Welcome to the 2021-22 School Year from the TES Board!

Greetings and welcome to the 2021-2022 school year! We are thrilled to begin this year with our expert staff and inquisitive students back in our building for five days of in-person teaching and learning! TES classrooms are already bustling with the positive energy and engaged learning of our K-8 “Explorers,” and we welcome everyone with open (but also socially distanced!) arms!

Celebrations from 2021-2022!

Despite an unprecedented year, TES has an incredible 2020-2021, with many more exciting things in store for this year - from playground updates, to the installation of a new STEAM/Maker Space, to TES’s implementation of its recent ACCESS grant award. Check out a few of our recent celebrations!
