Principal's Message from Mr. Grilo
Greetings Tinc Road Families!
Happy December! I hope all of our Tinc Road School families had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.
Congratulations to our 2023-2024 Tinc Road School Teacher of the Year Mrs. Michele Schoch and Tinc Road School Educational Support Professional of the Year Mrs. Christina Capone! We are honored to have you represent our school. Congratulations to the following staff members who were also nominated this year - Miss Bencivenga, Mrs. Radecky, Mrs. Hund, Miss Gentle, Mrs. Darnesto, Mrs. Offerding, Mrs. Healing, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Duque-Dejesus, Mrs. Szast.
We are so excited for our Tinc Road School Holiday Shop taking place next week. Our studnets will shop during their regular Library time. Thank you in advance to our many volunteers for helping make this festive event such a success.
Good luck to our band and chorus students on their upcoming concerts!
Reminders - 1. With the new year we have increased ours staff to over 100 faculty and staff at Tinc Road School. These staff need the parking spaces to be able to safely park and get to school on time. Please use the drop off lanes for student drop off or our wonderful Bus service to limit traffic and allow for students and staff to safely arrive to school and have a parking spot each day.
2. As the weather turns colder, please make sure you child(ren) are dressed appropriately for outdoor recess. If they are missing any clothing items, please encourage them to check the Lost and Found in the lobby. Any items not claimed by 12/20 will be donated.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mr. Grilo
