Students practiced important early literacy skills as they worked with sounds, letters, and words in an engaging way. They broke down words and clapped to the sounds of syllables. Lessons like this help our youngest learners build confidence as they grow as readers and develop the foundation they need for future success.

Students practiced using number lines to see how numbers are connected and how they can determine which number a value is closest to when rounding. These strategies help students strengthen number sense and build confidence as mathematicians.
It was a great day of learning and problem-solving at TES!

If you have not yet completed the 2027-2028 School Calendar Survey, please take a few moments to share your preference between Option 1 and Option 2. The primary difference between the two proposed calendars is the timing of Fall Break.
The survey also includes an optional section about school and district communications. These questions will help us better understand how you receive information, which communication tools you prefer, and whether there is interest in exploring a more centralized approach to communication.
The communications portion is completely optional and is not required in order to submit your calendar selection.
The survey closes September 1. Please submit your response using this link: https://forms.gle/wM3v9A7N4SfNDoRg6

At Tolbert Elementary, we are blessed to be surrounded by students who lead with kindness, compassion, and a heart for serving others. Today, we are excited to recognize one very special student, Maylen McCormick, for her inspiring community service project, "Sips for Supplies."
Earlier this summer, Maylen shared a simple but powerful idea with her family: she wanted to help students in need at her school. Determined to make a difference, she organized a community lemonade stand to raise money for school supplies and essential items for fellow Tolbert Warriors.
What started as a small lemonade stand quickly became a remarkable show of community support. Thanks to the generosity of family, friends, neighbors, and local supporters, Maylen raised enough funds to purchase an incredible collection of supplies, including pencils, notebooks, folders, headphones, crayons, markers, scissors, pencil boxes, and other items that will directly benefit students throughout the school year.
Even more touching, when she learned about additional needs among her classmates, Maylen eagerly expanded her efforts to include personal care and comfort items that can help students feel confident and prepared for the school day.
Maylen's project is a beautiful reminder that you are never too young to make a meaningful difference. Her empathy, initiative, and servant leadership embody the very best of what it means to be a Tolbert Warrior.
We are incredibly proud of Maylen and thankful to her family and the many community members who supported her vision. Together, you have demonstrated the power of kindness and the impact one caring heart can have on an entire school community.
Please join us in celebrating Maylen for turning a glass of lemonade into an opportunity to spread hope, support, and love throughout Tolbert Elementary!

As a special treat, these students earned a coupon for a free treat from Dairy Queen! Way to go, readers! Keep turning those pages and enjoying great books!

Students talked about numbers and explored the many different ways they can solve a math problem. Through short daily mental math routines, students practiced explaining their thinking without using paper or pencils.
These conversations help build number sense, mental math flexibility, and a deeper understanding of math!
