The first Teller Town Hall will feature a macro-level overview of Teller’s curriculum across grade levels with a deeper dive into real life examples from some of Teller’s very own teachers. Additional discussion will be had on Teller’s social-emotional curriculum, including the Behavioral and Emotional Screening System (BESS) assessment.
Following the curriculum overview, hear from a subject matter expert in the pediatric health field about why certain topics are important to address in school settings.
Finally, learn about ways that you can help Teller maintain an authentic and safe learning environment through systems advocacy and other efforts at home.

What is Totally Teller?
-
Totally Teller is our annual adults-only evening fundraiser for Teller Elementary.
-
We get together for conversation, games, food, a great band and a fantastic silent & live auction.
-
Teller's teachers and staff also join the fun!
-
There is a theme every year, and your attire (or costume) for the evening is inspired by that theme. So whether you wear a full pilot's flight suit, don your world-traveler glam or just light up the room with your smile, you are guaranteed a fun time with friends while bidding on some exciting auction items — everything from weekend getaways and wine tastings to camps and classes and special "TIGER TREAT" teacher and staff experiences for kids.
-
Overnight babysitting at Teller is coming back this year! Stay tuned for more details.
Don't miss a great night celebrating and supporting all things Teller!

Fall CogAT Testing Sign Up
If you are interested in having your child (1st, 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade only) take the CogAT assessment this fall, please complete the nomination form. Applications can be found at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScunmyJy06R1QW-BL3tv8DpV566k_YgwuXUa6g8spX0JrYj7g/viewform. Applications for testing are due Friday, October 14th. Students can only take one cognitive assessment per calendar year, so if your child was already given the NNAT or the CogAT last spring, they cannot be assessed again this fall. If you have any questions, please contact marian_dorsey@dpsk12.org.
