Yay! The First Day!

Our first day of school is today, Tuesday, September 7. It’s a short day for all of our students. Students will be leaving before lunch. There are no afterschool activities on Tuesday, nor is there school bus service.

1st-8th graders: First grade through eighth grade students will attend from 8:20 a.m. to noon, with regular drop-off and pick-up in the yard.

Preschoolers and kindergartners: We are asking our preschoolers and kindergartners (both new and returning) to come in two groups to make it a bit more intimate and less overwhelming for the children. Children whose last name starts with A-K will attend from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m.; students whose child’s last name starts with L-Z will attend from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Drop-off and pick-up will be in the “yard” on 25th Street. The teachers will greet you and your child there, and we’ll walk up to the classrooms together. Parents are not expected to stay in the classrooms.

Wednesday, September 8, will be a regular full day for all TPS students. There will be a New Parents Breakfast right after drop-off in the Multipurpose Room. It’s a great way to meet other new families and have a chance to talk with some experienced TPS parents and staff. ASEP and MSAS begin on Wednesday, as does bus service.

Thank you – we can't wait to see you and the children!
