From the Principal
Dear TMA Parents and Families,
We are opening STAR Terrace again for afternoon pickups! Prior to COVID, STAR Terrace (near the front gate where our beautiful mural is) was our meeting place for parents and students each day at dismissal. Beginning Monday, September 12, it will open again! We will open the side front gate to parents at 2:40, and you can meet your children in the STAR Terrace at dismissal. This will help alleviate parents and children trying to meet up in front of the school where the childcare vans need to pick up their students. Students in classrooms 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 may continue to be picked up by the gate in front of the Multi, or you may have your younger child walk around to join an older sibling in the STAR Terrace.
I realize this is a new change for some of you, but the safety of our children must always be at the forefront of our decisions. Thanks in advance for your help with this adjustment.
REMINDER: Thursday, Sept. 15 is a Minimum Day. Staff will be attending Lockdown and Active Intruder Training.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Wendy Hudson
Interim Principal
