Principal's Message
Greetings Tinc Road School Families,
Welcome Back! What an unbelievable Spring Break! We were a part of a week that had rain, snow, sun, earthquakes and ended with a solar eclipse!
Our students and staff did a great job learning and discussing the eclipse in school and then carefully viewing it at dismissal.
We are gearing up for an action packed ending to the school year! Please read through this edition of the Tinc Tribune carefully to be aware of many of the exciting events we have to end the school year! We'll see you at the PTO sponsored Movie Night next Friday!
Have a great Weekend!
Mr. Grilo
