Dear Montessori Timberwolves Families and Friends,
In this edition, you will find a Community Service Learning Project to help TCAPS families during the upcoming holiday season. If your family wants to contribute, please follow this Sign-Up Genius Link (you may also click on the QR code). This will allow your family to provide items for needy families during this season of giving. Please bring your donated items to school before Tuesday, December 13, 2024. Items should be unwrapped and can be dropped off in our main office. Our student leadership team will promote this event and help with the wrapping.
We also hope you’ll join our Student Leadership Team next week to kick off the 12 Days Before Holiday Break—Spirit Days (see the photo below). We are sure to make this a great three weeks before Holiday Break—filled with lots of learning, caring, and holiday spirit!
I sincerely hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving break. I am grateful for our community and the work we do every day with the amazing students, staff, and parents of TCAPS Montessori. We will welcome students back on Monday, December 2, 2024.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Tracy
- Carline Courtesy Reminders
DO be patient and courteous! - DO NOT pass cars in the line. You could lose your privilege to use Carline. DO NOT buckle your child in line - if your child cannot buckle themself, you should use the walk-up system. We need to keep the line moving.
DO plan ahead—winter weather is coming quickly and will slow down systems. DO NOT be crabby with our staff due to your time constraints. We are working hard for safety and efficiency.
- Cold Weather Clothing: Temperatures can vary throughout the day and from day to day. All students go outside for recess, with the only exceptions being if it is below 0 degrees Fahrenheit or heavy, consistent, rain/storms. With Michigan weather being unpredictable this time of year, coats, rain gear, hats, mittens/gloves, and shoes (not sandals) are all a must. Our office can help if you need any outdoor gear items. Thank you!
