Are You or Your Students Drowning in Email?
Some teachers have shown their students this little trick.
What Happened to my Kid?
Let's face it, middle school age can be rough. It is tough for the kids, parents, and anyone who cares for a middle schooler. One minute they are the sweetest kids you know and the next you are talking to King/Queen of Attitude. The rollercoaster ride is enough to make you want to pull your hair out. Here is an article on how one mom addressed the question:
How do I tell my wonderful 11 year old son, (in a way that won’t tear him down), that the way he has started talking to me (disrespectfully) makes me not want to be around him (I’ve already told him the bad attitude is unacceptable)?
Halloween PRIDE Friday!
Standards Based Grading Q&A
My Closet has COATS - Repeat
As the weather gets cooler, it is time to start thinking about winter coats.
Beginning October 19, TCSC students in Pre-K through 12 th grade will be eligible to
receive a winter coat, hat and gloves at no charge through “My Closet”. “My
Closet” serves students who are in a financial situation that may keep them from
getting the clothing they need. Parents do not have to meet income guidelines
for their child to receive items through “My Closet”. If parents feel the child is in
need, he/she qualifies. Students are also served one family at a time to maintain
confidentiality.
If finances are tight and you have a child who needs a new outfit or winter coat,
please contact Mrs. Gena Schultz at 675-7521 ext. 235 to schedule a time to come
and “shop” at “My Closet”. Remember, everything is new and free!
Due to restrictions caused by COVID, we must limit “shopping” to 1 adult
accompanying no more than 2 children per visit. If there are more than 2 children
in a family, we will have to set up an additional appointment. Everyone must
wear a mask, and adults must fill out a COVID checklist.
