Principal's Message from Mr. Grilo
Greetings Tinc Road Families!
Wishing everyone a very happy extended Veterans Day/Teacher Convention Weekend!
As the weather turns colder, please make sure you child(ren) are dressed appropriately for outdoor recess. If your children are missing any clothing items, please encourage them to check the Lost and Found rack in the Cafeteria. Thank you to all the parents who were able to "rescue" some lost items left behind by our students. We still have a huge collection of "lost" sweatshirts, mittens, and hats looking for their home. Those items will continue to be in our cafeteria until Winter Break and then they will be donated.
Please have your children use our Bus transportation or use the Car line for pick-up and dismissal, we have just enough parking spots for our teachers and staff and if our parents park in those spots, our teachers have limited or no spots to park in and the congested parking lot is also causing a safety issue for our children walking into school in the morinng. Thank you for your consideration.
Have a wonderful long weekend!
Mr. Grilo

MOHS Cheer Clinic and Parents' Night out!
TRS ART Studio
Student artists have been busy exploring and experimenting with a variety of drawing media and tools. The are showing responsibility by demonstrating how to set up and clean up their workspace. They will create their first WOW artwork (wonderful original work of art) and were asked the question “Where do artists get ideas?” Artists identified the following strategies for generating ideas: observation, imagination, emotions, memories and mark-making. If you are interested in learning more about what else is happening in our T.A.B. classroom click here or follow us on X (Twitter) @TincRoadArtStudio.
Once these activities are complete the Drawing Center will be officially open! YAY! Next we will be learning about collage techniques, as well as what supplies and tools we can find in the Collage Center. Each artist’s WOW artwork is planned and created based on your child’s interests and ideas, the artwork they create becomes more meaningful to them and often tells a story.
Please be sure to ask your artist about their artwork and what they are learning in art. Each one is completed with an artist statement and will be saved to use for the art show on May 9th so mark your calendars! We are always looking for volunteers to help out in the Art Studio. If interested, please check out our signup HERE.
Artfully,
