The Principal’s Piece: A Note From Mrs. Randolph

We had a great time celebrating the conclusion of our Sight Word Challenge. Our students enjoyed popcorn and a movie shown on our stadium Jumbotron! We had such a fun time! It was the perfect way to recognize our sight word celebrities! Thank you for partnering with us to increase your child’s reading skills.

Last Week in Chapel

In  Chapel this week, we continued our series, “WHO?”.  This week we learned that Jesus is the Son of God. Through the story of Nicodemus’ interaction with Jesus, the students learned that Jesus came to this world to save us. We focused on the following concepts:

  • Jesus Is God’s Son

  • Jesus Loves You 

  • Jesus Made A Way For You

Power Verse: John 3:16 

Whatchagaddaknow: Jesus Gave His Life To Save The World

House System Competition 

Check out who is leading the competition at www.tcshouses.weebly.com.

Elementary Clubs

Our students love to participate in our elementary clubs. These clubs are designed for 1st-5th grade students and meet after school dismisses.

Staying Informed and Up-to-date with

Classroom Happenings

To stay informed of what’s happening in your child’s classroom, please login into Blackbaud weekly. You will be able to see information such as weekly classroom announcements, upcoming events, weekly academic focus, grades, attendance, etc. This is the key to staying informed and replaces hardcopy newsletters. I encourage you to login each week. Information will be updated each Sunday at 5pm.

Accessing your child's class information weekly:

  • Login to your Blackbaud account and select your child's name under "Children". 

  • Find your child's homeroom class under the "Progress" tab by scrolling down to where classes are listed.

  • After selecting the homeroom class, you will see the teacher's main class page where you will locate upcoming dates, class reminders and news. 

  • Select the "Topics" tab to see specific information for each individual subject. Within each subject folder, you will see a plan for the week and upcoming projects and test information.

  • The "Topics" pages update each Sunday evening at 5pm and will remain current until the following Sunday evening.
