Titan Tidbits Parent Edition!
Volume 9 | October 26-30, 2026
Good afternoon Titan Families,
Welcome to the last week of October! Time is truly flying by! We are so proud of our Titans and their commitment to learning, growing academically, and developing as individuals.
Over the past few weeks, our Titan family has come together to celebrate Unity Day, embracing our differences and recognizing how they make us stronger as one family. We have also raised awareness for breast cancer, highlighting the importance of coming together as a community to support one another. These experiences remind us that when we celebrate our differences and care for one another, we build a stronger, more connected Titan family.
We are excited to continue our momentum with Red Ribbon Week next week! Red Ribbon Week is the perfect time to focus on healthy choices for bodies and minds. As we wrap up October, our students have learned about their peers (Unity Day), the community (breast cancer awareness), and the importance of taking care of themselves (Red Ribbon Week). This wrap-around approach will help our Titans strive to be the best versions of themselves.
Thank you for partnering with TCES! Our school community is better because of your support.
Learning and growing together every day,
Brigitte A. Wagner, Principal
This is a friendly but important reminder that students must be inside the building by 7:35 a.m. to be considered on time. Students who are not inside the building after the bell rings at 7:35 a.m. will be marked tardy. If your child arrives tardy, a parent or guardian must walk them into the front office and sign them in.
As the weather cools, we are seeing an increase in car riders, which means our morning drop-off line is busy from beginning to end. We understand that mornings can be hectic, and we appreciate your patience and cooperation. However, it is important that families plan ahead and allow enough time for the drop-off process.
Please make every effort to leave home earlier so your child has time to arrive, enter the building, and be ready to learn by 7:35 a.m.
Thank you for your continued support and for helping us ensure a smooth, safe, and timely arrival for all students!
Need to change how your child is getting home for the day?
All temporary, same-day transportation changes must now be submitted through the TCES Transportation Change Request Form.
For example, if your child normally rides the bus but needs to be a car rider due to an appointment, please complete the form. It takes less than 60 seconds and helps ensure the change is communicated to everyone involved in dismissal.
Transportation changes will no longer be accepted by phone or email to your child’s teacher or the front office.
Please submit all same-day changes by 1:30 p.m.
Thank you for helping us keep dismissal safe, organized, and efficient!
Tega Cay Elementary would like to honor the veterans of our community with a Veterans Day Breakfast held on Friday, November 13th, 2026, at 8:00 AM in the TCES Cafeteria. Please arrive by 7:45. Veterans who have family members that attend TCES are invited to come in and have breakfast with their student. Veterans' spouses are also invited.
