The August TaylorNews Letter

Dear TRES Families,

As I begin this journey as the new Principal of Taylor Road Elementary, I am truly excited and grateful to become part of the TRES family. I look forward to building relationships with our students, families, and community and creating an amazing school year together. Our official first day is Monday, August 24, 2026, and I cannot wait to see our Tornadoes walk through the doors rested, smiling, and ready to learn, grow, and make new memories! 🌪️💜💛

Please look for weekly updates and our monthly TaylorNews Letter featuring upcoming events, academic activities, celebrations, procedures, and other important information.

📌 Important Family Reminders

• 🎒 Check your child’s bookbag each evening for important school information.

• 🚗 All families picking up students must display the appropriate colored placard:

• Pink – Exceptional Needs Students

• Yellow – Kindergarten

• Blue – 1st Grade

• Green – 2nd Grade

• Orange – 3rd Grade

• Purple – 4th Grade

• Turquoise – 5th Grade

• 💗 Exceptional Needs students will be picked up and dropped off curbside, no farther than Door 16.

• 🚙 All other car riders will use the designated parking lot arrival and dismissal area, not the front of the building.

🚪 Dismissal Door Assignments

Walkers and crosswalk students 🚶 will exit through the back of the building.

• 1st Grade: Door 9

• 3rd & 5th Grade: Door 4

• 5th Grade: Students who have Gym class at the end of the day will exit through the cafeteria at Door 10, located at the back of the building.

Thank you for your patience, partnership, and support as we establish our routines for a safe and smooth start to the school year. We cannot wait to welcome all of our Taylor Road Tornadoes on Monday!

Let’s make it a great year! 🌪️💜💛
