TeSA

TeSA Families,

Last week, we had the highest level of absences we've seen this year. Although we do not have any students sick with COVID, we do have a lot of students sick with the flu, tummy bugs, and other viruses. If your child is showing any symptoms, please stay home and email tammy.smith@mytesa.org. Students with any contagious symptoms may attend Remote Conferencing to complete schoolwork and earn daily attendance. Remote Conferencing helps our students, and helps TeSA by allowing us to count your child's attendance! Thank you for participating!

Remote Conferencing

Monday-Friday, 1:00-3:00 p.m.

Artistically & Academically Yours,

Betsy Compton, M.A., M.A.T., M.Ed.

Principal

Update: We're more than halfway to our goal, however we have only a 35% participation rate. This Friday is our last participation drawing, and 15 lucky students will win prizes! It takes only a $5 donation to be entered into the drawing. With $10 in donations, you also get a gift certificate worth $10 at the Book Fair. Support your school, and get a free book! That's a win-win!

Friday, Nov 4th is the last day and we're having a BIG Dance-a-Thon party! That day, we will award the top prizes and draw winners for the bigger raffle prizes. (Be on the lookout for a SignUp Genius to help out with the party. All volunteers must have an approved background check on file in the office.)

Read the flier for more information, and tell your friends and family to make their pledges online at: https://app.99pledges.com/fund/dat2022.

Your child should have brought home a Square1 Art catalog last week with details on how to order custom keepsakes with your child's artwork on them. These make great holiday gifts for family and friends! Visit www.Square1Art.com/shop to find and order your keepsakes now! The deadline for all orders is November 7th to ensure your orders arrive before the holidays. If you have any trouble locating your child's art, please call the customer care number at 888-332-3294 extension 1.

**** Please note the following improvements to your Square One Art Ordering****
1.) All orders will ship directly to your home.
2.) We have started the ordering process a whole month early so you get your orders before the holiday gift giving season begins.
3) Be sure to look for your student's free reusable stickers on the back of their catalog!

November 17th will be a 3 in 1 event with opportunities for our TeSA families to learn from our students performing in the Discovery Fair, buy books at the Scholastic Book Fair, and see all of the student artwork in the TeSA Art Show.

Our students are working hard to learn their Dance, Music, and Theatre pieces for the TeSA Winter Performances. These nights are a special time for our stars to shine bright on the stage. Save the dates!

As a reminder, all adults must have a legal picture ID to check in the school building. Please alert any other family members that may come to eat lunch or check out your child, so they are prepared. This year, adults must also check-out when leaving. Thank you for planning for these few extra minutes before and after every visit!

So far this school year, we've seen several safety concerns with families arriving early to wait in the carline. Our first graders are outside for recess from 2:00-2:20. If you arrive this early, please stop at the end of the south parking lot and do not turn the corner until they have exited the area. Our third graders are sometimes outside for P.E. until 3:30. By this time, cars may turn the corner so we can fill up the carline. Please drive no more than 5 mph and stay very alert for students and staff.

Save the Date = November 10th.

More details to come.

The 2022-2023 TeSA Yearbook is now on sale. You can order your child's yearbook through the Josten's website or by clicking the photo below.

Our students are going places and we need YOU to help us get them there! Our Bus Driver position is on an as-needed basis, and a valid Texas Class B-CDL with PS Endorsements is required.
