TJL Weekly Update

4/20-4/24

TJL
Hello TJL Families,

We had a busy and exciting week at TJL! The Healthy Tornado event on Friday night was outstanding. It was so wonderful to see so many of our families come together for an evening focused on wellness, fun, and community spirit.

I'm so proud of all of our students who participated in NYSSMA over the weekend! What an incredible accomplishment.

This week, we will be administering the New York State ELA assessments on Tuesday and Wednesday. We know our students are ready to do their best, and we are proud of the hard work they have put in throughout the year. Please help support them by ensuring they get a good night’s sleep, arrive to school on time, and start each day with confidence.

Thank you, as always, for your continued partnership and support.

Warmly,
Mrs. Washington
