1. Kinderclub is available on a fee basis for after school care. For a one-time registration fee of $25 and a $10 drop-in fee, they will take care of your children from 3:30 - 6:00 p.m. (2:45 p.m. on Wednesdays). Please contact Kinderclub directly to make arrangements at 612-227-4412. Please note there is a fifteen minute grace period after the end of school before the fee goes into effect. The $10 fee is payable regardless of whether you pick your child up at 3:31p.m. or 6:00 p.m.

2.If children are not registered with Kinderclub or if Kinderclub has reached capacity, a TCGIS staff member will supervise your child.  After using this service three times, there will be a $50 fee payable to the school at the time of pick-up. 

TCGIS strongly encourages parents who want some flexibility and peace of mind to register with Kinderclub and to call them directly at 612-227-4412 when running late.  

Shop the NEW Book Clubs website for your Scholastic Book Club orders! Choose from a much wider selection of books than in the printed flyer. Plus, you can send your orders directly to English teacher Michelle Wallace online and use your credit card to pay.  

Best of all, we earn a FREE book for the English classroom library every time a parent places an order online (excluding eBooks). It's so simple! Here's how it works:

• SIGN UP by clicking here. On the parent page, click the "Register" button in the "First Time Here?" section. Register for your own user name and password. When prompted, enter the one-time Class Activation Code: GXLFQ. This unique code ensures that your order is sent to Frau Wallace.

• SELECT the books you'd like to order. Choose from thousands of titles -- many more than in our monthly flyers.

• SEND your order online by the due date, October 24th, and your child's books will be delivered directly to the school where we will then send them home.

Enjoy some of the many seasonal offerings in the October and November fliers! Scholastic books make great gifts, as well!

It is the TCGIS policy to forbid forms of electronics on school premises during school hours, except for emergency communication before and/or after school. Forms of electronics include all smart phones, MP3 players and other hand-held video or gaming devices. This policy is an effort to ensure equality among students as well as to prevent theft, damage and/or loss. The consequence for violation of the above policy is that the student will be asked to leave the device in the office for the remainder of the day. Students will be escorted to the office to leave their device in a pre-established site. The child may pick up the device at the end of the school day, and the parent will be informed that the device was confiscated. It is permitted to store an electronic device in the off-position in a backpack or locker strictly for after-school use. Further exceptions include the use of such devices for the purposes of special education as well as teacher pre-approved academic use.

Tours for pre-School teachers: On Monday, October 17th and Friday, October 28th, TCGIS will be hosting tours and information sessions targeted at pre-school teachers. These teachers are often influential figures in helping parents consider and prioritize Kindergarten options. Again, a personal connection and a personal testimonial is likely to be what catches a pre-school teacher's attention. Please print the attached flyer, or ask for a hard copy in the office to hand to a pre-school teacher in your neighborhood or faith community who might be interested in learning more about our program. Please pass on contact information to Annika at [email protected] for people you contact.

Tours and information sessions for prospective families: We have tours every Thursday and an Information Session scheduled for Sunday, October 30th at 2PM. Please invite parents of 4-year-olds you know to register on our website. In addition, we suggest you invite prospective parents to Kaffeeklatsch on October 14th and 28th. Children will have the opportunity to visit Kindergarten and parents can gain perspectives and testimonials from current parents.

Parent volunteers: We'd like to build a core of current parents willing to follow up on school visits and  information sessions with cards and calls. If you like to talk about our school and would prefer volunteer work that you can do in English on your own schedule and from your own home, give your name to Annika at [email protected]. You could play a crucial role in our outreach effort.
