News From the Ranch

Dear TRE Family,

It's hard to believe that this week concludes quarter 1 of the 2025-2026 school year. Students have been hard at work building mathematical understanding, deepening their knowledge of reading and writing, and improving their skills to collaborate and communicate with their peers. Our cool coyotes should be proud of all they have accomplished thus far.

As a reminder, we have NO SCHOOL on Tuesday (11/11) in observance of Veterans' Day.
