Message from Dr. TRESler and Mr. Hiel:
Dear Retriever Families,
As we celebrate National Volunteer Appreciation Month this April, we want to take a moment to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of our incredible PTA including parent and family volunteers.
Your time, energy, and dedication make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students and staff. Whether you have chaperoned field trips, supported students, helped plan and work at PTA events, cleaned out our Lost & Found, supported our prize carts, assisted with class events, or supported us in countless other ways, please know how deeply appreciated you are!
TRES simply could not be as successful without the strong partnerships we share with our families. Your involvement strengthens our school community, enriches student experiences, and helps create the positive, supportive environment we are so proud of.
Thank you for all that you do. You are truly valued, and we are so grateful for your continued support and partnership.
With appreciation,
Dr. Tiffany TRESler, Principal
Kory Hiel, Assistant Principal

Counselors' Corner - A Message from Mrs. Wolf and Ms. Diaz
Spring is a busy season and an important time to reteach/review key expectations to finish this final stretch of the year as strongly as possible. Feel free to tune into our April video TRESmission for key points and common language with trait review. You'll get to see March Retriever Award winners and even catch a glimpse of how our mascot, Treasure, spent his break.
As part of our PBIS initiatives, the whole school has been collaborating to earn Hallway Success points. Our school-wide Dance PAWty was hosted on Wednesday before the early dismissal. Treasure showed us some good moves! Ask your retriever about the dance fun AND ways to finish the school year with continued success and focus.
