TCES Shelter Update!!

Mr. Hoke has issued the order to Antal Construction to build a 24’x40’ shelter structure on top of a concrete slab before the start of the next school year. The PTO has donated the $17,330 raised by our amazing, generous school community towards this project and Mr. Hoke and the School Board are covering the balance of the project. We are so excited for this project to be completed. We want to thank each and every one of you who participated in our Read-a-thon and helped make this happen!!

Please continue to do wellness checks at home prior to sending your student to school. Any student with a fever should remain home until he/she is fever free for 24 hours. Also, if your student has been COVID tested and you are waiting for the results, your student should remain at home until results have been received. Always reach out to the school and/or school nurse if you have any questions or concerns.

Know the symptoms to monitor:

• Fever or chills
• Cough
• Shortness of Breath or difficulty breathing
• Fatigue
• Muscle or body aches
• Headache
• New loss of taste or smell
• Sore throat
• Congestion or runny nose
• Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea

Thank you for your support and diligence keeping our students healthy and safe!

Reminder...While masks are optional in the school buildings, they are still required on buses due to the federal mandate. Thank you for your help getting all our Tigers masked-up and ready for the bus in the morning!!!

• Return to school on Day 6 if asymptomatic or symptoms are resolving and must mask for Days 6-10 while adhering to social distancing protocols.
• Can resume extracurricular activities on Day 6 only if able to wear a mask properly at all times for Days 6-10, above conditions are met and cleared by a physician

If a student is designated as a close contact of a COVID positive individual:

If fully vaccinated (have received all doses of vaccines, including booster if eligible)

WHAT: Free developmental screenings for children.

WHY: If you suspect delays in speech, readiness, motor skills, or other areas of development in your preschooler, early intervention is the best strategy to remediate these delays before kindergarten.

WHO: Contact Terri Branson or Kevin Prickett at 317-835-3003 to schedule a free screening.
