Greetings, TSES Families!
As we head into the week of Thanksgiving, I'd like to take a moment to express my gratitude for your support. It was amazing to see so many families last week during American Education Week. Our students loved seeing you during the school day at lunch and in their math classes. Our math parent workshops were well attended, and we are thankful for your engagement.
Please note that Monday, 11/20, and Tuesday, 11/21, are half days with dismissal at 12:15. There will be no BRIDGES or ELA tutoring on either day. Schools are closed for students on Wednesday, 11/22.
Our teachers are looking forward to celebrating your student's progress during conferences on Monday, 11/20 (in person) and Tuesday, 11/21 (virtually). Please call our front office at 410-313-6915 if you have problems logging in to a conference on Tuesday, 11/21.
I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful and Thanksgiving. We will see our students back at school on Monday, November 27.
