Titan Tidbits Parent Edition!

Good afternoon Titan Families,

Recognize this stuffy to the left? Is this guy/girl is a member of your family? If so, reach out to Tracy Green so we can reunite you! The stuffy was found after Movie Night.

Our October student attendance was 97.71%—the highest in the entire district across all elementary, middle, and high schools! A number like that simply does not happen without our incredible families. We know the daily hustle it takes to get kids up, fed, packed, and out the door on time every single morning. Your dedication, consistency, and commitment to making school a priority show up in that 97.71%. Thank you for partnering with us and making sure our Titans are here and ready to learn every single day!

And now, about Friday...

🎪 MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: 20,000 MEALS PACKAGED IN TITAN COUNTRY! 🥣📦✨

The center ring in Titan Country wasn't just about learning on Friday, it was about living out true Compassion (Deernis) and service! In partnership with the Tega Cay Lions Club and Tega Cay Live, our entire school and community showed up in a massive way for Rise Against Hunger!

Step right up and check out these incredible numbers from today's event:

• 🥣 20,000 Meals Packaged!

• 🎒 Roughly 685 Students working side-by-side

• 🤝 195 Parent & Community Volunteers guiding, stocking, and cheering our kids on

• 🍎 95 Teachers & Staff Members leading the charge

From our youngest Kindergarteners to our 5th-grade leaders, our students rolled up their sleeves to measure, funnel, seal, and pack meals that will feed families in need around the world. Watching our Fort Mill School District leaders, former Titan Teachers (shoutout to Dr. Dunlap), TC Police Department, TC Fire Department, TC city leaders, parents, and community members work together alongside our kids proved once again why this is the Greatest School on Earth!

A massive thank you to the Anastacia Howell, Tega Cay Lions Club, Tega Cay Live, and every single volunteer who gave their time and heart today. When we pull together as five houses and one family, there is nothing our Titan community cannot achieve!💙💛🧡❤️💚 Check out photos from the day on Social Media!

Learning and growing together every day,

Brigitte A. Wagner, Principal

Need to change how your child is getting home for the day?

All temporary, same-day transportation changes must now be submitted through the TCES Transportation Change Request Form.

For example, if your child normally rides the bus but needs to be a car rider due to an appointment, please complete the form. It takes less than 60 seconds and helps ensure the change is communicated to everyone involved in dismissal.

Transportation changes will no longer be accepted by phone or email to your child’s teacher or the front office.

Please submit all same-day changes by 1:30 p.m.

Thank you for helping us keep dismissal safe, organized, and efficient!

Guardians of the Cay are father figures who volunteer on campus to help keep Titan Country safe, encourage our students, and be a positive presence in the hallways, the cafeteria, and at recess.

At the Greatest School on Earth, we know we have the absolute greatest students on earth. Our Titans are doing spectacular things every single day, not just inside our classrooms, but out in the community, too! Whether your child just took home a trophy at their soccer tournament, earned a ribbon in a chess match, hit a personal milestone in martial arts, or showed incredible character volunteering, we want to celebrate them!

We are thrilled to introduce our brand-new Center Ring Achievements initiative! We want to feature your child’s out-of-school accomplishments right where everyone can see them: on our grand Atrium Slideshow.

How to get your child in the spotlight: Whenever your Titan has an accomplishment, big or small, step right up and fill out our quick Google Form HERE!

The form will securely ask you for:

• 👤 Your child's name & teacher

• 🏆 A brief description of their recognition/accomplishment

• 📸 A picture of your smiling star (with their award, if they have one!)

Our students are the real magic of this show, and we cannot wait to watch the Atrium fill up with their brilliant achievements. Thank you for helping us celebrate the finest troupe in the land!

Stay cozy and show off your Titan pride with our new hoodies! Hoodies are $30 each, and quantities are limited, so don’t wait!

Purchase yours on our website at TCES PTO Online Store and scroll all the way to the bottom to find the hoodie order form. Grab yours before they’re gone!

Time to spend those hard-earned Titan Tickets! The first Titan Treasures Store for K–2nd Grade will be Friday, November 13th, from 7:05–7:30 AM in the Cafeteria.

Please have your student pre-count their Titan Tickets. Even better, bring tickets pre-stapled in groups of 5 to help make checkout quick and easy!

Our next Walk, Bike, Roll to School is Friday, Nov. 13! Join us at the Tega Cay Living Memorial Garden for a special treat!
