Red Ribbon Week

Red Ribbon Week is October 21-25, 2024.  As a campus, TCE will focus on making healthy choices during this week.  Life is A Movie, Film Drug Free.™" was selected as this year's Red Ribbon Week theme by National Family Partnership because it inspires individuals to play their part in fostering safe, healthy, and drug-free communities. From healthcare professionals to educators, parents, and beyond, the theme underscores the collective impact achievable through dedication and commitment.




Background Checks

We ask that all families complete a volunteer background check at the start of the year. They do not carry over from year to year. Since the background checks take time to process, we ask that everyone complete one in case any type of volunteering opportunity (class field trip, Dad's Club, Room parent, class volunteer, field day, etc.) arises during the year that you are interested in. Please click on the link below to complete it.
