Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week is May 5-9. We will celebrate our teachers and staff every day! to let them know they are awesome! Look for your Teacher’s Favorite Things List and Amazon wish list or reach out to your room parent to help you! The PTA has provided a suggested theme for each day.  

MONDAY - Favorite flower or plant. Whether real or homemade, each flower is going to be as unique as the students in our class and makes a really fun bunch. 

TUESDAY - School supply.  Can pick from their Amazon wish list or printer paper is always needed!  

WEDNESDAY - Favorite snack. Teachers love to have a drawer of snacks on their busy days. 

THURSDAY - Small gift or gift card. Enjoy providing your own Thank You to the Teacher. The Favorite List has their favorite places and stores. Teachers also love gifts that kids make.

FRIDAY - Write a card to thank their teacher (suggestions of why they like their Teacher, thank them for one thing, what they loved about the class, etc).  Draw a picture of the Teacher if they can’t write yet.  We also encourage your child to give a hello card to a previous Teacher. Former Teachers really love getting these messages!

Although our main focus is our Classroom Teacher, please remember we have some amazing ‘special’ Teachers:  Front Staff, Nurses, Counselors, Fun PE Coaches, Science Teacher, Music Teacher and our amazing Custodian who cleans up after all our kids. A reminder to have our kids say thank you to them next week as well! SIGN UP HERE! If you would like to drop off snacks for all the Staff to share!

Thank you to all of our Turtle Rock families for making Jogathon such a huge success!! We hope the kids enjoyed participating in our Bubble Run. All donations are used to fund the many programs that PTA supports, such as field trips, STEM program, student assemblies, teacher's classroom and student enrichment supplies, our PE program and much more. We are very thankful for our Turtle Rock Elementary community.

Yearbook Coordinator for 2025-26
We are looking for a yearbook coordinator for next year! 
Work together with school staff and parent volunteers to put together the yearbook. Set the page ladder and oversee layouts for each classroom and school events/activities. Tasks can be spread throughout the school year but March and April will require the most hours. Experience with digital media, photo sharing, and photobook layouts is helpful. 

For families wishing to provide additional school supplies for Turtle Rock teachers throughout the year, we have compiled our teachers' Amazon Wish Lists (including for PE, Counselors, and Education Specialists) and Donors Choose projects. Information about our Library Birthday Book Club can also be found on the same page.
