Greetings TSES Families,
Staff returned last Thursday, and we are ready to welcome back our students on 8/26. Dr. Lewis and I enjoyed seeing families last week at the Popsicles on the Playground event, and the staff loved the chalk messages designed by students and parents! Thank you to our wonderful PTA for the welcome back lunch last week and for organizing the chalk messages!
Please see below for important information related to Family File and Free and Reduced Meals. Family File completion is required each year and is critical information for TSES to have by the first day of school. As of today, around 20% of families have completed their family file. Please help us reach 100% by the first day of school on 8/26!
Check out our website for the school supply list. Please reach out to our front office at 410-313-6915 if your family needs support with school supplies.
We are so excited to see our students and families this Friday, August 23 at Open House!

Message from the Health Room
Hello Talbott Springs Families,
Welcome back! We hope you had a fun and relaxing summer. We are so excited for the 2024-2025 school year to begin! We just wanted to touch on a couple of things from the health room.
Medications: Please reach out to the health room, (410) 313-6918, if your child needs to take daily medication in school or needs to keep medication in the health room (EpiPens, Inhalers, Over-the-Counter medications, etc.). Ms. Jones or I, will be able to guide you through the process of keeping medication in the health room. Students are not allowed to carry medication independently.
Illness: COVID, cold, and flu season is quickly approaching. Parents are encouraged to keep their child at home if they are having symptoms of illness (fever >100.4, cough, sore throat, etc.). Please encourage your child to wash their hands often, drink plenty of fluids and get adequate rest.
School Based Wellness Center: FREE for ALL of our students. Enroll today with this link: https://bit.ly/SBWCEnrollment
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Thank you,
Lindsey Squillario, RN
