Our monthly TEMS PTO Meeting is this Wednesday, February 3 at 9am in the Large Group Room. Every parent is a member of the TEMS PTO just by having a student at TEMS. Come join us for the meetings! We have coffee, treats and each month we have a guest teacher come to meet with us and talk about what they do in the classroom!
Book Bonanza is HERE this Week!... 
On Monday and Tuesday of this week, students can come to the Large Group Room during activity/lunch periods and choose books to take home (regardless of whether or not they donated books). Contact Jane Martin at jcmartin2407@gmail.com or Lori Naser at ljnaser@msn.com with any questions.

What's Happening Around School...

Parking and Traffic Flow Safety
Please drive slowly and carefully during student drop-off and pick-up times; parking in a designated spot or pulling-up as far as possible to allow traffic to flow behind you.  Please do not try to pass other moving vehicles, which causes unsafe conditions.  
Drop-off and pick-up may occur in the parking lots off Conestoga Road and Old Lancaster Road, and on the school side of Howellville Road.  No vehicles are permitted in the bus circle or fire lanes at any time.  Thank you for helping create the safest conditions possible for our students.
