TES High Five
September 27, 2024
1. Arrival and Dismissal: Now that we are 1 month into school and everyone is adjusting well to routines, we are hoping to adjust some practices during arrival and dismissal. It would be extremely helpful if parents/family members stayed IN their cars when dropping off and picking up students. Unfortunately, the longer that adults are out of their cars the longer that everyone else needs to wait. Have your child sit on the driver's side, and ready to get out when you pull up for arrival. It is a great practice to have your children learn how to buckle and unbuckle themselves as well. They are way more capable than we think sometimes!
2. Pumpkin Patch: Students will walk to the common on October 8th for our annual pumpkin picking event. The rain date will be October 9th. Students will need to bring a sturdy bag to hold their pumpkin!
3. School Banking: Athol Savings Bank will be hosting the school banking program again this year. This program is for K-4th grade students, with some grade 4 students as tellers. More banking information was sent home last week. The first day of school banking will be Tuesday, October 1st.
4. Meadow Farms Fundraiser: TEMPLETON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is running a fundraiser, and we need your help! We're working with Meadow Farms Fundraising. This fundraiser helps our TES PTO fund field trips, community events, and enrichment activities. Packets will go home on Monday, September 30th. Sale runs from 10/2-10/29.
