"Learning for All, Whatever it Takes"
A Message from Dr. Long, Principal
As fall sets in, please be reminded to dress your children appropriately. Sweatshirts or light jackets may be needed early in the morning for the bus stop and on chilly afternoons for recess.
Also, please be aware that we have 1 day this month where children will not have school. On October 9th, Berkeley County Schools will be having their first Professional Learning Day. Again, there will be no school for students on that day. In addition to this, Interim grades will be available in Schoology on this date.
Picture day will take place for both Brick and Click students on the 28th of this month. A schedule will be coming out to you within the coming weeks. Click students will have set times throughout the day to come in for pictures.
Finally, I would like to encourage all of the families at Tuscarora to participate in OLWEUS Kick-Off Week 19-23.
Have a wonderful beginning to fall!
Tyler M. Long Ed.D
