Dear Retriever Families,
It was amazing and beautiful to see our diverse community come together for the 25th anniversary celebration and Retriever Rally last Friday! An event of this magnitude takes tremendous collaboration and communication. A huge THANK YOU to our PTA Retriever Rally chairs, the staff 25th anniversary celebration committee, parent/staff/community volunteers, and all of you! Kindness, patience, teamwork, and care were modeled for our Retrievers.
It’s hard to believe that Memorial Day weekend is here! Each school year seems to go by faster than the one before! We still have so much to do and celebrate in the last three weeks of school. Please be sure to read all school messages and emails to stay informed about what’s happening at TRES during this busy time of year. If anyone indicates they are not receiving text messages, please direct them here. We look forward to finishing strong!
Warmly,
Dr. Tiffany TRESler, Principal
Kory Hiel, Assistant Principal

Collect All Student Materials By June 14 - Limited Building Access This Summer
TRES families, please note that our school front office will be closed immediately following the last day of school as the roof replacement that began last summer continues and will affect the front part of the building. Administration will be relocating to the portable classroom space and have limited access to the building. For this reason, we cannot hold any student materials that are not collected by the last day of school. Please ensure you have all your student’s belongings by June 14 or earlier if you will be traveling prior to this date.
