Dear TLES Community,
As we continue through this school year, we wanted to take a moment to express our deep gratitude for the exceptional support and care that defines our community. Time and time again, whether in times of need or during moments of hardship, our families, parents and guardians step up to support each other in the most heartwarming ways.
It is truly remarkable how quickly our community comes together when there is a need—whether it's providing resources, offering a helping hand, or simply showing care for others. The generosity and kindness you show reflect the very best of what a community should be, and we are beyond appreciative of the unwavering dedication you have to one another. A special thanks to the TLES PTA who immediately jumps in to communicate, assemble teams of volunteers and respond with resources whenever a need may arise.
There is something incredibly special about how our families lift each other up during challenging times, and it does not go unnoticed. The strength, compassion, and care that you all demonstrate create an environment where everyone within the TLES community feels supported, valued, and loved.
We are fortunate to be part of such a thoughtful, kind, and responsive community. Your actions remind us daily that together, we can face anything, and that each act of care—big or small—makes a profound difference.
Thank you for all you do. We are so grateful for your continued support and for the positive impact you make in the lives of our children and families. We are proud to have such a wonderful community and are honored to work alongside each of you.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Ben Chiet, Sarah Buchanan & Ashley Vaccaro

Door #1 and Door #2 will open at 5:30 and we will have teams supporting our students as they showcase Reading, Math and Science activities each in three classrooms per grade level. Please visit ALL three designated classrooms per grade level! Families will walk away with a game or activity that supports Reading, Math and Science at home! Dinner will be provided between 5:30-7:00, so you can grab a meal at any time as you enjoy visiting multiple classrooms throughout the building. We hope ALL FAMILIES can join us for a BIG night of learning and fun!!! |
 TLES Families: We’d call this the best opportunity to get involved with your child's education! The TLES VIP Program is an awesome opportunity to volunteer at TLES, support your child's classroom and across multiple areas of the school. All parents, guardians, aunts, uncles, grandparents and other family members are encouraged to participate. Please click the link above to access the slideshow and clickable video (within the slideshow) to learn more about this great program and the impact your involvement has on your child(ren).
We do have one request for future visitors - please sign up at least 72 hours in advance of your visit in order for us to communicate your visit with our teachers way ahead of time. We want to ensure that on the day you select to visit that the teacher will not have testing, meetings pulling them from the classroom or other events conflicting with your time in our classrooms. This will ensure you are visiting at the ideal time. :)
