Principal Message
Hello Tigers and family!
We’re already in the last week of November, and with December starting this Friday, that leaves a little more that 13 school days before Winter Break!
I’m so thankful for the opportunity to work and support the students and staff at Terraset ES. Mr. Ickowski has been the rock behind the school being in excellent shape. Please always tell him "Thank you” when you see him!
As we prepare for the Winter Break, don’t forget that the bookfair is taking place this week. Students have their schedules of when they are going to visit the library. Thank you to all the volunteers that are making the bookfair successful. This is a good time for parents to reinforce reading, and encourage your child to read daily during the break. Books are the gift that you can open again and again, and live the adventures in them.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please let us know.
Sincerely,
Sal Rivera
Interim Principal
