Dear TCS Families!
Everyone should go home and eat as much Vitamin C as they can! The germs are running rampant! Remember to wash your hands, get plenty of rest, and eat well! To review- in the handbook the attendance policy is explained. It says:
Students have 2 days per semester where they can be excused from school by a parent/guardian. Those absences can be due to illness or other family commitments. Any additional absences will only be excused with a doctor’s note explaining the necessity of the absence. More than 5 absences in a semester will result in a family meeting with the Head of School to create a plan for sustainable success. Moreover, 5 tardy arrivals to school will count as 1 absence. A student who does not earn enough class time for optimal learning will not receive credit for that class. There is no integrity in giving credit for something not earned.
I hope everyone is coming home and sharing stories about what they are learning in class. When I go in to observe I am seeing lots of engagement and wonderful lessons. I had a very interesting conversation with one of our new students where they told me that they had never been to a school before where they were allowed to go outside. It was such a simple sentence but really made me think about all the small but special ways our school is different from many other schools.
Please mark your calendars- Homecoming this year will be the weekend of the 18th of October. We will have a school dance on Friday the 18th at 7pm, and then on Saturday the 19th 11am-2pm we will have an alumni vs student basketball game and a cookout! Please plan on attending the events on Saturday if you can make it. ALL students are welcome to attend the dance on Friday night. More info will come home about the details.
SAT/ACT Review is cancelled on Friday- There is an ACT training online and Ms. Jasmine wants to attend to learn about all the new changes coming up to that test.
The drawing for the Free Tuition raffle is on September 16th! You still have time to buy tickets. (I'm attaching a ticket, or you can just send in a check and tell me what you want me to write.)
