TES... For our upcoming in district Kindergartners. Please see the following information about next week's move-up activities: All students will need to be dropped off AND picked up. As we do not have a pre-k in our building, there will not be buses bringing students our building. Drop off and pick up both will happen at the cafeteria doors. If you plan on walking your student in you may bring them in through the front doors. All students will be directed to the cafeteria to meet with the teachers/aides. We will meet briefly at 8:00 with parents and students before beginning the day. Parents are not expected to stay for the day. Our students will be staying together and will be having story time, art, music, and PE as well as exploring the school. After school students may be picked up from the front office or from the cafeteria. Please send a note with your child if they will be picked up at the cafeteria or from the front office. Pick up time will begin at 12:30. A reminder that this move up day is for in district students only. If you have requested an out of district placement you should send your student to their home school. Please check back through the summer to confirm placement for Kindergarten.

TES... TES will be holding a Halloween Party for students on Friday, October 29, at 2:15 pm. Guests will only be permitted if Upshur County is green, yellow, or gold on the daily Covid-19 map. Board policy mandates that masks are required for all students, staff, and visitors if the county is orange or red, and at TES the precedent has been set that if we are orange or red, large groups of visitors are not permitted in the building during school hours. Therefore, we will determine if guests are permitted based on the color map. Please make sure your phone receives the school texts or that you are able to access the Parents of Tennerton Facebook page or tes.upshurschools.com for updates. Should the county fall in the green, yellow, or gold categories, we will encourage mask wearing from our visitors, although they will not be required per board policy. This year students and staff are permitted to wear costumes to celebrate the holiday. Please follow the guidelines listed below for costumes: 1. No weapons or props that could depict violent acts. 2. Students may wear face paint, but no masks. The only masks permitted are the ones students wear to mitigate the spread of Covid-19. 3. Costumes should not depict any gore or evidence of violence. 4. Costumes should not depict any drug or alcohol references. 5. Costumes should provide appropriate coverage.
