Hello Terrapins!
Please accept my best wishes for you and your families this summer. For our families who are moving to new schools, we hope you find wonderful new friends and remember us fondly. For our families who are leaving TCES for middle school, "Congratulations!" We hope you feel well-prepared for the next set of challenges and we look forward to hearing news of your success. For our families who are enjoying summer break, we look forward to seeing you again in late August, ready for 5-day weeks of in-person learning!
Stay tuned to the TCES Website and our Special Edition News Bulletin for summer opportunities and information relating to School Year 2022!
Wishing you all the best,
Lindsay Brenfleck
