Fifth Grade Performance at the Veterans Day Assemblies
Fifth grade parents are reminded that due to space challenges and the guidelines given by the HCPS Fire Marshal, we will only accommodate those who attend the assembly with a Veteran. The performance will be recorded and available on the TES website for all other families to view.
Tuckahoe families are invited to join the First Team 1086 Blue Cheese Robotics for the STEMFest at The Oak Avenue Complex on November 12th from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM.
STEMFest is a free, family-friendly event featuring over 25 hands-on STEM stations tailored towards science, technology, engineering, and math. Students will have the opportunity to drive and play catch with a robot. There will also be free STEM activity kits so that students can continue their learning at home.
Parent Workshop Information
Thanks to all parents who attended our anxiety information session last month! The slides, with links to all resources we discussed, can be found here. We look forward to seeing you at our next Parent Workshop on January 22nd, focusing on Executive Functioning.
Christmas Mother Canned Food Drive
Once again TES will be collecting canned food and shelf stable foods on behalf of the Henrico Christmas Mother. Students can bring in items to donate until Monday, November 16. Thank you in advance for your support of this incredibly meaningful program.
On Saturday, Nov. 21, 500 bags of shelf-stable food will be distributed on a first-come,
first-served basis at the Henrico Community Food Bank. To support a smooth and efficient distribution process, recipients will remain in their cars in a drive-through line. Families do not need to register in advance. Please click here for more information.
