Hi TES Parents and families
WOW!! can you believe how fast time is flying by. This third quarter (yes, this is the third quarter of school and it is almost finished) is more than half way through. Your teachers want to remind you all that we are able to do our best teaching when we have data that we can work with. As much as we love our kiddos, we have to be honest with their progress academically. Please help us to retrieve the information needed to adjust how we teach your children, and how we teach each other. TES teachers gather data from several platforms. Some are used to keep us informed as a school and some are used to show you (the parents) your students progress on their report cards. The Evaluate tests, Dibels testing, and WIDA testing are used to help guide our school and teachers in their goals. Teachers use other assessments as well to guide their teaching as well inform you as parents of students progress. We ask that you help your student to take these assessments as they become available. As a reminder, This next week is a great time to start encouraging your student to take the Evaluate ELA and Math assessments. They only need to take 1 a day, and they should practice resilience by taking their time and doing their best work. If you're not sure of other assessments that your teachers give to gather data, please ask.
We sure appreciate all of you parents that are working hard to keep your families running during this pandemic. We strive to help where we can so please call so that we can help support you. Thank you again from your TES teaching team.
Note from PBIS Team:
This is just a friendly reminder to send back postcards to your teacher along with your completed school packet. I hope it’s all completed and ready to be sent on the bus tomorrow. Those of you that Pick-up your child’s school work, drop it off in the Home Work Drop box. You can also send it back by email, Dojo or any means of communication with your child’s teacher.
This coming week’s activity will be to decorate Valentine’s Day card and sent back to school next week. Included in your packet is a red and pick construction paper to use. You can decorate, fold, or cut. You can send to anyone you wish.
Remember those that participate will be entered for a basket full of goodies at the end of the month.
Busses are on their way with Valentines! Thanks for turning in your homework this week! Let us know how we can help. We love you!
Good Tuesday! JUST A REMINDER FOR OUR STUDENTS AND PARENTS the Evaluate Tests for both READING and MATH need to be taken before the month ends. Don’t forget tomorrow is Wednesday which means students turn in your homework packet to the bus and retrieve your new homework packet. Students write your name and your teacher’s name on your packet and please keep your pack together. Please wear your face-mask when the bus arrives at your stop. If you miss the bus run please contact the school to arrange homework packet pickup or chromebook update. You can also turn in homework packets at the school. Thank You, Stay Safe!!
We are pleased to announce that the Navajo Nation has authorized special education students access to the building to receive specific IEP and itinerant services such as speech, occupational therapy, physical therapy, counseling and services for the deaf and blind. Our SpEd teachers will contact families to set up appointments.
We are excited and anxious to serve all our TES students and hope we hear of more order lifts and on-campus opportunities in the near future.
Thank you for all your support helping your students get online with their teachers and completing homework packets each week.

Hello parents and friends. This is just a quick post to direct you to our sites Documents page where you will find the file called "How To's Videos". We will begin to upload help videos that you can access whenever you need to. If you haven't already downloaded the SJSD App. you can watch the video and learn how to do this. We recommend that all of our parents get the SJSD App installed on their phones so that we can help keep you informed about community, educational, Navajo Nation, and emergency events. Thank you for your support as we work to improve communication here among the Monuments.

Happy Monday! Teachers and Paras are working hard to get student packets ready to go home Wednesday. Congratulations to all who turned in their homework on the bus! Look for Dojo prizes in your packets! If your student can't access the internet for homework help, call the school to set up a tutoring time with teacher or Para over the phone. We love to help! Dojo is the best way to reach your teacher. Please keep reading, doing Lexia, completing EVALUATE tests and playing games with your teachers online. We MISS YOU!!
This is for your information. Please keep in mind, for your family safety.
