Administrative Information

Lice is Back in Full Force!

We are sorry to say that lice seems to be moving through the school. To help us combat this nuisance, please be vigilant in checking through your child/ren's hair.

If a child is found to have lice, he or she is not required to go home immediately. However, parents will be notified as well as the families of the child's classroom. The child must be treated before returning to school.

For helpful information on how to treat lice, please see this link!

Thank you for your attention to this important health matter.

Reminder from the Front Office

Please remember to email both your child's teacher AND the front office (info@tcgis.org) when you have a sick child, will be late, need to leave early, have any pick-up changes, etc. This helps us keep track of where students are throughout the day. Thank you!

Call for After School Activities Instructors!

If you would like to offer a class for our second session of after school activities, please fill out the attached form and hand it in to the main office by Friday, December 11. Session two of After School Activities will be starting the week of January 11. If you have any questions about teaching a class, please email Lauren Kalish at lkalish@tcgis.org.

Lost and Found to be Donated - Check for Items!

It's getting to that time of year where our lost and found grows and grows. We do our best to return items to the rightful owner, but we need your help! Please, please, please write names on every item of clothing your child brings to school.

*Any items left after January 15 will be donated. Please come in before then to claim your items.
