Be Safe. Be Responsible. Be Respectful. What Is PBIS?
PBIS (
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) is a new effort underway at TCGIS.
The main idea of PBIS is that there are three main school-wide agreements that our community follows: be safe, be responsible, and be respectful. Come learn more about this proactive approach Monday, November 21 from 6:30-8pm in Room 100 - sponsored by the Special Education Advisory Committee.
RSVP for the meeting here. Free Babysitting is available. You must RSVP by Nov. 18 if you plan to use babysitting.

A Word from our Interns
Starting last spring we began preparing for a revamped TCGIS Intern Program. Tina Haarbusch has made great strides in building relationships with universities abroad and in finding very talented young Europeans who are in teacher prep programs wanting to be primarily primary and middle school teachers. This is only one part of a major, successful shift we are in the midst of for the upcoming academic year 2017-'18.
However, the real work and the value of this Intern Program is the tireless work and the creativity young interns bring each day into the classrooms of your sons and daughters. Therefore this week you are hearing directly from two of our interns:
Lisa Rödlach and Florian Pichler.
