The Wave 
February 9, 2018 
The picture and write-up above is being sent out by SEA Architecture. I thought that you might enjoy seeing what a lovely place we have here! It obviously was last fall...the photographer provided us with some great images that are also used on our website!   

We are getting set to host a "Transitions" meeting for any/all students. This will be on February 20th (the same night as the ODS meeting). We will have guests joining us from WLHS and WHS to talk with our 8th grade students. The 4th - 7th grade will be split between 4/5 and 6/7 - each with lead teachers in charge. We want to discuss how to make healthy and informed transitions from grade to grade and school to school. We hope to see you come if you are wondering how to do that in the midst of the 4th - 8th grade model. We are a school of choice. Your choice can build the community or cause it upset.

OUTDOOR SCHOOL PARENT MEETING*  7:00 - 8:00 PM 

*Outdoor School Required meeting for any parent who has not had a student attend a TRCS ODS.
