Welcome to December! I hope everyone had a good week.
TLC is excited to host a workshop next Monday and Tuesday for all Secondary students with Deaf Kids Code. Students will have a two and a half hour, project-based workshop with the Deaf Kids Code staff. We are excited to see pictures and hear about what the students learn.
Regarding our new database Skyward, we are still preparing report cards. Since it is our first-time doing report cards with the new database, we are making sure that everything is accurate and clear, as well as navigating some unexpected glitches. If report cards are not sent out by next week, I will share an update next Friday. Also, I know that families and students are waiting for their access
to the portal. Again, with the new system, we are making sure everything is smooth before we roll it out. I hope to have more information about an updated timeline.
I want to remind families that this year TLC has a grant to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students. There is no need to fill out the free or reduced lunch application this year, and families will not be billed; any student is able to pick up breakfast or lunch whenever they wish. We encourage families to consider taking advantage of this opportunity.
I know that sometimes this year there have been changes to what is published on the lunch menu. The food supply chain challenges everywhere are also impacting TLC. This means that sometimes we receive something different than we were expecting in our weekly food order.
We will try to communicate with families and students about changes as soon as possible. Also, we ask that students and families be flexible with minor substitutions. For example, the menu might say chicken nuggets but chicken tenders are served. Sometimes, if there are any questions related with food services or meals on campus, please feel free to contact me.
Have a great weekend. I hope everyone will keep an eye out on social media Monday and Tuesday for pictures from Deaf Kids Code.
