Hello TGS family,

My name is Mrs. Tammen and I am so excited to be joining the TGS family again. I was part of the TGS family 13 years ago as a brand new teacher. I am joining it now as your new Assistant Principal. In my free time, I’m most likely at a baseball field cheering on one of my three boys. I can’t wait to get this year started, it’s going to be an amazing school year.

I am so glad to see that many of you are doing the online registration. However it looks like many have done so under the new family link instead of logging into TeacherEase. If you are a returning family please do not use the New Family link. Please log onto your TeacherEase account and you will be prompted to register your child(ren). If you used the New Family link, please go into you TeacherEase account and register again online. Again, thank you for registering online. We will see you to complete the registration process on the 8th at Fountain Valley 11-1 or 4-7 or in the gym on the 10th 9-11 or 4-7. See you soon!

At TGS, we believe in rewarding good behaviors and respectful attitudes. Students will be acknowledged for exhibiting P.R.I.D.E. expectations on a regular basis. Staff will be awarding TGS Pride Bucks'. Students will be able to spend their P.R.I.D.E bucks at the TGS store. That’s where we could use your help! Your donation would be greatly appreciated!

Today we say goodbye to someone who has made a lasting impact on our school and in our hearts—Mr. Steve Martin, our incredible Teaching Assistant, is retiring! Loved by students, staff, and families alike, Steve brought kindness, humor, and a steady presence to every classroom he stepped into. Whether helping with lessons, offering a listening ear, or making us laugh just when we needed it most, he gave his all every single day. Thank you, Steve, for your years of dedication and heart. You’ve truly made a difference. Enjoy your well-earned retirement—you’ll be deeply missed, but never forgotten!

We wish you the best at Fisher Grade School next year.
