- Thursday, 10/3- Systemwide Professional Development Day & Rosh Hashanah - Schools Closed for Students
- Tuesday, 10/8- Picture Day
- Tuesday, 10/15- PTO meeting in person in TGES cafeteria
- Friday, 10/18- Schools Closed for Teachers and Students (MSEA Convention)
- Friday, 10/25- Trunk or Treat
- Thursday, 10/31- First Marking Period Ends - Half Day For Students - TGES will dismiss at 12:05
Dismissal is from 3:05-3:20.
- Your student is considered late if they arrive after 8:20. An adult will need to walk them into the front office to check them in.
- If you need to pick your child up early, please try and do so 30 minutes prior to dismissal (3:05).
- Please be mindful of where you are parking in the morning during arrival to drop off your student. There are no drop-offs on the side staff parking lot. You must use the carpool loop line to drop off your student or park on the street to walk them up.
We are experiencing some dismissal hiccups regarding carpool. It has been brought to our attention that parents are walking up to the carpool or front door to get their child(ren) instead of staying in the carpool line. This is not best practice. Please alert the office or teacher if there are dismissal changes. We do not want parents to pick up carpool students up from the cafeteria or front door going forward.
**IMPORTANT CROSSWALK SAFETY INFORMATION**
We kindly ask all families to use the designated crosswalks when dropping off and picking up students. There have been numerous concerns raised so far this year already about safety, and we want to ensure a safe environment for everyone.
Using the crosswalks helps protects individuals and encourages safe habits. Thank you for your cooperation.

Congratulations to Ms. Stock's homeroom for having the best homeroom attendance for the month of September! Each student in her homeroom received a certificate for practicing great attendance habits.
The Importance of Regular Attendance
According to the Maryland Compulsory Attendance Law, "Under Maryland law, a truant student is one who is “unlawfully absent” from school for more than:
- 8 days in any quarter,
- 15 days in any semester, OR
- 20 days in a school year."
Do you and your student(s) want to see more before/after school sports programs? Do you want to attend more parent workshops? Do you have an idea or opinion on how you envision our school and community? We want to hear from YOU to make it happen!
We value your opinion & want our events and activities to reflect what YOU want. Take this confidential needs assessment to help us prioritize how we run future community events and student programs!
Mrs. Galvin will be taking the information from the surveys to see where are strengths are and where we could use improvements as a school. Once we have enough data, we can start funding fun activities and programs!

Stevenson University's Phi Sigma Sigma Sorority
Each month we will share information on one of our partnerships that support Timber Grove. We will highlight the incredible hard work, generosity, and positive impacts they have on our school and community. We are excited to grow our community school partnerships and are always looking to expand!
Our next shout out goes to the women at Stevenson University's Phi Sigma Sigma sorority! Two representatives from the chapter showed up at our back to school night event and provided school supplies for students to take. Extra supplies were distributed to teachers for their classrooms. The sorority also kindly donated hygiene bags filled with deodorant, combs, hand lotion, toothbrushes, and toothpaste to ALL of our 5th grade students and Nurse Brown!!
We look forward to continuing our partnership this year with the wonderful women through Phi Sigma Sigma! Thank you for all your support!
