Tiger Tales Monthly Newsletter

Dear Tiger Families,

We have had a wonderful start to the 2026–2027 school year! Throughout August, our students learned routines, built relationships, and practiced what it means to be a Thomas Crossroads Tiger. As we move into September, we will continue strengthening those foundations while focusing on academic growth, responsibility, and student success.

Thank you for supporting regular attendance, on-time arrival, reading at home, and open communication with your child’s teacher. Your partnership makes a meaningful difference. When our families, students, and staff work together, everything is possible!

One Team, One ROAR!

Dr. Robyn Scott
Principal

REACH Parents,

Mrs. Gladden will give a brief Open House presentation for REACH parents at 4:30 on September 1st. She will be available for questions and to chat from 5:00-6:00. Hope to see you there!

More information about the REACH Program can be found at the REACH site: https://tinyurl.com/TCEREACH.

Does your child enjoy creative problem-solving and thinking outside-of-the-box? Creativity Club is a fun monthly opportunity to learn and practice creative thinking skills. We work on Fluency (How many ideas can I think of?), Flexibility (What else is possible?), Elaboration (What details can make my idea even better?), and Originality (How can I create unique ideas that are all my own?).

Anyone can join Creativity Club! Students will need to arrive at school by 7:30AM (morning bus riders meet this requirement). Be on the lookout for a sign up form coming home with your child. Please return the form to school no later than Friday, September 11th if you would like your child to participate in Creativity Club. You can also register online at https://tinyurl.com/TCCreativityClub through September 5th.

Attention parents of competitive 4th and 5th grade students with a broad knowledge of math, history, fine arts, geography, children’s literature, science, and current events: Tryouts for the TCE’s Scholar Squad/Academic Bowl Team will be after school on Tuesday, September 15th and Tuesday, September 22nd until 3:30PM. Students interested in trying out must pick up a Tryout Permission Form from Mrs. Gladden or Ms. Dawn and return it by Friday, September 11th to attend tryouts. Parent pickup will be in front of the school (office/main door entrance loop) promptly at 3:30.

September: Everything Is Possible

This month, we will celebrate students who demonstrate the “Everything Is Possible” mindset! These students are resilient, believe in themselves, set goals, and don’t give up when something feels difficult. They understand that mistakes and challenges are opportunities to learn and grow.

We encourage our Tigers to dream big, believe in themselves, and remember: with a positive attitude, perseverance, and effort, Everything Is Possible!
