Town Center Principal Newsletter

Thank you to our PTO Hospitality Committee & 4th grade families for donating food and door prizes for our January faculty meeting. It is always a nice treat for our staff!

Thank you to the dads that have taken time at TCE on Fridays to volunteer. For clarification, any amount of time you can give would be great. If you only have time to be there at drop-off or for a specific time frame, we would still love for you to sign-up.

As a reminder, we are having "Dads Club on Campus Day" at TCE. This is currently scheduled for Fridays, and they are able to sign-up to spend time at TCE supporting the campus and classrooms in different ways. This may include:

• Welcoming students to school during morning arrival
• Helping in classrooms, the office, or PE as requested by teachers
• Joining staff for lunchroom duty
• Re-shelving books in the library
• Car line dismissal and high fives to end the day

**In order for the campus to coordinate scheduling, please sign-up at least a week in advance.

If you would like to sign up to receive Dads Club Communications, you can email your contact information to Nick Walther at tceptodadsclub@gmail.com.

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.

We ask that all families complete a volunteer background check. They do not carry over from year to year. Since the background checks take time to process, we ask that everyone complete one in case any type of volunteering opportunity (class field trip, Dads Club, Room parent, class volunteer, field day, etc.) arises during the year that you are interested in. Please click on the link below to complete.
