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.

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.
SAVE THE DATE:
Turner Creek Elementary will be sponsoring a School Spirit Skate event on Saturday, May 5 at the Cary JELLY BEANS Skate Center, 1120 Buck Jones Road. The "Private Skate" session is 5:15 PM to 7:00 PM. Turner Creek families pay only $4 to participate, and that price includes quad skate rentals! (In-line skate rental is $1 more.)
+++ PLUS+++ as long as you arrive by 6:30 PM, you'll be able to continue the fun and skate right into the next session! TCE skaters are invited to skate for free during the "Family Skate" session that follows, 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. That's over 4 hours of TV-Turned-Off FUN for just $4!
PTA Needs YOU!
Our Nominating Committee works as a team to seek PTA volunteers for our upcoming school year. All PTA positions are crucial as we support our school’s programs both physically and financially. TCE PTA is seeking your talents to help our PTA. We have many volunteer opportunities open for the 2018/ 19 school-year. Please consider signing up to help in one of the following ways:
-Spirit Nights Chair- This volunteer communicates with local vendors and sets up spirit night activities (restaurants, activity-based, etc) and coordinates a percentage given back to TCE PTA. This volunteer is responsible for communicating the details of the Spirit Nights to the TCE families. This position can mainly be done from home, and you can set your schedule. This is a job that could be done by a working parent or parent with small children at home.
-Book Fair Chair- Ideally this would be a small group of volunteers (3-4) working as a team to coordinate the book fair with the help of our Librarians. This position includes: communicating book fair news to the TCE families, attending book sales, decorating/ clean-up before/ during/ after, and tallying sales. Some work must be done at the school during school-hours. This is a position that someone with a younger child could assist with.
Please contact our Nominating Committee Chair, Laurie Singh at: lauriesingh3@gmail.com to learn more or to sign up. Training and shadowing the current chair for all positions is available. We look forward to working with you.
Kindergarten Registration has started!
January 4 was the start of Kindergarten registration for the 2018-2019 school year.
We are accepting registrations Monday – Friday from 9:30 – 2:00. The packet can be found on our website, bring that along with a proof address (power bill, gas bill or water bill), child’s birth certificate, photo ID for parent and the most current shot record to the Main Office during the designated times.
Box Tops and Tyson A+ Labels
Help Us Raise Money for TCE!
We just earned $335 from Box Tops for Education! The next Box Tops submission date is November 1st. Please make sure they have valid dates (dated 11/1/2018 and beyond). The Box Tops collection bin is located 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.
