Thank you for extending words of affirmation and appreciation for some of THE BEST teachers, mentors, and care-givers one could ever hope for! 😊

TLES VIP ProgramTLES Families: We’d call this the best opportunity to get involved with your child's education! The TLES VIP Program is an awesome opportunity to volunteer at TLES, support your child's classroom and across multiple areas of the school. All parents, guardians, aunts, uncles, grandparents and other family members are encouraged to participate. Please click the link above to access the slideshow and clickable video (within the slideshow) to learn more about this great program and the impact your involvement has on your child(ren).
We do have one request for future visitors - please sign up at least 72 hours in advance of your visit in order for us to communicate your visit with our teachers way ahead of time. We want to ensure that on the day you select to visit that the teacher will not have testing, meetings pulling them from the classroom or other events conflicting with your time in our classrooms. This will ensure you are visiting at the ideal time. :)
Ready to sign up? Complete this form.
