Greetings Tinc Road Families!
It's February! I can't wait to see our families and friends at tonight's 2nd Annual Tinc Road School Steam Night Event. We will have robots, LEGOS, slime and the pinewood derby. It's going to be fantastic!
Just a few reminders, We will be going outside during recess whenever possible, please remember to dress your children appropriately for the weather so that they are prepared for the elements. Please remember to not leave your vehicle idling in the drop off lanes in the front of school during Pick-up and Drop-off times. Finally, please remember to make changes to your child's dismissal in Pick Up Patrol. If your child is staying after for MOSA, Aspire, Chess, etc. please make sure you indicate this. Thank you for your cooperation.
Have a Great Weekend!
