A Message from Mrs. Washington

Dear TJL Families, 

Welcome to Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School!

At TJL, we believe that every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued. That’s why we are committed to creating a culture of belonging—a place where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

As we begin a new school year, we are especially excited to welcome our incoming 3rd graders and all new TJL families to our learning community. This is a time for new friendships to bloom, confidence to grow, and for every child to feel at home.

Our school-wide expectations guide us each day:
Respectful, Responsible, Safe every day—
Inclusive at TJL, It’s the Lion Way!

With partnership, positivity, and purpose, we look forward to a joyful and successful year together. Thank you for being a part of our TJL family.

Be sure to read my weekly updates on ParentSquare to see all the wonderful things going on at TJL! 

Warm Regards, 
Jennifer Washington
