Tamanend Connections
We Are Together Tamanend!
October 1, 2012
New Online Newsletter
Introducing the new and improved Tamanend Connections newsletter. We will use this newsletter communicate things that were in TMS Update emails. We hope this new format will enhance our communications and continue to support us in being Tamanend Together.
Veteran's Day Assembly Planning
Tamanend will hold its Veteran’s Day Assembly on November 9th. As part of assembly, we are asking for photos of Tamanend students pictured with military personnel to be presented as a video montage. The photos of TMS students can include both current students and alumni. If you have pictures to share, please submit them to Mr. Brian Blair by November 1, 2012 or email him at bblair@cbsd.org.
PA Keystone Exams
Students currently taking an Algebra course will take the PA Keystone Exam in Algebra this year, unless they took the Algebra Keystone two years ago and were proficient. The following is a link with more information about the PA Keystone Exams: http://www.cbsd.org/curriculum/assessment/Pages/PA-Keystone-Exams.aspx.
