Happy creating - we can't wait to see our students’ designs!
Deck the Doors for the Holidays - Fri, December 6 at 4pm

Sign up to decorate a door (or two or three!) at ttsu.me/deck-the-doors, or donate extra decorations for unclaimed doors. You'll receive a list and map of available doors upon arrival on decorating day. Please bring your own decorations, tape, scissors, and any supplies you’ll need. Kids are welcome to join, but they must remain under direct parent supervision. Let’s make the season bright for our students, staff, & teachers!

Lost & Found Items
If your child is missing a water bottle, coat, sweatshirt, hat, or similar item, please encourage them to check the school's lost and found rack located in the main lobby. You’re also welcome to contact the office to check for a specific item yourself.
After November 22nd, all items will be boxed up and stored until April. Any unclaimed items after that time will be donated.
Volunteer Clearances
You must submit your volunteer clearances to the elementary school office before you can be approved to assist with in-school volunteer opportunities like field trips, Race for Education, and the Fourth Grade Picnic. Download the clearance packet at bsespto.com/parents. We can help if you have questions about the process!
