Can Drive Conclusion
Hello Families  - Thank you for all the can and money donations. We really appreciate it. The 6th grade Can Drive is officially closing for the rest of this year. We have ideas for our next business, and once we start our new one, we hope you will support us! 
Thank you,
TCH 6th Graders 

I’m grateful for…
“The NIDO class!  It runs like a well oiled machine with Britny steering the ship. Working with you all is such a pleasure!”

TCH Inclement Weather Policy:
TCH Administration determines school delays and closings with the assistance of TCH outdoor services provider, Chris Danbrook. Parents will receive an email by 7:00 a.m. (or earlier if possible) notifying them of the delay or closure. The information will also be posted on the school’s website 7:00 a.m. Please note that TCH will not automatically follow the closure decisions of TCAPS and NMC.

Sign up for text alerts:  In addition to an email alerting you about school closings and delays, we notify parents by text message via Remind. Simply download the Remind app to your mobile device and set up an account. Then, Text @hg6c3f2 to the number 81010. You will receive a welcome text from Remind. The class is titled TCH Parent Community. 

Parent Business Directory
