¡Atención, agentes! Nuestro evento "Libros Explosivos" comienza la semana que viene. Nos embarcaremos en una misión para construir las bibliotecas en casa de nuestros estudiantes. Sigan los pasos del Mapa del Tesoro que llegará a casa la semana que viene para embarcarse en esta operación y ganar emocionantes premios y libros.

Dear Families,
We're excited to share that our school is partnering with Books Are Fun and the Book Blast program to help put brand-new, age-appropriate books into the hands of every one of our students!
Here's why we love Book Blast:
Every student receives books they'll love and want to read
100% of all contributions go directly to books and classroom needs
The book list is thoughtfully curated and truly engaging
Keep an eye out for a message from me with more details soon.
Your student will also be bringing home a printed Treasure Map—this is their ticket to joining the fun, earning books, and unlocking some great prizes. It's simple, exciting, and encourages reading at home.
In the meantime, you can learn more about Books Are Fun and the Book Blast program: https://www.bb.booksarefun.com/testimonials.
We're looking forward to a great kickoff!

Attendance Matters!!
Everyday counts when it comes to learning at TCES! When students attend school regularly, they feel better connected, stay on track with learning, and build great habits for the future! We’re celebrating students who show up, on time, and who are ready to learn by having homeroom Random Attendance Prize drawings!
A big round of applause for our Random Attendance Prize drawing winners:
Ms. Beggs’ 4th Grade Class
Mrs. A. Guess’ 2nd Grade Class
When the attendance was checked, all students in these homerooms were present and at school on time! They got a chance to spin the prize wheel and Ms. Beggs’ class won a Popsicle for their class to enjoy at recess while Mrs. Guess’ class won extra recess time!
Congratulations and thank you to these students, their parents, and teachers for helping to TITAN UP on attendance!
