New Lunch Ordering Process

lunch1.gif

We are excited to announce that you will be able to order you child's lunches online through ParentsWeb this year!  In line with our goal to "GO GREEN" we will no longer be sending home weekly order forms with the students, instead you will be able to view the lunch calendar and order directly through ParentsWeb. The menu is now available for the entire month of September. Orders must be placed by midnight prior to the day you wish to receive lunch (example: If your child would like Chick-Fil-A on Tuesday you must place your order by midnight on Monday). We will continue to collect payment on a daily basis for lunches ordered. Payment should be sent with each child to their homeroom teacher clearly marked for that day's lunch.

Below are the steps to placing your lunch order: • Log in to ParentsWeb • Under the Student Information tab, click Lunch • Scroll to the bottom of the screen Click "Create Web Order", the menu list will appear • Enter the quantity of lunch items you wish to order for each child • Once you have entered the total items for your family click "Order Items " • A total cost for all items ordered will appear • You're Done! It's that's easy   =)

Jump Rope For Heart

jump-rope.jpg

This month across the country, businesses and schools are raising money for the American Heart Association. You can count TSCA as one of those organizations. Heart disease continues to be the nation's No. 1 killer. During the week of February 19 - 22 in all of our elementary and middle school gym classes, emphasis is going to be placed on jumping rope. We will ask each of our elementary and middle school students to collect sponsors to donate in our effort to raise $500. Mr. Wilson's vision for TSCA is to be a school that cares for others; this is one way for us to work together to help those who are battling heart disease in our community. The American Heart Association will be giving our students thank you gifts based on the amount of donations received. Let's show our support for this great cause!! Note: Please return your Parent Permission form by Friday, February 15th and your sponsor envelopes with donations by March 1st.

Our students in K3 - 3rd grade will enjoy this presentation on February 21st at 9:45. Parents who would like to come watch the show with their child, may purchase a ticket for $5.00.
