School News and Information
Happy Friday, we have had another great week of school!
Students are dismissed early next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Elementary students are dismissed at 12:50 each day.
We will have our clap out for our 5th graders on Thursday, May 23, 2024. We will begin at 12:30 PM. The students will loop through the school and then make their way outside to the bus/vehicle loop.
-5th grade will come down the stairs, go through 2nd grade, 1st grade, library, kindergarten main entrance area, cafeteria, and out the bus loop doors.
-3rd and 4th graders will fill in from upstairs. They will line up in the library and toward kindergarten.
-Parents can line around the walking circle/track of the bus loop.
-Kids will do one lap, come in 2nd-grade doors, and head back up.
We will not allow cars in early on the last day of school. We will need to keep the gate closed so the students can finish their clap-out. After the 5th graders finish, we will open the gate for dismissal. Please plan accordingly.
Kramer Mile
Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our PTG/Kramer Mile. The students and teachers did a great job. It is not too late to donate.

Final Forms Update and Reminder
TSD will prompt parents in the first week of August to begin updating their child's school forms for the 2024-25 school year. We know sometimes parents begin doing this early, but it's important to wait for the prompt from the district, as some forms will be changing for next school year. The updates will be made in July after all of the summer programs are completed.
