Remember it's time to move your clocks back "Fall Back" one hour before bed on Saturday evening, November 4 for Daylight Saving Time. The actual time is Sunday, November 5 at 2:00 a.m., but a good habit is to set the clocks back before heading off to bed. Don't forget the clocks in your car. It's also a good time to change your smoke detector batteries in your house.  

TSC supports "green" efforts and as such to help ensure students receive information about community services or events, flyers from non-profit outside organizations are posted online in a section called E-flyers. All E-Flyers can be accessed from any TSC School website: www.tscschools.com, by clicking the 'students' or 'parents' link in the upper right hand corner of the webpage. E-Flyers will be posted on the 15th and 30th of the month so be sure to check regularly for newly posted information. If your qualifying organization is interested in posting an E-Flyer, go to  www.tscschools.com E-flyers section to submit the information.

Did you know?  

...we sell a la carte snack items in the cafeteria at lunch?  You may have noticed your student running out of lunch money sooner than you expected.  If you would like, the Cafeteria Manager can flag your student's account to not allow them to purchase a la carte items.  If you would like to make adjustments to your student's lunch account, simply email our Cafeteria Manager at tjschrader@tsc.k12.in.us.

Tracking your own books and the next book to read has never been easier.

Select "Read in Browser" to read right on the Chromebook (connection to any wi-fi is necessary). Select from hundreds of great titles. (Note: some grade level restrictions apply.)

Indiana started the 21st Century Scholars in 1990 to ensure that every student can afford a college education. Income-eligible 7th and 8th graders who enroll in the program and fulfill a pledge of good citizenship are guaranteed to receive up to four years of undergraduate tuition* at any participating public college or university in Indiana.

If you attend a private or an independent institution, the state will award an amount comparable to that of a public institution. If you attend a participating proprietary (private career) school, the state will award a tuition scholarship equal to that of Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana.

As a 21st Century Scholar, you can get help finding free tutoring, a mentor and a part-time job, and once you get to college, students who are 21st Century Scholars receive support to finish their college degrees.

But first you have to apply. Students and their parents must complete and return the application by June 30 of the 8th grade year. Don't wait. Apply today:

*The scholarship amount may be reduced depending on the availability of funds and the availability of the student's family to contribute to college.
