Dear TLES Families,
We can't believe we've already wrapped up week five! As we hit the halfway point of the first quarter, it's a great time to reflect on the incredible learning and special moments we've shared. This week was no exception, filled with so much discovery and growth!
Our third graders kicked off their ladybug lifecycle unit with such excitement! We were so thrilled to have members from Superintendent Dr. Reid’s team visit Ms. Condro and Ms. Hardy’s classrooms to capture the magic of our students' engagement in these fascinating science lessons. It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the hands-on discovery happening right here at our school. Be on the lookout for our students, as the pictures and videos from this lesson will be featured by Dr. Reid in one of her future school board presentations!
Speaking of growth, we were so proud to see so many more students recognized through our ROAR referral system this week. As you may receive a call from Mr. Chiet this school year, we want to make sure you understand what a wonderful process this is! A ROAR Referral is essentially a "positive office referral" where students are recognized for being Respectful, Owning their actions, Advocating for themselves or others, and being Responsible.
The images below capture the sequence that is our ROAR Referral Process. We hope many of you enjoy this blast from the past - with pictures of some of our current 6th graders in these images taken a few years ago! :)
Please save the date and be on the look out for sign-ups for First Quarter Parent-Teacher conferences from your child's teachers! We want to ensure that every child's caregiver is able to connect with their child's teacher for a conference. Conferences may be held at any point, with many teachers choosing the November 3rd as our main conference day.
Thank you for your continued partnership. We are so proud of all the hard work and dedication our students and teachers show every day.
Warmly,
Ben Chiet, Principal
Sarah Buchanan, Assistant Principal

Participate in an Upcoming Community Boundary Review Meeting
As a reminder, FCPS will hold two sets of community boundary review meetings this fall — one in September and another in October. Each set of meetings will focus on two pyramids per meeting.
All September meetings will include an overview of where FCPS is in the comprehensive boundary review process, an update and opportunity for feedback on school start times, how community input is informing the process, and next steps in the boundary review process.
The meeting for our pyramid will be held [insert event information for your pyramid]. Please register by clicking “in person” or “virtual,” depending on how you would like to participate.
Child care for in-person participants and language interpretation/translation for all participants will be available as needed.
Visit the FCPS website for a full list of meeting dates and information about the October meetings.
