Tyngsborough Elementary School
These are certainly challenging times and we truly appreciate your patience and feedback as we navigate this together. Please know our staff has worked tirelessly to maintain ongoing communication and connections with all of you. It is never our intent to overwhelm or inundate you with emails, social media posts, or video conferencing sessions, but staying connected is our number one priority right now!
Now that we are "back in school", please make time for some exercise, outdoor, and family time. We must all find the balance during this time.
Reminder: Kids look to the adults in their lives for guidance on how to react to events happening around them. It's so important that we manage our own anxiety and stress in order to best support our kids!
Some resources that our school counselors and I wanted to share with you.

Home Learning Resources
Here is a link to our new Home Learning Resources website which has been posted on the District home page. As you will see, this page contains a brief overview and three “buttons,” one for each school, that will take you to a school specific Google Doc entitled Home Learning Resources - School Initials. Each doc is intended to provide families with a structure to support their students from home. These docs will serve as a menu of resources compiled for our students that can be utilized for enrichment purposes in addition to those communicated by individual teachers.
Message from our School Counselors
Dear Families,
Please know that we will continue to be available to support your children during our time away from school. If you have a specific question or concern regarding your child, or if you just want to reach out to say hello and let us know how your family is doing, please do not hesitate to reach out via email.
In addition, we strongly encourage you to follow and/or "like" our School Counselor Facebook Page, as we will be providing daily updates with information for you and your students including: articles, videos, mindfulness activities, STRIPES challenges, social emotional learning opportunities as well as offering ways for your child to stay connected with us! The link to our Facebook page: Tyngsborough Elementary School Counselors (www.facebook.com/TESCounselors)
We hope that your family is well as we all transition into this new way of communicating. We look forward to staying in touch with all of you!

A Message from the Tigerartists’ Studio
It is likely that you have heard about the positive impact that being in communication with your child’s teacher can have on you, the teacher, and your child. Together, parents and teachers can connect what’s happening at school with what’s happening at home. Let’s connect through Instagram and Twitter! @tigerartists is where you can see all of the latest creative adventures happening in the TES art studio as well as collect ideas for artsy family outings and home learning experiences. You can message and direct message me easily - I love hearing from parents! Thank you to those of you who have already connected, I look forward to engaging with the many other TES parents of my wonderfully creative tigerartists!
