We need your help! Chairs for the Continuation Ceremony will be delivered around 2pm TODAY and we’re looking for volunteers to assist with chair setup immediately after school!

We’re also in need of volunteers for chair takedown on Friday, May 30th at 12:30 PM. If you’re available, we’d LOVE your support!

2) School Grounds Closed on Thursday at 3pm

The entire Teller field and playgrounds will be closed to the public from 3:00 PM on Thursday, May 29th (TODAY) until 6:00 PM on Friday, May 30th to ensure proper setup and safety for the event. All Teller gates will be locked promptly at 3:00pm.

3) Last Day of School- June 3rd, 2025

The last day of school is Tuesday, June 3rd. Please note that it is a half day, and pickup will be at 11:10 AM. There will be no Discovery Link or after school enrichments on this day.

Students will receive sack lunches and breakfasts on this day.

4) 5th Grade Clap Out- June 3rd, 2025

Let’s celebrate our amazing 5th graders as they wrap up their elementary school journey!

We’re excited to bring back the beloved tradition of the 5th Grade Clap Out on the last day of school, June 3rd at 11:00 AM. Our 5th grade students will begin their walk on the 3rd floor, making their way through the building and out the gym doors in a final celebratory parade.

Families are invited to join in the fun! You’re welcome to gather outside near the field ahead of time to cheer, clap, or even create a celebratory tunnel as the students exit the building and head over to the field.

Let’s show them how proud we are—bring your cheers!

5) Lost and Found

Friday, May 30th, will be the last day to retrieve items from the lost and found! Any unclaimed items will be donated, so make sure to stop by today or tomorrow to see if your student is missing anything. WE HAVE OVER 120 ITEMS IN THE LOST AND FOUND!

6) A Message From the Teller Health Office

We want to remind you that all student medications must be picked up from the health office at the end of the school year. Medications can be picked up now.

Please note: Any medications not picked up by 12:00 PM on June 3rd, 2025, will be properly disposed of in accordance with district policy.

For students enrolled in summer programs:

Medications and equipment must be picked up on the last day of school and brought by a parent/guardian to the summer program on the first day.

Medication forms for the 2025–2026 school year are available HERE.

7) Return Books Back to Classroom Libraries

As we come to the end of the year, teachers are asking parents to please check their bookshelves and bedrooms at home for any books that may belong to the classroom libraries. We appreciate all the efforts to get the school library books returned to Ms. Rosie and it is just as imperative that the classrooms have those books returned as well so students in coming years have a vibrant and extensive library in their classroom. Many students take books home and forget to bring them back. Most are labeled with the teacher name, initials, or Teller. Thank you so much for your help with this!

8) Missing Library Books

Parents and guardians, there are still OVER 200 BOOKS that have not been returned. We kindly ask for your support in making sure all library materials are brought back to the school as soon as possible. Please check with your child to see if they have any items that still need to be returned.

Reminders will be sent to families of students with outstanding materials. A replacement fee will be charged for any books that are not returned. Thank you for helping us keep our library collection complete!
