Happy New Year to You!
I hope that this new year brings joy and more normal circumstances for our whole community. I’m looking forward to bringing some students back into the building and continuing the good learning remotely for those who choose to stay remote. Please know that we support your family in whichever model works best for your situation.
Lots of information coming your way this month. While we do not have an exact reopening date yet we are making all preparations for this transition in learning. Please make sure you have filled out the survey to indicate your remote or in-building preference ASAP- this is the first step in our preparations. Thank you to everyone who filled out the survey! If you did not receive a survey, please check your email spam filter or contact the Teaching and Learning Department by emailing TahomaUpdates@TahomaSD.US.

A message from our wonderful PTSA
We would love for you to attend (via zoom) our general meeting on Feb. 8 at 6 p.m. All are invited, especially those who are interested in serving as a PTSA committee chair. We need new chairs for almost all our positions so we can offer the great programs we all love in the Fall and throughout the entire school year! Check our website www.lwptsa.org or email president@lwptsa.org for more information!
Self-Care
What is self-care? Self-care describes a conscious act one takes in order to promote their own physical, mental, and emotional health. There are many forms self-care may take. It could be ensuring you get enough sleep every night or stepping outside for a few minutes for some fresh air. Use this link or form below to track ways you can take care of your body, relationships and heart!
