Timber Lakes Elementary School - OCPS

5th Grade Families

The day has arrived, it’s our 5th grade Wolf Pups very last day of elementary school.

Our 5th graders will end their last day of elementary school parading through the school. The parade will conclude with our 5th graders exiting out the front of the school.

5th grade parents you are welcome to join us at the front of the school to cheer, take picture, and otherwise celebrate these Wolf Pups as they exit TLE. We do ask that any parents joining us at the front of the school, please park your car. The grass area in the middle of our bus loop has plenty of parking space available. Please DO NOT leave vehicles unattended in the car line. This is a major safety concern. Again, if you plan to participate in the 5th grade exit parade festivities at the front of the school, please park your vehicle in the grass area in the middle of our bus loop.

Only 5th graders needing to go to their assigned room to wait for car line or those attending extended day will be permitted to enter the building after all 5th graders have paraded out. It is important for us to maintain a secure campus until every children has been dismissed to go home, including those who attend extended day.

We will dismiss the entire school immediately after all 5th graders have paraded out. There will be no need to sign any siblings out. If your 5th grader is a car rider, please make sure they know if they need to return to their assigned location to wait to be picked up in car line or should be looking for you at the front of the school after they exit.

One last time, because it is worth repeating, please DO NOT leave vehicles unattended in the car line. If you’re going to participate in the 5th grade exit, please park.

Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring a safe 5th grade exit and final day of school dismissal for all, and for choosing TLE. We’re going to miss this special group of Wolf Pups.

Happy final Friday of the 2025-26 school year. Have a wonderful long weekend!

2 more days, Wolf Pups

It is FAST testing day for our 3rd through 5th grade Wolf Pups. We welcomed them this morning with a red carpet worthy of our pupperific kiddos, and the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade hallways are covered in wonderful positive energy posters. We're proud of our Wolf Pups already and know they're all going to do great!

Thank you for your patience this morning as we tried a new arrival procedure with all students being dropped off at the bus loop. This provided us an opportunity to gain valuable insight we will use to inform future adjustments to arrival procedure.

We will return to normal arrival procedure tomorrow with Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade all being dropped off at the front of the school. Grades 3 through 5 will continue to be dropped off at the bus loop.

Again, thank you for your patience and understanding this morning.

It’s STEAM night at TLE celebrating all things arts & sciences. The evening kicked off with a Pupperific musical performance by our 2nd grades. Now there are tons of really cool science displays, including folks from the Florida wetlands, honors students from our neighbor, Timber Creek High School. There’s a black light art installation featuring work by many of our talented Wolf Pups. There’s also a variety of pawsitively awesome coding and robotics projects to check out. As if that wasn’t enough, there are also hands on activities in our media center, food trucks parked by our garden and picnic tables, and information tables from a variety of our wonderful partners in education.

It’s a howlerific evening to be a Wolf Pup! What a great way to start a long weekend.

Big thank you howl to Mrs Hammond, Mrs Gower, Mrs. Rodgers, Mrs. Crawford, and all the other members of the TLE family who made this event possible!

Just a reminder there is no school this Friday, April 24. Our school offices will also be closed.

Today we held our third and final Great Howl celebration. We went outside for a bubble party! We kicked the year off with a Timber Creek High School drumline concert for quarter 1. We followed that with a neon glow party in quarter 2. We're so proud of all our honor roll and principal's list Wolf Pups. We want to give an extra special congratulations howl to all of our Wolf Pups who made the list to attend each of our Great Howl Celebrations this year. As we told the Wolf Pups today, you always want to keep those grades and scores up because you never know what kind of fun is going to happen at a Great Howl!

Have a great weekend Wolf Pups!

We're so super proud of our Wolf Pups. They have logged the most minutes reading out of all the schools in OCPS District 1. Way to go Wolf Pups! Keep picking up those wonderful books and reading.

The first pieces of our school beautification and upgrades thanks to Boosterthon fundraising have arrived. We're so happy to have new benches in our front office, and new desk chairs for our front office, conferences rooms, and for every single teacher who wanted a new chair. Big thank you howl to our Timber Creek High School student volunteers for assembling all of our new chairs so super fast!

The next big use of these funds will be two murals. Thank you to everyone who reached out with artist suggestions. We have begun the process with a muralist. It won't happen quickly, but we're going to have some beautiful murals on our campus in the not too distant future. We're aiming for these two murals to be just the first of many.

Big thank you howl to our wonderful community for your support and generosity that made these upgrades possible.
