Tecumseh North Elementary -

We are so excited for the Foam Party tonight from 5:30-7:30pm. Please do not park in the bus loop or the back (east side) parking lot. Please enter through the south side of the playground. There will be a table to pay the $5 entry fee and receive a wrist band. Don't forget to bring a towel and your friends! This is a CASH ONLY event. See ya soon!

Due to tightening safety standards within the building, the main exterior door will no longer be unlocked in the morning prior to 8am. It will unlock at 8am and students may enter the foyer only at that time. The main interior doors will be unlocked, like normal, at 8:10am. This means that students will not be able to enter the foyer until 8am. Numerous communication has been sent out regarding not having supervision prior to 8:10am, when students can fully enter the building. While they still cannot enter the building until 8:10am due to no supervision, they may be in the foyer starting at 8am. Please be aware, however, that staff are not on-duty to supervise students in the foyer from 8-8:10am. Lastly, please do not drop your student off before 8am. They will not be able to get into the foyer until 8am and will have to wait outside, which is not safe. Please call the office with questions/clarifications or to receive information for before school care with BGC at 785-379-5910. Thank you!

Panthers-- We have had a great first day of school! It's been so good to see our new and returning students. I know we are going to have a great year! Just a reminder that our school hours have changed. School starts at 8:30am and ends at 3:35pm. Doors still open at 8:10am. For this week, we will start dismissal early to ensure all students get home how they are supposed to. Starting next week, we will start dismissal at 3:35pm. Tomorrow, we will start our normal morning routine. If students are eating breakfast, they will go to the cafeteria when they get in the building. If students are not eating breakfast, they will go to the gym. Students have their breakfast card zip tied to their backpacks. Please leave them on their backpacks so we can use them for breakfast. If you have any questions, please call the office at 785-379-5910. Thank you! -Principal Bivens

If your student is a car rider, please plan give your car tags to Mrs. Lewis in the car line tomorrow at pickup. We plan to reuse as many car tags as possible next year. Each student should have two car tags to return. If you have lost your car tags, don't worry! Just let Mrs. Lewis know that information in the car line tomorrow. Happy summer!

6th Grade Families- Tonight is our TN 6th grade promotion ceremony at 5:30. Front doors will open at 5:15. Students will go directly to their classrooms to get lined up. BGC has also planned an event on the south side of the building for 5:30, there is a food truck for the BGC event only.

Due to the rain, we are delaying the elementary track meet 30 minutes. We will start at 6:30pm. We will update if anything changes via text.

The 5th/6th track meet is still scheduled for 6:00pm tonight. We will text closer to the time of the event if it's cancelled due to rain, otherwise the event scheduled as planned. Participants need to be there at 5:45om. PLEASE PARK AT SHMS. It is also recommended to bring a towel to wipe down the bleachers or bring a stadium seat. Thank you!

Our 5th/6th track meet was rescheduled from last Monday to tomorrow, 5/13/24. Students participating need to wear their t-shirt to school tomorrow & arrive at SHHS at 5:45pm. If you are attending the track meet, please park in the middle school parking lot since there is an orchestra performance at the high school tomorrow night as well. There will be food trucks this year, which will open at 5pm. Let's have some fun!

TN Families— This morning we had to issue a “soft lockdown” due to a student having a medical emergency. A “soft lockdown” is when all exterior doors are secured, yet instruction & movement still occurs within the building. In this case, however, we had to keep some students in their classrooms so AMR could assist the student. The student is doing well due the quick response from our TN staff. If you have any questions or clarifications, please contact the office. Thank you, -Katie Bivens
