So long ELA MCAS & Spirit Week ahead!

👊ELA MCAS is behind us.  I'd like to celebrate all of our TPS students who worked hard, put forth their best efforts, and maybe even overcame technology glitches!  Looking ahead, Math MCAS is scheduled for grades 3-8 on May 5th and May 6th.  

⭐Reminder that report cards are posted for grades 6-8 today through the Powerschool portal! 

🎓Parents of 8th Grade, we are tentatively scheduled for graduation on 6/10 barring any more snow days or scheduling conflicts! Pencil it in on your calendars!

🚙I'd like to take this opportunity to revisit the parent pick up line in the afternoon.  We've been having some difficulty with cars doubling up in line a little too early, making it hard for families who are dismissing their students.   Moving forward, please don't start doubling up until 2:40 PM and stay in the line on the left until then. Please let grandparents, babysitters or other caregivers know this too.  I might  suggest to the families who are dismissing their students that you arrive before 2:40 so you can get easily in and out of the parking lot!  

😀Next week we'll celebrate spring and vacation with a Student Council sponsored Spirit Week!  The flyer is in the Electronic Blue Folder, but you can find the spirit days listed in the Looking Ahead dates  and photo below!  


🍃Yesterday was Trail Guides Day! Throughout the year volunteers/naturalists work with our middle school students teaching them about nature and exploring the nature trails around TPS. On Thursday, our Trail Guide Middle Schoolers lead grades k-5 through the trails, teaching them about their surroundings and the cool facts about nature they have learned! It may have been a little cold, but the sun was shining and everyone had fun.  Such an awesome opportunity for all of our Warriors.  Thank you to the volunteers, our Middle School Trail Guides and to Mrs. St. Pierre for organizing this program each and every year!   


🎂Today was JiJi the Penguin's birthday! JiJi is the penguin is the character from ST Math.  Students in grades k-5 use ST Math to stregthen their math reasoning and problem solving skills. Jiji is a beloved character that makes the challenges fun. He appreciated his visit to some classrooms today and the birthday cards and songs!

Mid Summer!

Image
I hope you are all having a wonderful summer! We are excited to have the kids back...just not yet. We still have some work to do. However, I wanted to put several things on your radars.  We have scheduled our annual  Popsicles on the Playground for   August 23rd from 4:00-6:00. I'm crossing my fingers and toes that the weather cooperates and we can actually have the event on the playground. I'm 0 for 2 so far in my tenure here! This event is hosted by the PTA and is an opportunity for all students to get reacclimated to the building and new students to get some nerves out and possibly make some new friends. This is also an opportunity to pick up new t-shirts. Use this link and order by August 14th to get them in time. I'd encourage everyone to consider joining the PTA team!   Updated School Supply lists can be found on our website here . Our goal is always to keep costs for  families down, however, if the list proves to be too much for you please reach out...

The weather just might cooperate this year! Library volunteers:  Our TPS Library volunteer crew is getting ready to open the library on the first day of school! Beginning on Day 1, children who arrive between 8:00 and 8:30 are invited to spend time in the Library checking out books, playing games, or hanging out with friends. We can't wait to see them! We are also welcoming new volunteers to our library crew! Our volunteers read to classes when they visit the library, help students check books out, and keep our library organized and beautiful. Volunteer when your child visits, or come at any other time of the day for behind-the scenes tasks. Younger siblings are welcome to join you! If you'd like to ...
