Field Day
A big THANK YOU to all of the volunteers who helped to make this event so wonderful!! Thank you especially to Alexis Henry who organized everything! We hope to see you all next year.
Is your child returning to a WCPSS school?
If your child will NOT be returning to a WCPSS school next year, please email Martha Long at: mlong@wcpss.net to let her know where your child will be attending school next year.
Charter schools are NOT part of WCPSS! If your child will be attending a charter school, we need to know. Thank you!
Girls on the Run Coaches Needed!
We are in need of 2 GOTR coaches for the 2019-2020 school year! Right now we have enough coaches to have a Tues/Thurs team, but not enough to have an additional team on Mon/Wed.
Coaches can be school staff, parents, grandparents, siblings over 18 years of age, etc. You do not have to be a runner, as we tell the girls, you just have to keep moving forward, whether you walk, run, skip or jump! Training, curriculum and materials are all provided. You must be have a background check completed and be CPR and First Aid certified (GOTR will help you schedule this and pay for it too!)
The fall season begins the week of Sept. 23rd and runs for 10 weeks, ending with the 5k at Koka Booth Amphitheater on Dec. 14th. Practices are held after school, from 4-5:15pm.
Please contact Jennifer Burdette if you are interested: jburdette@wcpss.net.
School Supply Kits for 2019-20 ON SALE NOW!
Be on the lookout for an informational flyer soon in your child's Friday Folder! Track 3 will receive a flyer when tracked back in.
Want to avoid the hassle of shopping for school supplies? Order a pre-assembled kit through SchooToolBox for your child's grade level. Backpacks, lunchboxes, and other supplies are available through SchoolToolBox as well. ALL KITS and other merchandise will be shipped to your home address rather than to TCE as in past years.
To get started:
- · Visit https://www.schooltoolbox.com/stbDirect/index.php?r=site/index .
- · Click on "Pre-Built Boxes" under the "Shop Now" tab on left hand side of screen
- · Enter Turner Creek Elementary when it asks for your child's school to see the list of school kits for each grade level
Please note: Pricing of Kits DOES NOT include a magazine subscription or agenda if applicable. These items will still need to be purchased through the PTA at Meet the Teacher or during first week of school for an additional cost. There is also no option available for incoming Kindergarten students as their lists are teacher specific.

Box Tops and Tyson A+ Labels
Help Us Raise Money for TCE!
Great job Turner Creek! We earned $220 with the March submission. This brings our annual earnings to $784!! The next Box Tops submission date is November 1, 2019. Please make sure they have valid dates (dated 11/1/2019 and beyond). If the Box Top is labeled between 3/1/2019-10/30/2019, we have to throw them away! The Box Tops collection bin is in the TCE lobby across from the main office.
Clipping Box Tops is an easy way for you to help our school buy what it needs. Box Tops are each worth 10¢ and they quickly add up to real cash for our school. Here is a link showing participating Box Tops products.
Clip Tyson Project A+ labels from participating Tyson® product packages and send them to school with your child. We’ll collect the labels and send them to Tyson Foods, and Tyson Foods will send our school a check. Each label is worth 24¢!
Please drop your Tyson Project A+ labels in the Box Tops collection bin in the TCE lobby. Here is a link for a list of participating products.
