TIS Chess Club

Posted on April 27, 2012 | Comments Off on TIS Chess Club

Dear Parents and Guardians:

Your child is invited to join the TIS Chess Club. This year the Chess Club will be meeting on Wednesdays May 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd from 3:30 – 4:30 in the TIS Lab.

The TIS Chess Club welcomes students of every ability level, from the complete beginner to accomplished grand masters. Everyone will learn new tactics, new strategies and will have FUN!

The membership fee for Chess Club is $10 (scholarships available) and is valid through their entire school career. This small fee will help to ensure that Chess Club will be able to continue next year. There are no refunds. Students will also receive a tournament style board and pieces in order to practice at home with friends and family.

Students MUST have a permission form signed by a parent in order to join. Please indicate below if your child will be picked up, or will be walking home on their own. Please be in the school driveway loop by 4:35 if you will be picking up your child.

Students are welcome to bring snacks to the Chess Club.

Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.

Mr. EarthTree

Infinite Campus Portal for Parents

Posted on September 19, 2011 | Comments Off on Infinite Campus Portal for Parents

Shelly just sent this great information to the staff, and I thought I’d share it. If you need your Campus Portal Activation Key again, please contact Shelley Schuler.

Thanks to our wonderful Tech person, Tava Smathers, we have an updated set of instructions for parents on how to set up their Parent Portal….Remember, this is where you can see your child’s teachers’ names, attendance, behavior, grades, list of classes. This is different from FUSION!

Hello Telluride!

Posted on August 16, 2011 | Comments Off on Hello Telluride!

Students, Parents and TIS Faculty,

Operation Material Exfoliation

I am super excited to begin working with you. I’ll be taking on the position that was recently filled by Mz. Hoins, Enrichment & Technology Teacher. I’ll do my very best to serve your students and you. I welcome your advice and ideas as I transition into this new working environment. Special thanks to Steve Smith, Nancy DeCastro and Steph Gebauer for making this transition enjoyable and stress-free!

It was important to give my current school district, Aurora Public Schools (APS), 30 days notice. So I’ll be officially starting August 22nd. However I will be at the retreat on the 18th. My last day with APS is the 19th… so unfortunatley I’ll miss the back to school celebration.

My partner, Shannon, and daughter Didi (2nd grader) will be joining me in a few weeks. They are putting the finishing touches on “operation material exfoliation.” We’re giving away most of what we own and are starting anew in Telluride. Here’s more about me if you’re still wondering, “Who is this guy?” http://www.theseapplesaredelicious.com/about/

Kind regards,
