 The Kindergarten Readiness Act is a law that changed the age for entrance into Kindergarten in California.  Children must be five years of age for Kindergarten by:

-October 1^st for the 2013-2014 school year

-September 1^st for the 2014-2015 school year

Transitional Kindergarten is the first year of a two-year Kindergarten program for children whose Kindergarten entrance is changed as a result of this new law.  Children will be enrolled in Transitional Kindergarten (pending State funding) if their fifth birthday is between:

-October 2 and December 2 for the 2013-2014 school year

-September 2 and December 2for the 2014-2015 school year and each year thereafter 

Children born between September 2-October 1^st, 2008 are invited to apply for admission in our Transitional Kindergarten classes on a space available basis.

Hello TES Families,

LOOK HOW MUCH WE HAVE EARNED THIS YEAR (AS OF APRIL 29, 2013)!!

Do you have a TARGET RED CARD?  Did you know that the Target Red Card gives you 5% off your purchases and gives an additional 1% to our school?  It's easy to get one - SEE BELOW:

Templeton Elementary School Families:                            

We would like to remind you of some safety concerns and procedures, specifically regarding drop off, traffic, and parking.  Thank you to so many of you who help keep our children and community safe by legally parking and by following the established guidelines listed below:

DROP OFF / PICK UP TIMES: Please do not park along curbs painted red.  The weather is usually nice, and we suggest families park legally in parking spaces or on neighboring streets and walk to school, when possible.  Please remember that drivers must remain in their cars if parked along the drop off zone (white curbs).   If there is no spot available at the drop off zone, please carefully drive through and loop around the neighborhood.  If you have conversations with staff or other families, please try not to do this while your car is in the drop off zone.  When traffic backs up to Old County Rd., the police department has notified us that citations may be given out.  If we work together on this, we can all be safe and happy.

We do have yard duty supervision in the morning starting at 7:30 and in the afternoon until 3:15 which allows parents of 1^st and 2^nd graders to avoid the traffic by dropping off a bit earlier or picking up a few minutes later.  We have created some recommended times for staggered pickups.  See below:

PLAY AREAS / DROP OFF: Playground / structure areas, the tricycle area, and the TK playground when not supervised by a TES staff member, are not areas that we can allow children to play.  This has been a noted concern during the drop off time for PM kindergarten. 

Safety is of utmost importance to all of us here at TES.  We so appreciate your cooperation.  Thanks, families, for all you do!!

We have new stock of ALL sizes of sweatshirts and Tshirts!!!

The TES staff wrote for and received a competitive and prestigious grant for Early Intervention for School Success (EISS) for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years.  The grant includes beginning of the year training for the entire teaching staff, coaching support throughout the year, and an Administrative Symposium.  Six of our teachers recently attended a Research Institute 3 day Professional Development (March 14-16) which included many sessions on proven educational strategies for our youngest learners.  We are excited to have this team of teachers return and share what they've learned with their students and with the rest of the TES staff!

Every Friday, teachers and office staff wear their green TES shirts.  Join us as we show our Templeton Pride!  To order your Eagle apparel, please print an order form here or contact Tina Clark at 434-9661 or email tdkclark@sbcglobal.net.
