NEW THIS YEAR AT TESAGO--1000 Book Club to promote literacy. This past spring and summer, Tesago parent Samantha Yattaw and kindergarten teacher Chris Meagher began working on a 1000 Book Club project for the Tesago community.  They put together 100 canvas bags with 10 books identified as age appropriate.  The idea is to have a kindergartener read (be read to) all 1,000 by the end of the year as a way to promote literacy at home.  The rack holding the bags is on the lobby of Tesago Elementary School.  Parents are required to come in and sign out the bags and are provided with a sheet to help keep track of the bags they have already read.

Attention: SKANO AND TESAGO ELEMENTARY - NEW STUDENT DROP-OFF PROCEDURES - Starting September 5th.

To make the parking lot safer for all Skano/Tesago children, please follow these guidelines:

  • Students can not be dropped off before 7:55 a.m.  Prior to that time there is no supervision for students.

  • All cars should turn down the back access road (behind Tesago).

  • The drop zone for Skano and Tesago children is located at the Tesago back door.

  • Children should not get out of the car until they are told to do so.

  • All children should exit the car on the right side.

  • Parents should stay in their car and immediately leave the parking lot.

  • Children arriving after 8:15 a.m. must be signed in by an adult in the main office.

Research shows that the safest way for children to arrive and depart from school is on a school bus.  It is dangerous when children walk in the parking lot and are not dropped off at the designated area.  We encourage you to take advantage of district transportation – and not drive your children to or home from school.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.
