TCE 4th graders should come to school each day with their iPad and charger. Please ensure your child charges his/her iPad each evening. Your child should also check periodically to ensure his/her iPad's software is up to date (settings --> general --> software update).
Learners will continue filling in a "Charge Bank" to keep track of their daily iPad battery charge. We hope this helps learners to become responsible for making sure their iPad is fully charged and in their backpacks each morning. Below, is the daily tracker they will fill out each morning when they arrive to school.
Please remember school issued iPads are for school use only. We do random iPad checks every few weeks. We reminded the students daily that school issued iPads are not for personal photography, books, or communicating with friends or parents via emails or chats, or watching videos on you tube that were not assigned by their teacher. It would help us out if you could reinforce this home.
Color Run
Town Center Color Run - October 20th 5:30-7:00 PM - A Note From PTO
Our Color Run is just a couple of weeks away! Our Color Run is our biggest fundraiser of the year. Funds raised will pay for the classroom grants we fund in November, field trip buses, Field Day, and Teacher Appreciation Week. Here are the details:
The fundraiser runs through October 20th. Every TCE student will receive a free Color Run shirt and be able to participate in the run on October 20th at no cost. Any parents and/or non-TCE kids that would like to participate can register to run for $20 by clicking here.
Each class has created a goal/rewards chart for donations that come in under their name/class. The more the class raises, the more rewards the class enjoys together! You can donate online at www.towncenterpto.org or send cash or check (payable to TCE PTO) in an envelope with your child's grade and teacher. Registering family members counts towards the class donation. Make sure to send out the donation link to grandparents and anyone that would like to donate.
The classes will earn their rewards together, as a team, but the top two earners in each grade will be recognized and get to start their grade's run first.
