Aug 2021 Principal Update
Preparing for the 2021-2022 School Year!
Tilghman Families,
I hope this update finds you well and enjoying the last bit of summer! We, at TES, have been busy preparing for the upcoming year and holding our summer learning experiences. Students and staff, alike, have had a fantastic time! As always, we continue to do our absolute best for our children and families!!!! Safety for staff, students, and families remains a priority and we will keep you updated as we get new information. As a reminder, our first day of school for all students (including Pre-K) will be Monday, August 30th.
Your child’s teacher will be contacting you the week of August 16th to schedule your parent/teacher conference. At this time, we are planning on giving parents the option of a virtual or in-person 30 minute conference. These conferences will take place on Thursday, August 26th and Friday, August 27th. Teachers will be reaching out to you to determine which date/time works best with your family’s schedule. Conferences provide an opportunity for teachers to learn about your child in order to best meet his/her needs for the start of school on August 30th.
We look forward to seeing our students and families soon! We're going to have a fantastic year!
