BUILDING LITERACY

Build a Book


Combine the fun of crafting and drawing with the magic of story telling. Help your child spark their imaginations by creating a storybook together. Use paper, crayons, markers, and colored pencils to tell a story in images. As a parent, assist as needed with writing words to the story which accompany the illustrations. Books created can be saved in a home library, or shared with family member.

TECHNOLOGY TIPS

Checking Email Doesn't Have to be Scary.


Slow down, read, and always consider the consequences before clicking. Email is an easy doorway for viruses to creep on to your computer. It is also a sneaky way for outsiders to gather your personal information. Do not be so easily tricked.

SAFETY AS A TOP PRIORITY

TPSS is committed to excellence! 


The well-being of our students and staff is of utmost importance to us. This includes social-emotional learning, working to accelerate learning for all students, and expanding opportunities for students during and after the school day with a focus on STEM.

Collaboration is Key!


"Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds."

- Alexander Graham Bell


Our students learn so much more than academics in our classrooms. Our curriculum is designed in a way which fosters collaboration, inquiry, discussion, and problem solving. We are so very #TangiProud of our students and their abilities to collaborate together to share ideas and find solutions.
