Happy Friday! It has been a great week at TRCS! We even received a magical snow day! The spelling bee competition took place today and it was so much fun! We loved watching our students have fun and challenge each other. Speaking of snow, it looks like there may be some more on the way. We will see! Next week, if we miss additional days due to snow, please make sure and check Google Classroom as teachers may add assignments to your students’ classes. We will only post work on the second day of cancelled school and any additional days after that. Assignments we may add include finishing classwork that we have already started, reading assignments, and digital learning options, such as IXL, Delta Math, and ReadWorks. We have already talked to the students, and they should be coming home with their literature books and any other important materials. In the event of a snow-day, teachers will post any homework by 9 AM on Google Classroom. To be prepared for class, students should have these assignments done per the due dates listed. As we head into the last two weeks of the term, it is very important that students do everything they can to stay current.
Mindset thought of the week: Rosa Parks said, “You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.” In life we often find that doing the right is more challenging. However, we also find that it is the most rewarding. Let’s keep striving to do the right thing even when it is more challenging.
Have a great weekend TRCS and we will see you Monday (unless it snows and school is canceled).

No School Snow Days
We are all watching the forecast closely, as there is a possibility of being out of school for several days. In the event of extended break from school due to the weather, students should be checking their Google Classrooms for any potential work a teacher might post. As stated above, this could include finishing classwork that we have already started, reading assignments, and digital learning options, such as IXL, Delta Math, and ReadWorks. Thank you for helping us keep students learning, even when we cannot be at school!
