Dr. Pepukayi and Board President Emily Jackson held the first in a series of Community Listening Sessions at Chapel District Elementary on Tuesday November 14. Members of the CDES community engaged in a dialogue about what is going well and what can be improved upon, and had the opportunity to ask questions and discuss issues specific to their school.

Join the 70+ teachers, administrators, and support staff that have already enrolled in the TCPS SafeTime registration drive. This all-new app is designed to both empower us all with a super easy social media integrated tool to alert the proper authorities if we see something suspicious, AND to raise student self-esteem via the creation and exposure to fun, positive messaging. Students will be encouraged to share their creativity with opportunities to win $1000 scholarships. Parents/guardians and students will be invited to register starting September 17. Thank you!
