Dear Thomas Olaeta Families,

Welcome to another exciting year at Thomas Olaeta Elementary! Whether you're returning or joining us for the first time, we're thrilled you're part of our T.O. family.

This year's theme is "Tigers on the Move – Every Tiger Growing Every Day!" Together with our district theme, "The Power of Us," it reminds us that every child grows when families, staff, and our community work together.

Four Simple Ways to Help Your Tiger Succeed

 Be Here Every Day
Good attendance matters! Students who come to school every day and on time have the greatest opportunity to learn, grow, and build friendships.

 Read Together
Just 20 minutes of reading each day builds strong readers and lifelong learners.

 Stay Connected
Join the PTO, attend school events, volunteer when you can, and keep in touch with your child's teacher. Your involvement makes a difference.

 Encourage Growth
Celebrate effort, perseverance, and learning from mistakes. Every Tiger can grow every day!

Our staff is committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and engaging learning environment where every student can thrive. Thank you for trusting us with your child's education.

Together, let's make this an incredible year of learning, growth, and school pride!

Once a Tiger, Always a Tiger!

Mr. Steve Kuykendall (Mr. K)
Principal
Thomas Olaeta Elementary School.
