Get Ready for Our School-Wide

Christmas Donation Drive!

Starting Monday, we are kicking off our annual Christmas donation drive with a goal of 100% student participation!

The grade with the most donations will earn dress-down privileges for the week of final exams in December! Donations will be collected in all homeroom classes Monday, November 17 – Friday, December 5.

Please see the document below for the scheduled first-semester exam dates. Attendance at all semester exams is required, so we ask that you keep these dates in mind when making Christmas vacation plans.

Reminder: All Financial Accounts must be current before semester exams. The cut off date is November 30, 2025. Please see page 33 of the Parent Student Handbook.

Saturday Detention Reminder

Detention will take place on Saturday, November 15th, from 7:00 AM to 8:30 AM. Please ensure that your student attends if this applies to them.

Uniform Policy Reminder

A reminder that as the weather gets colder, only approved TC outerwear is allowed during the school day. The uniform policy is outlined on pages 19 & 20 in the student handbook. No hooded sweatshirts are ever allowed during the school day. Please plan ahead to be in compliance with the uniform policy when the weather gets colder so as to avoid disciplinary consequences for violations.
