A Message from Dr. Long, Principal
Dear Parents & Guardians,
We have some important dates that you should be aware of for the month of November. The week of November 2nd -6th, will be College Application & Exploration Week. Students at Tuscarora will be participating in a wide variety of activities for the week. Remember that on Tuesday, November 3rd, students & staff will not have school because of Election Day! On November 11th, there will be NO SCHOOL for students and staff in honor of Veterans Day. Individual student pictures for both brick & click students will take place on November 18th. Lastly, From November 25-27 there will be NO SCHOOL for students due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
Also please remember that we are rapidly coming up on the end of the 1st 9 weeks. I encourage you to please check your student’s grades weekly in Schoology and reach out to your child’s teacher if you have any questions.
Thank you for your patience and support during this trying time!
Have a wonderful November!
Dr. Tyler M. Long
