Have you heard the W word? Do you say the W word? Unfortunately, that W word is one that we are hearing all of the time…In fact, it seems as though the W word is one that we hear more of now than ever before That W word is WORRY... it gets us and is something we all struggle with... we worry about our kids, our health, our work, our life, our friends, our co-workers...
Worry is one of Satan’s greatest tools to keep us from living a life of joy and peace through Christ Jesus. We can get so caught up in worrying about tomorrow and all the what-ifs that we fail to see how God is working in our lives and leading us. God commands us to not worry and to trust in Him.
When worry comes knocking at our door... go first to God's word since it is our absolute truth!
Off Campus = WORRY
Sometimes you don’t know how good you have it until it is gone and boy oh boy is this the case now that our students are unable to walk over to Heirloom when they are dropped off early. This means that our students that are arriving well before the start of their scheduled classes are coming in the building, meeting up with their friends and then heading off campus. We are always working for what is in the best interest of our population and have decided that this is not the best arrangement. Effective Monday November 7, 9th and 10th grade students that are dropped off and enter the building during the early arrival time will not be permitted to leave the building to go off campus.
We are excited to partner with SAGE to provide grab and go items that will include but are not limited to sausage biscuits, chicken biscuits, various muffins, coffee, pastries and other breakfast items to purchase in the mornings, etc. The prices are comparable with those at off campus vendors. I am referring to this as the Kimmy J Mart :) See Menu with pricing here:
Our student lounge and MPR are utilized for those students that need to arrive before the start of their first class. Additionally we will be opening up the outdoor space under the shades for students to enjoy breakfast items with their friends. We will even have outdoor heaters to make the space more comfortable during the colder days of the season.
Attendance review
The attendance summary in Blackbaud can definitely take you by surprise and make you think that your student has been absent EXCESSIVELY! Don’t flip out…the number reflects the total number of absences that have been accrued for each period for each day. The best way to review attendance is to select the view history option and then choose view/print pdf so that you can accurately review the absences for your student in each class.
As per the TCS Handbook, students who are absent more than ten (10) days in a class per semester may not receive credit for that course. Students that are at risk and are in need of attendance recovery options will receive a notification directly from the High School Attendance Team.
