On Friday, February 21st, at 3:30 PM in the Large Gym, 8th-grade basketball players will take on our faculty in this exciting tradition.

Student Council needs your help! They are collecting pre-packaged, nut-free snacks (chips, Rice Krispie Treats, soft pretzels, etc.) and drinks (juice boxes, mini water bottles) for their fundraiser to support the 8th-grade gift, Hershey Park trip, and other activities. All donations must be nut-free and commercially prepared with ingredient labels.

Drop off donations to Room 224 by the morning of February 21st. Let us know what you’ll donate by completing the form on the TEMS Student Council Schoology page. This helps plan any additional necessary purchases for the event. Here is the LINK to the form for your convenience. 

Thank you for supporting this cherished tradition and our students!

-Please encourage your student to eat breakfast or remind them that everyone has access to free breakfast once they arrive at school. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day as it fuels their bodies & minds. If they are running late or not much of a breakfast eater, please put an extra snack or bar in their lunch.

-The nurse’s office would greatly appreciate any donations of pretzels or animal crackers in PLASTIC containers (think BJ’s, Costco or bulk packaging) versus bags please. More kids than ever have been coming in requesting snacks.

-Reminder: all 6^th graders are required have a physical exam & all 7^th graders are required to have a dental exam within the last year on file in the nurse’s office. Email reminders will be going out in the next few weeks ONLY to those who we do not have. If you get an email from the nurse, please upload your student’s most recent physical or dental documentation to Power School or email to coaryl@tesd.net.

-The Student Health Services page on the TESD district site under departments has been updated. Please look there for guidance about when to keep your student home from school, immunizations, medication administration at school & other health related information.
