Final Quotes 

Don't forget about the challenge we will have this year to learn something new!  We will talk more about it at our first faculty meeting, so be brainstorming on what you might want to focus on this year! 

 

Ready to Kick Off the New School Year!

I can't believe I am going into my 5th year as principal and get to continue having the opportunity to work alongside all of you again! You are by far the most dedicated, caring, innovative and creative educators and staff an administrator could ask for!  Our kiddos and families are so lucky to have all of you guiding them and supporting them through this year of learning at TCE!  

As we go through this year, my hope is that you start day one building those strong and meaningful relationships with your kids.  As our very own Lori Vincenzo said so eloquently in her speech. . .it is truly about the relationships you have with the individuals you come in contact with each day.  Also, my hope is that we continue building and growing our relationships among our staff.  Our schools is truly an exceptional place to be and each of you play a giant role in making our school and TCE family so special!    

As we start the first week, you will notice (except for the 1st day) that we don't have too many events planned.  Hopefully, this will help you to get your routines and structures established for your kids from the start of the year!
