Greetings Terrapins Families!

Thank you for your timely responses to the TCES Return to School Response Form. If you have not yet completed the form, you may still do so today. Tomorrow, we will begin reaching out by phone to the families who have not responded.

We can't mask how excited we are to welcome our students back into the building! But we will be masking ourselves and all of our students will be wearing masks, too. Our terrific and tenacious TCES staff members are in the process of finalizing safety procedures for every single aspect of our students' day from the time they arrive in the morning all the way through dismissal. Safety continues to be our top priority!

Kindly,

Lindsay Brenfleck
