TCS Behavior Documentation & Referral Form
Please use the link below to access the new TCS Behavior Form. This is to be used once you have followed all of the steps in the "gas gauge" or if you have an office referral for an offense that warrants an immediate office referral (Class II & up).
Overnight Cleaning Crew - Update
Last year we hired an overnight cleaning crew to clean all hallways, the clinics, and student bathrooms. We have rebid this job to include additional cleaning responsibilities. Beginning Monday, October 3rd, the nighttime cleaning crew will also be cleaning our classrooms and teacher bathrooms (in addition to the areas already mentioned). The most important thing for teachers to remember: Please make sure you leave your classroom UNLOCKED when you leave each day. Also, let's have students put chairs on the desks at the end of each day.
This is going to provide our PES custodians with an opportunity to focus on cleaning tasks we have not been able to get to in the past due to the demands of keeping our building clean.
5-Deep Roster Activity
Our TCS 5-Deep Roster Activity is an important part of ensuring the social and emotional well-being our our students. We have preloaded current teachers to save you time. We will be sending out the updated spreadsheet on Monday for us to fill in the remaining gaps. Please look for further instructions in the email containing this link.
Lost and Found
Our Lost and Found will be in the lobby area of our building (by the bathrooms). Please do not place items in the back of the school. Please inform students when the are searching for an item.
This will allow parents to come in and search lost and found without having to enter the main buildings. They will just need to check in with the front office.
PowerSchool Grades - Important (Grades 3-5)
Please make sure grades are entering in PowerSchool each week. We are encouraging our parents to use the PS app to check grades so it is imperative that these be up-to-date.
Please refer to your Teacher Handbook for other guidelines regarding grades.
Wednesday Collaboration
We will meet in Collaboration Room on your side of the building. Jenni Peters will work with literacy teachers on teaching handwriting. Jessica Bryant will work with math teachers on math intervention curriculum (Math in Practice).
Thursday - Early Release Time
We will have another grade level collaboration on Thursday. Please meet in your grade level/content area leader's classroom.
