Parent and Student Handbook
Please take a moment to review the TES Parent and Student Handbook. This document should serve as your guide to navigating the HCPS and TES procedures and policies used to manage an effective learning environment for everyone. You will receive a copy of the handbook signature page through the e-collect online system.
Class Placement Information
Students do NOT receive class placement letters in the mail. Families should have access to your child’s class placement on Monday, August 11 after 9:30 AM in the PowerSchool Parent Portal. Some online resources may display homeroom teacher names prior to this date. Class placements are not final until August 11 as class adjustments will be made up until that date. It is not recommended that you discuss class placement with your child until this date.
Kindergarten Orientation
Kindergarten Orientation will be held on Thursday, August 14 at 9 AM. This orientation is designed to allow students the opportunity to get comfortable with their new teacher and classroom while parents are given a chance to hear about the details of a typical school day. Remember to bring your child’s school supplies to this event. After orientation, the PTA has planned a playdate from 10 -11 AM on the TES playground so that Kindergarten parents and children can connect. The Kona Ice truck will be on hand with cool treats, and a HCPS bus will also be available for students to board. We look forward to seeing all of our Kindergarteners that morning! The PTA also welcomes you to TES. Please click here for more information about planned events for Kindergarten families.
New Student Pizza Party
We will be welcoming many new families to Tuckahoe this fall. All families with children in grades 1-5 who are new to Tuckahoe this year are invited to attend the New Student Pizza Party on Wednesday, August 13 at 6:00 PM in the Tuckahoe cafeteria. This is a wonderful opportunity to participate in a tour of the building, meet members of the TES administrative team, and mingle with other new families. If you have not already done so, please RSVP to WelcomeToTES@gmail.com by August 6th. Include your name and the number of people from your family attending so we can have plenty of pizza! Please click here to read a welcome message from the PTA.
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Sonia Ford, Principal
