If 75% of our students earn their April Tiger Tag (complete writing at-home writing assignment for April), we will have SNOW CONE DAY during lunch!

Let's keep our TIGER WRITERS writing!!!

Wild About Writing Token Winners above. The next drawing will be in May. Names drawn will receive a blank hardback book to publish and have cataloged in the TCES Library!!!

The best way to prepare your student at home is to stress the importance of doing his/her personal best. You will want to find a balance between encouraging strong effort, yet reducing anxiety. Please help to ensure that your child has plenty of sleep, eats a healthy breakfast, and comes to school on time and prepared with a snack, water, headphones, and a good attitude. We also appreciate the scheduling of appointments around testing dates so students can be present at school during assessment days.

As presented at the March School Board meeting, the current cost of operation of our TCES Childcare program is approx. $77,000 a school year. The program brings in approximately $55,800, which puts the program in the deficit. To date, the district has been able to provide supplement funding to cover this underage. Those funds will end in 2024. With additional systemic changes that need to made for staffing concerns, it was determined to be the best time to also address financial concerns. Please review the following Welcome to TCES Childcare informational letter (changes have been highlighted in yellow).
