Greetings TSES Families,
We had so much fun at our PTA sponsored Trunk or Treat! It was great to see our community come together and enjoy a beautiful evening together.
This morning, students and staff practiced a Duck, Cover, and Hold drill. This drill is one of the safety measures that all HCPSS schools conduct periodically throughout the year as part of our Emergency Response Plans. These drills provide good practice to review safety procedures. Duck, Cover and Hold is a procedure we use for weather related emergencies and other instances where there may be damage to the building. We encourage you to ask your child about the drill and let us know if they have any questions or concerns
This is a reminder that all HCPSS Schools & Offices are closed on Tuesday, November 5 due to Election Day.
