Titan Nation-Up for a Friendly FM District Challenge... I know we can win!!!
As you may/may not know, the district launched an official district app on the first day of school this year. The app provides quick access to tools including the tip line, important school and district information, calendars, Peachjar, menus, and more. This app also allows you the ability to “follow” individual schools.
The district is running a district-wide competition beginning Monday, September 23 and will run until October 31 to see which school can get the most parent follows. Parents will need to both download the app and select your school to follow. A prize will be given to one school with the most followers at each level– elementary, middle, and high school.
We only get votes if you download and follow Tega Cay Elementary.
The winners will announce the winner the first week of November.
Can you help Tega Cay win??? Download today!

4.) Please do NOT allow your students to poke Humphrey or put their tiny fingers in his cage :)
Security
Our school security system is now being set each night and on the weekends. If you come to school after hours or over the weekend, you will need to park in the bus loop and use the cafeteria foyer entrance.
The security keypad is located on the left wall by the lost and found items. The code to disarm the system is 6248.
When you enter the building, enter quickly… you have 30 seconds before the alarm goes off… if you see this:
You will need to disarm the system, enter 6248 and press OFF (#1 on the keypad). Once disarmed, it will look like the picture below.
After you disarm the system, you will need to sign the record sheet in the notebook with the NAME, DATE, and TIME, so we will know you are in the building.
When you leave, please sign out... YOU DO NOT have to set the alarm.
If you are uncertain about how to use the alarm system and would like more help, please see Lisa, Tripp, or Brigitte.
