Terrapin Tidbits
SY22 TCES Family Issue #6
A Week: October 11 - 15, 2021
Hello TCES Families,
October is Fire Prevention Month. We held our second fire drill of the year last Thursday. Our TCES Terrapins did an outstanding job following our school expectations during the drill. We are fortunate to have the Bay District Volunteer Fire Department coming to present to us about Fire Safety on Thursday, October 28th.
Kind regards,
Mrs. Lindsay Brenfleck
Proud TCES Principal

Student Flu Clinic Information
The St. Mary's County Health Department and Maryland Partnership for Prevention will be offering flu vaccines in the SMCPS elementary and middle school settings once again this year. The date for Town Creek Elementary School is Wednesday, October 20. If you would like your child to receive the vaccine, you must complete the online registration prior to 10/14/2021. There will be no exceptions for late registration. If your online registration is not complete, or your child has a symptom or medical condition that the vaccinator feels puts your child at risk to receive the vaccination in the school setting, your child will NOT receive the vaccination even if you registered. In that scenario, you will need to contact your child's healthcare provider to make arrangements for the vaccination.
Linked here is a letter from the health department regarding the flu clinics. This link: Sign Up for Flu Vaccinations - TCES on 10/20/2021 will take you to registration specifically for our school.
