Announcements

Terrific Texans
Throughout the week our learners at TCE work 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 Reminders
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 look back on memories from the year, and we even have a yearbook signing party in May. If you want to purchase a yearbook, please see the graphic below for the different 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), purchase it using the website link below.


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