TCS Dining Update for 1st-3rd Grades
We are excited to share that soup is returning to our dining options! Recently, soup was temporarily removed as we explored the safest way to serve it. To enhance convenience and safety, SAGE has now introduced individual soup cups with lids, allowing students to carry their soup to their table with ease. As part of this update, there will be one soup option available for 1st–3rd grade students. This week’s selection will be chicken noodle soup, a favorite among our students. The updated menu reflecting this change will be available soon. Students are thrilled to have soup back, and we appreciate your support as we continue to improve our dining experience.
Last Week in Chapel
Last Week in Chapel
It was another great week in chapel as Mrs. Duncan kicked off our new series titled "Deal With It". This series is all about dealing with some of the toughest feelings and situations we may face in life. In our first lesson, students learned that worrying about life's difficulties just doesn't work. Because God so wonderfully cares for the birds and flowers of His creation, we know He cares even more deeply for us! He knows the number of hairs on our head, and His thoughts for us outnumber the grains of sand! We can trust Him with our worry. When we give our anxieties to God, He promises to cover us with His peace!
Main Focus: "Anytime we feel anxious, we should pray!"
Power Verse: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with Thanksgiving, present your requests to God." -Philippians 4:6
Whatchagaddaknow: "I Won't Worry, I'll Put My Trust In God"
Prayer Requests
Our Lower School administration team meets every Friday morning to pray over our students and families. If you have a prayer request, we would love to pray for you specifically. We believe in the power of prayer and are committed to supporting our families through this dedicated time of intercession.
"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up." I Thessalonians 5:11

Fill Out the Form: Provide details about your request in the form below by clicking on the link. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.

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.
