Tilghman Tiger Talk
Principal's Update 2021
Happy Spring Break
Hello Tilghman Elementary Families,
Spring Break is HERE! Our TCPS Spring Break is April 2nd-11th. We hope you enjoy this much needed time to rest and relax with family!
TES will re-open on Monday, April 12th. At that time all in-person students, Pre-K through 5th grade, will be returning to TES for four full days of instruction (M, T, Th, and F). Please note that the doors open at 8:30 a.m. Breakfast is served between 8:30 and 8:45. Instruction begins at 8:45 a.m.
Teachers in grades 1-5 will continue to provide synchronous on-line small group instruction on Wednesday mornings. Please make every effort to have your child log on using FROG when you get specific information from your child's teacher. This instructional time will be used for enrichment, intervention, or reteaching. If you have specific questions, please feel free to call the school office.
IMPORTANT CHANGE: Please note that we will be changing our dismissal procedure starting Monday, April 12th. Students in grades Pre-K, K, and 1st (AND their siblings) will be dismissed in the car rider loop off of Foster Road. Students in grades 2, 3, 4, and 5 will be dismissed in the car rider loop off of Tilghman Island Road. We are hopeful that this change will lessen the congestion and prevent potential accidents. If you are picking up children other than your own, please make sure Ms. Debby knows prior to the end of the day. Dismissal time will remain 3:10.
We appreciate your continued support and flexibility!
As always, we continue to make the best choices for our students and to be #smallbutmighty.
Ms. Murdoch, Proud Principal
