Important Reminders & Updates
Family Pictures
As a reminder, we would like for each fourth grader to share a picture of his/her family. You may send in a printed picture or you may email a copy of a picture to your child's teacher.
Google Calendar
You may have noticed that we have a Google Calendar embedded at the top of this blog. We will keep this calendar updated with important dates throughout the year, so please be sure to check it whenever you visit our blog.
Upcoming Events
Curriculum Night
Town Center Curriculum Night will be this Thursday, August 31st from 6:30-7:30 in the TCE Library. During Curriculum Night, we will share a short presentation that will cover important curriculum details and procedures for the year. We would love it if you could be there! We will also share our presentations on this blog next week, so if you are unable to make it to Curriculum Night, we will still be able to share the information with you.

What's Happening at TCE
Safety Reminders
Our principal, Dr. Applegate, sent an email with some important safety reminders for TCE, which we are including here as well.
As we start each school year, I ask that you please review the safety items below. Safety is a high priority for our campus and we appreciate you all doing your part to help ensure our whole school community is looking out for one another each day.
- Please make sure that you always are using the crosswalks in the front and back loops when walking your child across our driveways into school. There is a teacher stationed at the crosswalks with a stop sign from 7:20am-7:35am and 3:05p-3:15p.
- Also, please avoid parking anywhere that might block another vehicle in (such as along a curb in the front parking lot) and only use the front and back loops for dropping off. (single lane drop off only, not double lane)
- If you are dropping your child off in the parking lot, you must park your car in a space and walk them to the crosswalk. Then we will help to cross them. If you are late and our crossing guards are no longer there, you must park, get out of your car and walk your child across.
- Please do not stop your vehicle in the traffic loops to get out of your car as this can become a danger to other cars as well as create a block in our flow of traffic. Our front loop is designated for Kinder-2nd grade and our back, cafeteria loop is for 3rd-5th grade pick up and drop off.
School Supplies & Grade Level T-Shirts
- If you would like to order a grade level t-shirt for your son or daughter, you may order them online at https://towncenterpto.membershiptoolkit.com/. You will need to register for PTO before you will be able to order a shirt.
- If you still need to order school supplies, you may also order from the same link (above).
- If your son or daughter already has supplies, but still needs an agenda, earbuds, or a recorder, they may buy those from the front office.
We really appreciate you taking a few minutes to read our blog post. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to your son or daughter's homeroom teacher. Our emails are below:
