Important Transportation Information

Important Transportation Information

• Any kids staying after school for clubs must have a written transportation change for that day. Please send a note each day that they are staying for art club or ASP enrichment. This cuts down on confusion if there is ever a substitute teacher in the class. 
• No changes of transportation can be accepted by parents over Remind, Class Dojo, email, etc. Changes must be made in writing to the office and received by 1:30 each day.


Thank you!

WEEK OF January 28th

Teasley Vision Statement:

The Purpose of Teasley Elementary School is to educate the whole child in a safe and caring environment.

Fancy Nancy Word of the Week

Forge: Make or shape a metal object by heating it and hammering it

Lewis and Clark

We are finishing our 3rd IB unit. In this unit, we have learned about geography and how geography influences our communities. We have learned about Lewis and Clark and their expedition into unknown land. To keep track of all of the amazing sights they saw, they kept a journal. One way you can do this at home is to bird watch as a family! Bird watching is an ideal way to get the whole family outdoors and involved. Buy a field journal to help identify birds and keep a family log of all the birds you spot or take or draw pictures and start a family bird-watching scrapbook complete with images.
