A BIG THANK YOU to the **Tice Fire Department** for visiting our Kindergarten students and teaching them important lessons about fire safety! ❤️👨‍🚒 Our little learners loved discovering more about the amazing work firefighters do to keep our community safe.

From learning life-saving safety tips to celebrating our everyday heroes, it was an unforgettable learning experience! 🧑‍🚒🚒

We are so grateful for our community heroes and all they do to protect and serve our families! **Thank you, Tice Fire Department, for making fire safety fun and helping our little learners stay safe!** ❤️🔥

TPE families!

It’s time to smile for the camera and look sharp for your yearbook photo! This week, students will be taking their Fall Pictures, which are the photos featured in our yearbook. Students must be IN UNIFORM for these photos.

Ordering information was sent home last week, and also again in email today. You may also see the attached photos for information.

Should you have any questions about which day your child will be taking their photos, please feel free to reach out to her/his teacher. If you are unsure of who your child’s teacher is, you can find that information in the FOCUS portal.

Thank you!
