T.H.E. Trail Guide

We are writing to inform you about an important safety measure we will be implementing at Tehaleh Heights. To enhance the safety and cleanliness of our campus, we will be installing a fence around our grass field the week of January 27, 2025. This decision was made to address several concerns related to both student safety and the overall upkeep of our school environment.

One of the key reasons for this change is to encourage students and families to use the designated sidewalks for traveling to and from Tehaleh Heights. We have observed instances of cars parking and driving on the grass area, which not only creates safety concerns but also damages the infrastructure of the field. By installing the fence, we hope to better guide foot traffic and encourage everyone to stay within the designated walkways.

Another important factor in this decision is the growing presence of elk droppings on our campus. These droppings pose significant health risks if they are tracked into the building, as they may contain harmful bacteria and parasites. The new fence will help reduce the likelihood of droppings being brought inside, ensuring a cleaner and safer environment for our students, staff, and families. Additionally, the fence will help students stay within the safe, designated areas of the campus, further promoting safety.

We believe that this fence will provide a safer and more hygienic space for all, and we appreciate your understanding as we take these necessary steps to protect our school community.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out.

Thank you for your continued support as we work to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.
