Terrapin Tidbits
SY21 TCES Family Issue #24
February 15, 2021
Hello Terrapins!
K and Grade 1 Students: we can't wait to welcome you back tomorrow and Wednesday!
2nd-5th Graders: just two more weeks and we'll be welcoming you back, too.
As a reminder, all of our health and safety procedures were outlined in Terrapin Tidbits, Issue 23. If you didn't watch our TCES Safe Return Video, please view it with your student prior to their return date. Our talented TCES actors were recognized during last Wednesday's BOE Meeting. Dr. Smith said, "If you want to feel good, take 13 minutes; it's a great video, the staff is hilarious and cute...." Check it out!
It's a great day to be a Terrapin!
All the best,
Lindsay Brenfleck
