Dear Truman School Parents,

We are so excited to begin a wonderful new school year and look forward to partnering with you to support your child's success!

We're happy to let you know that your child's teacher for the upcoming school year will be released to parents at the end of next week.

We hope you'll join us for our Supply Drop-Off on Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026, where students will have the opportunity to meet their teacher and get acquainted with their classroom ahead of the first day of school. It's a great way to ease those first-day jitters!

Supply Drop-Off Times

Students with last names A-H: 1-2 p.m.

Students with last names I-Z: 2-3 p.m.

Enter through Door 1

Visit our Back to School website for more details and grade-level school supply lists for prekindergarten, kindergarten and first grade.

The first day of school is Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2026. Remember to label your child's backpack with their first and last name. Your child's backpack is an important way for school-to-home communication. It is also recommended to include in the backpack the household address, parent contact name and phone number.

Bus transportation information will be sent directly from WNY Bus Company in the coming weeks.

We are eager to welcome all of our students and see their smiling faces at Truman soon!

Warmly,

Julie Clark, Principal and Ashli Krotz, Assistant Principal
Truman Elementary School
