January 2022 Newsletter
January 7, 2022
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a restful break and is back into the groove of school and work. After a busy week at TCA, we are ready to tackle 2022 and all that it has to offer. As students come back to school, they will continue to work with Mrs. Jackson on the Voyage Program. The next anchor and action point is compassion. Students will work on caring about how others feel, why it’s important to understand other people’s feelings and show them compassion, and how compassion can bring about positive changes in the lives of others. Please ask them about this.
If you have not already done so, please take a minute to fill out the mask survey that was sent out earlier this week. As a reminder, masks are optional in the building, but must be worn when people are within 3 feet of each other and on the school bus.
I appreciate everyone’s understanding as we made the call to delay school for 2 hours this morning (1/7). For the future, it is TCA’s policy to follow the lead of Montgomery County Public Schools and their inclement weather policy. Communication will be sent out via email, Class Dojo, and our social media (FB and IG).
Looking ahead, we have a few important dates to be mindful of:
January 14th and 17th- No School for students
January 21st- Report Cards will be sent home
January 31st-February 4th-NWEA MAP Testing Week (K-4)
February 18th and 21st- No School for students
February 28th- March 4th-Scholastic Book Fair at TCA (PTO Sponsored)
As we begin next week, I want to stress the importance of an on time arrival to school and the appropriate pick up time for all students. Instruction for all students begins at 8:00 am and continues until 3:00 pm each day. Please be mindful of dropping off late and picking up early as students are missing important information, learning time, and social time with their classmates and teachers.
I hope everyone has a safe and healthy weekend.
Respectfully,
Teresa Harrison
