Next Wednesday, October 20th is an early release day. All of our students will be dismissed at Noon. Please continue to communicate with your child’s cab company, and we will remind them as well.

Please review the Elementary Handbook. When you have finished, please sign the back page and return to your child's teacher, or complete our online consent agreement.
Elementary welcomes a new third grader, Siok!

Enjoy the weekend!

Hello, Families,

I hope you have enjoyed learning about what your students are studying and their classroom activities this past week. 

I felt it was important to share an update with all of you after last week’s COVID case at TLC:

We did have one person in our community who tested positive. Subsequently, several other individuals were identified as close contacts, and we felt that the safest decision for everyone was to close our ECC building for two days. 

All the other individuals identified as close contacts did end up testing negative. We want to thank all our families and our entire TLC community for their partnership and patience as we continue to navigate these challenging times.

Our COVID protocols here at TLC include detailed steps and several subcommittees that all work tirelessly to prioritize our messaging, accessibility and platforms. We acknowledge that sometimes, we may not get it perfect. We appreciate your compassion; your feedback is invaluable to us. 

Should you continue to have any concerns or feedback, we ask that you email us at healthandsafety@tlcdeaf.org. 

Thank You! Please stay safe. Wear a mask - and wash your hands!!
