Weekly Communication for TES Families

Principal Post

TES is excited to start a new project after spring break! TSD will begin composting in our school cafeterias, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to involve our students in this important environmental effort. In partnership with Eco Action Partners, we will educate our students on what composting is, how it works, and why it plays a crucial role in protecting our environment.

Composting reduces waste, supports soil health, and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This program will not only teach our students about sustainability but will also empower them to take part in creating positive change in our community.

We encourage you to talk to your child about this new initiative and support their involvement in making TES a more sustainable school. Thank you for your continued support as we work together to create a greener, cleaner future.

Our Miner Bees will have their Beach Party on Friday, April 4th to celebrate, "Miner Bees Have Grit!" We have "almost" filled the stage with beach balls as of today. Sunglasses and beach towels are encouraged.

Don't forget to sign up for April Parent Play Days on PE 3/31-4/4 (NEXT WEEK!) - Basketball Games

SKIPPY DENTAL CLINIC

Hello families,

In partnership with your child's school, Tri-County Health Network (TCHNetwork) is pleased to offer Skippy, a school based dental program providing comprehensive oral healthcare to your child at no out of pocket cost to you. Through Skippy we bring dental care to your children so they can spend more time in the classroom and less time traveling to a dentist!

The Skippy dental team provides the following preventive care:

• Dental Exam

• X-Rays

• Fluoride treatment

• Protective Sealants

• Cleaning

• Education to your children about how to brush and floss

• Free toothbrush, toothpaste and floss

• If needed, primary restorative care: in the form of Interim Temporary Restorations (ITR) and Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF)

This convenient dental visit takes about 30-45 minutes and gets your child back in the classroom quickly.

We will begin the elementary school clinic on Wednesday April 2nd, Thursday April 3rd and Friday April 4th.

If you would like to sign your child up, please fill out the consent form by going to https://tchnetwork.org/skippy-consent/. This consent is valid for the entire school year, both fall and spring semesters, unless revoked by a parent or guardian. Remember, if you sign up for the fall you are automatically enrolled for the spring semester. For questions, please email dental-coord@tchnetwork.org

Skippy is offered at no out-of-pocket costs to all families. If you have dental insurance, we will bill for services just like other dental offices. TCHNetwork offers health insurance enrollment assistance if you need insurance.
