Welcome back to our new school year!

Dear Twin Lake Families,

We will see everyone on Tuesday, September 8!


Remember - morning drop off is at 8:25 and afternoon pick up is 3:45. Please make sure that your teacher and your child know how they are getting home this week. Remember, it is a short week due to the Labor Day holiday - No school on Monday, Sept. 7.


Breakfast is served from 8:25 - 8:45 everyday and is free. Our school lunches are also free for every student this year. We are so happy to keep all of our Rockets well-fed and ready for their school day.


Please remember that if you drop your students to school in the morning, drop them off at the sidewalk or walk them across the parking lot. We need to keep our Rockets safe and we have had a few friends running across the parking lot.


We now have 2 active social media accounts! We have our official Twin Lake Elementary account and we also have a Twin Lake Elementary Connections account. (We also have an awesome Twin Lake PTO Facebook page!) Any of these accounts may post pictures of our kids having a great time at school. We do not share identifying information with the pictures. However, if you do not want your students' pictures posted, please let your students' teacher or the office know and we will not post your student's pictures.


Our CKH focus of the month is Empathy - This month, we’re focusing on empathy and challenging

students to make sure that everyone they interact with feels seen, heard, and valued. We are partnering with you to grow and develop empathy in your student at home. As a family, use these activities to reflect on and better understand the needs of others.


We are here to help! Feel free to call the office at 231-719-3190, if you have questions or concerns. Once school starts, you will use this number to report any student absences as well. The school office will be open Monday through Fridays from 8:00-4:00 each day.


We are all looking forward to seeing you!


Thank you!

Mrs. Bennink

Rising Rockets - Youth Program

Please see the video below from the high school athletic department introducing Rising Rockets, an initiative designed to provide a one-stop digital location for all things youth athletics, in Rocket City.

Our goal is to make it easier for families to find information about camps, clinics, youth leagues, and opportunities to get involved in Reeths-Puffer athletics. Through Rising Rockets, you’ll be able to explore offerings, connect with programs, and register your student-athlete all in one convenient place.

We’re excited to continue building strong connections with our future Rockets and hope this resource makes navigating youth athletics in our community even easier.
