Dear Elementary Families,


Welcome to the new school year at TRIS! It is a pleasure to embark on another year of exploration, growth, and discovery with you and your children.

 

In our Montessori Elementary environment, we continue to build on the foundation laid in earlier years, nurturing your child's natural curiosity and love for learning. Students will have opportunities for hands-on learning, collaborative projects, and independent exploration. Our approach remains deeply rooted in Dr. Maria Montessori's philosophy, focusing on each child's holistic development. We cultivate academic excellence, support our students' social and emotional development, and aim to create a community where children feel respected, valued, and empowered to take ownership of their learning journey.


Education is a vital partnership between the school and the home. We deeply appreciate your support and involvement. Throughout this year, we encourage you to stay informed and connected with us through our newsletters, community meetings, classroom updates, the school's website, conferences, and events. Please don't hesitate to contact the teaching teams with questions, concerns, or help. Together, we will support our students and create a nurturing environment that fosters every child's growth and development.


We look forward to welcoming you in person at our Welcome Event for Parents. It is an excellent opportunity to meet other parents and teachers and visit your child's classroom. We also host an Elementary Back-to-School Night to share details about the curriculum, classroom routines, school and classroom events, and more and answer any questions.


We eagerly anticipate the return of our students to the classroom and are excited about the many beautiful moments ahead. We are confident that this year will be filled with learning, laughter, and growth for all our students.


Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. Your trust is a great honor, and we are excited to be part of their journey. We look forward to all the amazing things they will accomplish this year.


Warm regards,


Wellington Pontes

Elementary Program Director

Dear parents, A few final notes on Walkathon logistics! Entrance: Please enter through the gate in front of the primary yard (between Cedar and Madrone) at the end of Dimond Ave. Checking in: When you bought entry tickets, you were emailed a QR code with your receipt (search for the sender “Fundraising Campaign Update”). To speed things up, we can use this code to check you in. But if you do not have it, do not worry — we’ll have a physical list of ticket purchases on hand and can also look up your ticket purchase. You can also use the website to buy entry tickets on the spot! Participants: Walkers will pick up their lanyard and punch sheet at the entrance and enter their name and lap goal. Volunteers will be punching holes to record each lap! Lunch/activity tickets: You can also pick up pre-purchased lunch/activity tickets that the entry gate. You can also use the ticket page on the website to buy them onsite. We’ll be offering taco plates from “Puro Sabor” for three tickets (vegan options availabl
