Thank you for your support!
Mr. Kent and the TCES family
1. Don't forget to complete the Acceptable Use Policy agreement.
All students are required to have an acceptable use policy agreement (AUP) on file. This is to be completed by the PARENT or GUARDIAN of the student. This needs to be completed for each student you have in the school system. At the end of the form you have the option to submit another response for your additional students.
2. Volunteer at the Scholastic Book Fair!
Ms. Stearns is looking for volunteers to help at this year's book fair. Please sign up here! More information is also available on the event website.
3. IMPORTANT: Please fill out Impact Aid & Emergency Information Update forms

To receive these federal funds, the United States Department of Education (USDE) requires the school system to survey each student.Online Federal Impact Aid Forms are now available through the Home Access Center (HAC). Once logged in, directions to access the online form can be found HERE. A video with instructions is available HERE. The form can now be accessed in Spanish by clicking on the Globe in the top right-hand corner once the form has been started.
