Dear Families,
Thank you so much to everyone who attended the Open House this evening! We are excited to welcome our students into our new space at Timberland School tomorrow. We have compiled a list of things that will make our time at Timberland run more smoothly. If you aren’t able to arrange these things by tomorrow, we appreciate your help in making these arrangements as soon as possible.
Lastly, thank you all for our help in this transition. We especially appreciate all the support from the PTC and alumni, including all the delicious snacks and treats. As always, please don't hesitate to reach out if there is anything you or your child needs and thank you again for all that you do!

- Water Bottles- There are no sinks/fountains in the classrooms. Please have your child bring a tightly-sealed water bottle each day to keep in the classroom.
- Baby/Hand Wipes- Without a sink, we could use a few packs of wipes for the class to help with messy hands. The Clorox wipes everyone brought at the start of the year are great for tables, but students can’t use them to wipe their hands.
- Chapter Books- We were able to pack some books, including the books your children were currently reading in class. That said, we are very limited as to the books we have available both in the classroom and the temporary West TV library. Please help by ensuring your child has two chapter books at school each day. This would be a great time to build a weekly visit to the local library into your schedule!
- Snack- We will continue to have a scheduled afternoon snack in the classroom once a day. However, our lunch time is later in the day, so please make sure your child eats a substantial breakfast before school.
- Dismissal Plans- Please ensure that your child is VERY clear on their going home plan, especially for our first day. We recognize that there may be changes to this plan now that we are at Timberland, so please be sure to call the office ASAP with updates. Below are the going home choices.
- Parent Pick-Up
- THRIVE
- Buses (128, 138, 129)
- West TV Shuttle (walkers and bikers from and to West TV)
- YMCA after school care (at Timberland)
- Parent Pick-Up
- Homework- The vocabulary and reading logs for this week have been postponed until next Tuesday, 10/1. The values homework has also been pushed back, it is now due Thursday, 9/26.
