is on February 25th you would need to order and pay for their message by January 25th in order for their message to be included. We are excited to be able to add this as a special thing for our students.

Next time you drive by the school, check out the marquee for all the messages!

If your student is going to be out of town and absent from school for a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 14 days, you will need to inform the front office of this absence no later than five school days prior to leaving (the more time the better).

Once the office has been informed, they will email you a travel study contract to electronically sign. The teacher will be notified of the absence and will put together all of the class work they will miss.

Teachers are very busy getting together needed work, so please be patient and give ample time before going on vacation.

Please remember there is no drop-off or pick up at the side gate unless you are in the designated classes that have been allowed to use it. No parking or stopping along the curb that is alongside the park. It only takes 10 minutes to get through the driveline. Avoid the hassle of parking by the park and use the driveline! Please help us alleviate traffic congestion by not driving all the way down by the park and then to the multi as parking there is very limited and creates issues with us being able to safely cross students and keep traffic flowing smoothly.

Our local police department has been citing people who are not following traffic laws. On the corner of Eastridge and Twelve Bridges Drive please pull along the curb if you are waiting in the driveline and do NOT block traffic that is trying to make the right hand turn off of Twelve Bridges onto Eastridge (keep the last 20 feet from the corner clear - see picture below).

Below that picture is a message from LPD that they released on Thursday regarding golf carts and NEVs.

Parents,

Please make sure to remind your students to be careful as they travel to and from school. We have had several close calls with the busy traffic in the neighborhoods. Please also remind your students to wear a helmet if they are coming to school by bike or scooter. We want to make sure are students stay safe!

The official Twelve Bridges spirit wear store has launched a back-to-school sale! Choose from hundreds of designs and garments, all with home delivery!

IMPORTANT HEALTH REMINDER

With the change in weather it seems cold and flu season is now upon us. This is a friendly reminder that if your student has a fever of 100.5 or has thrown up, they must stay home until they are fever free and haven't thrown up, without medication, for at least 24 hours. Thanks for helping us keep staff and students healthy!

We are so excited to welcome back volunteers on campus! We look forward to seeing you.

Some important reminders on what is needed in order to volunteer in the classroom or on fieldtrips.

You need:

- Have a negative TB test on file (bring proof to office) within the last 4 years

- Be live scanned through the district office (this only has to be completed once and lasts forever with WPUSD).
