WE'RE CALLING A GOOD OLD FASHIONED SNOW DAY FOR THURSDAY, JANUARY 28!
You read that correctly... since this is the very first real snow of the season, it just feels right to give all of our TPS families and staff the chance to get outside, make snow balls, and enjoy the quiet beauty of it all. This means that there will be NO in-person and NO virtual learning tomorrow. Just snow relaxation and fun.
Remember that Friday is still an all-virtual day, and we do expect kiddos to be online, engaging with their learning. But tomorrow is all about fun, with nothing to make up.
Wishing you a deep and restful sleep, and hopefully some joy and silliness tomorrow!
Our lottery for next academic year is open just a bit more than a month longer - it will close promptly at 5p on March 1. We are so happy to be hearing from many community members interested in our heart-mind-voice educational excellence. We don't want anyone to miss the opportunity to explore this for their children, so please help us spread the word!

Hello TPS Families! This week's Update has just landed in your in-boxes. It's short and sweet, but filled with important information for every family. Please take a look. Wishing you a peaceful and SAFE Sunday!
There is the possibility of snow, ice and poor road conditions overnight tonight and into Tuesday (January 19). For those who will be attending F2F tomorrow, we want to remind you that TPS follows the determinations of MCCSC regarding school delays and cancellations. If MCCSC delays the start of school tomorrow, we will do the same. This means a start time of 10:15a instead of 8:15a, if there is a delay.
If we have a delay day tomorrow (or any day in the future), you'll be notified via a number of channels - you'll receive an email and text, and you'll be able to find the information both on our website and on our Facebook page.
We hope that a delay tomorrow isn't necessary, but we want everyone to be prepared just in case. Wishing you a safe and peaceful day of reflection in honor of the legacy of Dr. King.
We are honored to spend the day together as a school community, reflecting on the teachings and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Tonight and tomorrow our team will continue to make decisions about the most important work that we can do for and with our students, your children. In the words of an educational leader we deeply admire, Kylene Beers, “Tomorrow is not simply another day at school.” We will remain committed to nurturing our students’ minds, helping their hearts heal when there is so much conflict and confusion in their world, and to continuing to support them in knowing ways they can use their own hearts, minds and voices to express what they believe. We are with you in the darkest of nights and in the light of days to come.
Welcome to the first day of the spring semester, TPS families! We are so excited to connect virtually with all your kiddos today and the rest of this week. Wishing you a beautiful transition back to school!
