Mr. Jonas (6th Grade Math), has adorned TLES with stimulating brain boosters and Math problems around the building and outside on some of our sidewalks near our main entrances.  Pictured above, a student waits for her buddy in the hallway and demonstrates her mathematical thinking! :)


Updates from the Admin Team

Hello TLES Families,

We had an incredible week of learning at TLES, where our students dedicated themselves to sharpening their reading, writing, math, science and social studies skills. As we visit all of our classrooms throughout the building, we're consistently impressed by students creativity, focus and work habits.  That's quite the compliment for only being five weeks into the school year - a true testament to the quality of teachers here at TLES and our amazing student community!

Monday, September 23rd marks our first 3-Hour Early Release Day of the year. We appreciate your understanding as we adjust to this new schedule. Together, we'll tackle any challenges that arise and ensure a smooth transition!

Thank you,

TLES Administration

Ben Chiet, Sarah Buchanan, Ashley Vaccaro

This is a great opportunity to stock up on some fall and winter essentials, or buy a gift for a friend! Their inventory is adorable, and updates regularly.
