Tambark Creek Principal Newsletter

Dear TCE Families,

Thank you for helping us get off to a great start this school year! We were thrilled to welcome back our returning students and to greet our youngest Mountain Lions for the first time. A special welcome to all of our new families—it's wonderful to have you join our community.

I appreciate your continued support and cooperation during arrival and dismissal. Your efforts help ensure a safe and smooth process for all students. I’ve included a link to our arrival and dismissal procedures here.

Please review the birthday treat policy here

Curriculum Night

Later this month, we will host our annual Curriculum Night. Due to our growing enrollment, we will hold two sessions to accommodate all families.

Principal Welcome & School Overview (in the Café):

Session 1: 5:00–5:25 PM

Session 2: 6:00–6:25 PM

Classroom Curriculum Presentations:

Grades 3–5: 5:30–6:00 PM

Grades K–2: 6:30–7:30 PM

Your child’s teacher will send a reminder as we get closer to the date. This is a great opportunity to learn about classroom expectations, curriculum highlights, and ways to support learning at home.

Volunteer Opportunities

If you're interested in getting involved at TCE, we would love to have your support as a volunteer!

We are especially looking for help during:
