Attendance
Incentive: In an effort to improve our daily attendance, our school will be
participating in April Hoops. Three lucky students (one per grade) will
win movie certificates. All you have to
do is come to school every day from March 31st thru April 11th
and you will have a chance to win. Please note that students that arrive late
or leave early will NOT be eligible for the movie tickets. We will also be
giving away consolation prizes for three students (one per grade) who only
missed one day. We sure hope all of our TES students are in school from March
31st-April 11th.
Thurmont Lions Club: The
Thurmont Lions Club will once again honor a teacher from the Catoctin Feeder
schools as “Teacher of the Year”.
Nominators may be principals, staff members, fellow teachers, parents or
students. Please see Mrs. Krietz if you
would like to nominate a TES staff member.
MSA Testing: MSA testing is right around the corner.
Students in grades 3-5 will be tested in reading and math from April 1st-8th.
Please be sure that your child gets plenty of rest during these days and be
sure that they have a healthy breakfast. Ask your child about the test, and
encourage them to do their best everyday.
Hold high expectations for them.
Please refrain from scheduling appointments for the mornings of testing.
Testing will begin promptly at 8:45am. Please be sure that your child is here on time and prepared for testing.
Individual student reports will be sent home with report cards at the end of
the school year. If you would like to see a sample of the MSA test, long onto
mdk12.org, click on assessments, public release tasks, and then sample
items.
“1-2-3
Magic: Effective Discipline”
This
is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Dr. Phelan’s 1-2-3 Magic Model
for effective discipline. It is a simple
and practical method that helps parents and caregivers of children ages 4-12
get them to start doing what they want and stop doing what they don’t. This is a FREE program co-sponsored by
Families Plus! and the FCPS’ Community Agency School Services (CASS), as well
as the Sabillasville PTA. The program
will be
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23 from 6-8 pm at
Dinner and childcare available for children over
age 4. Please register by calling Debbie
Wivell, CASS coordinator at 240-236-1770.
SPRING
CARNIVAL: Our
annual PTA Spring Carnival is THIS SATURDAY from 11-3 at TES…please consider joining us for some fun games, food and even a
magic show! There will be a bake sale,
cake walk, petting zoo as well as a fire truck, ambulance and police car. This year we will also be honoring our All
American Everyday Heroes, so please come in uniform if you are a member of our
Armed Forces or the fire, police or ambulance company! Wear your patriotic colors to show support
for these All American Heroes!
Summer
Success: We will
once again provide a Summer Success program for students needing additional
support to achieve grade level standards.
Invitations were given during parent conferences. Please return registration as soon as
possible. Do not hesitate to call the
school office with any questions or concerns!
PBIS: As you know, TES utilizes a school-wide
behavior management system that reinforces students for following our 4 school
