TES Weekly Newsletter for the week of August 24-28, 2026
This Week's Cafe Menus
Specials Schedule
Car Riders
Please refrain from coming to the front doors to pick up your child. Instead, please join the car line. This keeps the front door area clear for students to know which station to go to for pickup and helps faculty and staff keep a watchful eye on the students while around cars. Thanks for helping to keep our students safe!
Dress Code- PE
Please remember to have your child wear tennis shoes on Mondays and Thursdays for their safety. We've already had a few turned ankles thanks to cute little sandals. Thank you!
Basketball Tryouts
Please remember that basketball tryouts are this Monday, August 24th. They will be in the TES gym from 4:30-5:30pm. Students will not be allowed to stay after school, as there will not be adult supervision. Please remember that students cannot tryout without a physical and these are closed tryouts. Thank you!
Cheer Information
Free and Reduced Lunch
Families may apply for free or reduced meals by completing a free or reduced lunch application. You can do so online using the link below (the fastest method), or you may complete a paper application (available in the TES office). Families must re-apply each year, unless you were "Directly Certified" previously. Guidelines for qualifying are described in the link below.
My School Bucks
For cafeteria payments. Click on image for more information.
Water Bottles
At TES, we DO allow water bottles in the classroom. Please be sure that your child's name is on the water bottle that he/ she brings each day. Water bottles should have WATER ONLY in them. Flavored water is NOT ACCEPTABLE due to its stickiness when spilled. Thank you for your understanding!
Absences and Notes
While we know that there are times your child will miss school, please remember to turn in either a parent note asking for them to be excused or a doctor's note. This will help to keep your family out of truancy trouble, and it's much easier to keep up with them as you go instead of having to go back to get notes. Thank you!
Heritage Football Tickets
Heritage High School wants its future students to learn about Mountaineer Pride even now! Their athletic department is going to give us student tickets for three home games: August 21st against Clinton, September 18th against Fulton, and Friday, October 23rd against Gibbs. All games start at 7pm. We'll send the tickets home each Friday that our students are receiving the free tickets.
Author Visit
Author Rebecca George will be here THIS Friday, August 28th! Students can purchase her book for 25% off through this Wednesday. See the flier for more information!
