TCU Le Center K8 January News
2026
Dear TCU Le Center Families
As we come back from our Holiday Break, its been great to see our kids and here their voices in our hallways and classrooms again! The energy the bring each day is always something many of us as adults look forward to!
With the state of MN right now and all of the things occuring in the political and society realm, I want to just share that we care about all of our kids and families and are here to support! We know that there is anger, frustration, disappointment, & nervousness tied to our State and Federal governments right now. Whether its tied to state funds, budgets, or immigration activities, we still have one focus and that is the well being of all of our TCU LC Titans. We do not take sides and do not support anything that could harm OUR Le Center kids. When they come to school each day, we care for them as our own and supporting and educating them is our main purpose no matter what.
If you have any concerns, questions, or ideas for us, please do not every hesitate to reach out. We are thankful for our amazing kids, parents, guardians, families, and the supportive local community members of Le Center!! This is a good place to be.
Take Care,
Mr. Jeff Eppen, Principal

Symptoms of seasonal allergies and colds are upon us. Just a reminder for all... the health office does NOT provide cough drops or any other medications. Medications, whether over the counter or prescription, should not be brought to school unless you have a medication administration at school form completed and the medication is brought to the health office to be stored and administered by the health office per TCU school board policy. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Amanda Sladek, TCU District nurse at 507-364-8194 or asladek@tcu2905.us
Parents/Guardians are always welcome to join us as a lunch guest, but we have a few requests from our Food Service Department. Please call before 10:00AM to be added to the daily lunch count. When you arrive please stop in the office with payment and to pick up a visitor badge and meal pass. If you are bringing food from outside of the building you will need to check in and pick up a visitor pass.
Students being dropped off or walking to school may enter the building (Door 2S) at 7:30 am ONLY if they plan to eat breakfast at school. Students entering before 7:55 will be guided through the breakfast line. All other students should not arrive earlier than 7:55 am. Students may arrive 10 minutes prior to the start of their school day (8:05 AM). This will help reduce congestion and improve supervision. If childcare before school is needed, KidZone is available by calling Layne Wilbright at 507-364-3042 or by contacting his email at lwilbright@tcu2905.us.
Students who ride the bus will be allowed in when their bus arrives and are encouraged to eat breakfast at school. They report to a designated space to wait to be dismissed to classrooms/lockers @ 7:55 AM.
Parents who walk their children to school should accompany them to the front door (2S). Parents are not allowed to enter the building unless they check into the office (door 1S) for approval and have a valid reason to be in the building.

○ Drop Off - Before school begins - Door 2S (By Commons Area)

Updates to Traffic Flow for Drop off and Pick up times:
○ It is important to follow this traffic flow framework to increase student and parent safety, increase emergency vehicle accessibility, and increase the efficiency and timeliness of the pick-up and drop-off process. Thank you in advance for helping with this!
