Aug 29, 2021 Principal Update
2021-2022 School Year
Tilghman Families,
I am so excited that tomorrow is the official start of the 2021-2022 school year! Woohoo!
We can't wait to see you and your student bright and early tomorrow morning. We are going to have an amazing school year together!
Just a few friendly reminders:
- Masks are required for all students, staff, and families regardless of vaccination status while in TES.
- Doors open at 8:30 and instruction begins at 8:45.
- Parents will not be permitted to walk their child to class the first day of school, as we are trying to limit visitors to the building and maintain safety for our students and staff. There will be staff outside and inside of the building to escort students to the correct classrooms.
- Free breakfast will be served in the classrooms.
- Lunch is free for all students this year.
- Please send your child to school with a water bottle. The water station will be available.
- Classes will take outside mask breaks during the day.
- At this time, students will not be required to wear masks during outside recess.
- Dismissal this year is at 3:20.
- If you have not filled out the FARMS form, please consider doing so.
If you have specific questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Car Rider Procedures
It's vital that we keep everyone safe.
When in the car rider line, please do NOT pull out to leave the circle if there is a car still in front of you. It takes a bit of time for our littlest learners to get in and out of vehicles and passing is a huge safety issue. It is also important to note that the car rider line is the appropriate way to drop off and pick up your student(s). Please have students: Ready with their masks and book bags on prepared to exit the car. Efficiency is key for a smooth car rider line.
Dismissal:
Students in grades Pre-K, K, and 1st (AND their siblings) will be dismissed in the car rider loop off of Foster Road. Students in grades 2, 3, 4, and 5 will be dismissed in the car rider loop off of Tilghman Island Road. If you are picking up children other than your own, please make sure Ms. Debby knows prior to the end of the day. Please do not park and walk up to the building in order to bypass waiting in the car rider line. Additionally, if your child is a walker, please walk to the front entrance and let Ms. Debby know. She will call for your student to meet you at the front. Dismissal time is 3:20.
Let's See Our Tilghman Tigers
