Announcements

Terrific Texans

Throughout the week our learners at TCE are working hard at going above and beyond! When any teacher catches them standing out in a positive way they are awarded a Terrific Texan. At the end of the week, there is a school-wide drawing and 3 winners are chosen from each grade level.

Congratulations to our Terrific Texans this week:



iPad Charging Reminder
We use our iPads at some point each day as an important learning tool in the classroom. Please help us in making sure that your child’s iPad is charged each night to 100%! We understand that life happens, if your child does not charge their iPad, please send their charger with them to school. We do not have additional chargers in the classroom.

Yearbooks for Sale
Our yearbook sale is now open! Each year we have a Town Center Yearbook that highlights photos from every class, school events, and staff. It is a great item to have to look back on memories from the year, and we even have a yearbook signing party in May. If you are interested in purchasing a yearbook, please see the graphic below for the different purchasing options. As a reminder, the TCE Yearbook cost WAS NOT included in the TCE Trail Pass. If you would like a yearbook for your child(ren), you will need to purchase using the website link below.

Our yearbook committee would also love your help in submitting photos for the yearbook. As you attend campus events, if you have any photos you would like to share, see below for information on uploading them to our committee.

Digital Citizenship 
Each month second grade partners with our campus Digital Learning Coach to have a lesson focused on digital citizenship. Below (and linked here) you will find a parent resource from our October lesson.
