Lunch Visitors: Due to the lack of seating, students are not able to bring other students to eat lunch with them.
P.E.: In addition to your child’s regular P.E. day, students should wear tennis shoes on Monday’s as well because they will be having an extra day of P.E. each week.
If you have not already done so, please send in ear buds for your child to use in the computer lab and with our laptops in our classroom. You can find them at many places for just a couple of dollars.

Reminder: TRE has students with severe nut allergies. Please refrain from sending products that have nuts (or products manufactured in plants that process nuts) for snacks or for lunch. We truly appreciate your attention and sensitivity to this matter.
