Ms. Goodman, Kindergarten
Her words of wisdom for our Timberwolf family are from her favorite poet...
"Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it."
Dr. Maya Angelou
Ms. Bittner, Fifth Grade
My words of wisdom come from Dr. Maya Angelou, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." I hope that all of our Tuscarora students and families know that they matter, and I want everyone to feel accepted and respected for being true to themselves.
Ms. Babb, EL Teacher
Outside of school, Ms. Babb likes reading, biking & spending time with family & friends.
Her words of wisdom:
"A community that is engaged and working together can be a powerful force."
Idowu Koyenikan

Maryland COVID Alert Service
Marylanders can now use MD COVID Alert to receive notices about COVID-19 exposure on smartphones. The system uses Bluetooth Low Energy technology to quickly notify users who might have been exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19 with the goal of reducing infections in Maryland.
MD COVID Alert was specifically designed to protect the privacy and personal information of users. Users remain anonymous, their location is never tracked, and no data is collected from their smartphones. Using Bluetooth technology, the system can detect if two devices are near each other without revealing where the devices are or who they belong to.
