Principal's Message 10/16/2026 Principal's Message 10/16/2026

Dear Big T Families,


It was a pleasure connecting with so many of you during parent-teacher conferences this week. We deeply value our partnership with you, and we are so grateful for your continued dedication and support in your child's education. As the saying goes, "Together, may we give children the roots to grow and the wings to fly."


Your insights and feedback are essential in helping us continuously grow and serve our school community. Please take a few moments to complete the Big T Climate and Culture survey—we would love to hear your thoughts!


We hope you have a wonderful, relaxing long weekend and enjoy the beautiful autumn weather. We look forward to welcoming students back on Monday!


With gratitude,


Sarah Walgast

Principal

* When your student is absent it is a good idea to reach out to their teacher to get work to do at home. However, still call the attendance line or email the office to excuse the absence. Teachers are busy and may not have time to let the office know that the absence was excused through them.



You can now excuse the absence through the parent portal if that is more convenient for you.


* If your student is absent due to an appointment, please get a medical note from the clinic and send it to the front office.


* Remember, if you need to change how your student normally goes home please call or email the office before 2:30 PM. bobbie.pastecki@tsd.org or 970-613-5600



* Please remember that toys are to remain at home. They can be a distraction in the classroom and there are tears if the toy disappears.


**Small lost and found items are usually kept at the office.
