The College School

Hello TCS families!

A few reminders and updates for this week’s newsletter.

Teacher Appreciation Week: Next week we will celebrate our teachers! Please reach out to them to let them all know how amazing they are!

Meet and Greet with our incoming Director: Mrs. Andrea Glowatz will be joining our STEAM night on May 11 from 5pm-7pm. Please stop by and say hello!

TCS Annual Field Day: Our field day will be held on May 25. More details to come.

Field trip to the pool: We will be heading to the UD pool on May 30 (rain date June 2). There is aREQUIRED waiver to participate. Please make sure the waiver is completed by May 28 if your child(ren) is(are) participating.

Testing timeline update: Weeks of May 1st and May 8th – MAP testing will be scheduled by individual classroom teachers.  Students will take Reading, Language Usage, and Mathematics assessments. May 15th – 19th and May 22 – 23 – TerraNova tests will be administered each morning.  If a student misses a day of TerraNova testing, makeup sessions will be scheduled in the afternoon or later in the week.

Closing Ceremonies: Just a reminder to mark your calendars for our closing ceremonies on June 8. We are hosting the closing ceremonies at a new location this year – the STAR campus Audion. A detailed invitation (including dress code, start time, parking map, etc.) will be sent soon.

Spirit Gear: If you ordered TCS gear, the order is supposed to arrive on May 17 and we’ll get everything sorted as soon as it comes in. I have reached out (separate email) to each family that placed an order to let me know if you would like us to give the item(s) to your child, or if you would like to collect separately. Please let me know. If you missed out on this order, we will try to reopen at a later date if there is interest. We have to meet minimums for the vendor to put the order into production. Please send me feedback on the store experience – did you like what was offered? Pricing – too high – just about right? How can we improve for the next time?

University of Delaware graduation ceremonies: Just a heads up. The University of Delaware will honor the graduates of the Class of 2023 starting May 25 – May 27. If you’re planning to be in the area, please note that traffic in Newark will be very heavy for those days. Most of the traffic will be centered at south campus for the ceremonies, but Main Street will also be crowded.

Have a great weekend,
Rachel
