Counselor's News 

This has been a great start to the school year.   We are so proud of our Tomahawk students and their kindness to others.  We are learning about kindness and friendship through counselor classroom visits.   Students are also learning about famous people who have achieved great things. Virtual students are always welcome to check out the book reads from their teacher or on my TSC website.  Starting soon we will be learning about personal safety.   And Red Ribbon week is coming up!  See below for more details!  Ms. Jervis

We will be having Fall/yearbook picture day at BGE/BGI on November 12th.

Order forms will be sent home later this month.

Virtual students will have an opportunity to come to BGE to have their Fall pictures and yearbook picture taken from

12:00pm to 1:00 pm on that day. 

All students who want to have their picture taken would report to BGE.

Students will be greeted at the door and escorted to the gym while parents wait outside. 

We will email a copy of the picture order form for parents to print and bring in that day if they would like to purchase pictures. Paper copies will also be available that day. 

No purchase is necessary if parents only want pictures taken for the yearbook. 

We are holding our Parent-Teacher Conferences virtually this first semester. Our target time period is October 12-29. Your child's teacher will be in contact with you to set up a time to conference in a Google Meet or by phone. Our goal remains 100% attendance at Parent-Teacher Conferences. Thank you for helping to make this happen.

 The Tippecanoe School Corporation is excited to announce the launch of its new mobile app, TSC2Go. Available in both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, TSC2Go provides a convenient option for patrons to stay informed of activities happening throughout the TSC. 

 TSC2Go offers mobile-friendly access to both school and corporation news posts, calendars, staff directory and shortcuts to popular links. 

All TSC alerts and delays will now go through TSC2Go. The TSC will no longer be sending text message alerts. Schools and the corporation will immediately begin using the app’s push notifications to communicate important information to patrons.

After enabling push notifications in the app, users will be prompted to enable notifications for individual schools. Please note that all communication about school delays and closings comes from the corporation, not individual schools. Please be sure to select the “TSC Alerts, Delays and Closings” category to receive these notifications.

Please visit the TSC2Go informational page to access instructions on how to set up and configure settings within the app. 

Fall Break is one day short  this school year due to the late start of school.

School will not be in session on Monday, October 19, 2020.

October 16, 2020 - Fall Break on the original school calendar has been changed to an

in-person school day and will be the final day of the first nine weeks grading period.

E-Flyers

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.

Media Balance and Well-Being
 

From phones and tablets to streaming movies and YouTube, tech and media are everywhere. Kids love easy access to shows, games, and information. Parents and caregivers love that kids can learn on the go (and stay busy when dinner's cooking). But it's easy to overdo it when the phone never stops pinging and the next episode plays automatically. Families can keep media and tech use in check by following a few simple practices.
