Today is National Voter Registration Day!!

Parents of Seniors, please

encourage your students to register to vote. They can do this online
or they can stop by the media center and pick up a form. Mrs.
Coleman will take them to the Voter Registration office.

Because of Hurricane Irma, our students have missed at least

three days of classroom time. We are planning for our students
to make up one of those days to keep them from being too far
behind. Tuesday, October 10, was originally scheduled to be a
parent/teacher conference day. Instead, teachers will meet with parents
before/after normal school hours for conferences so that students can be in
school on October 10. All students and staff will still have Fall Break on October
9, but October 10 will now be a full instructional day for students.

TCHS Peer-Tutoring Program The TCHS Peer-Tutoring

Program is designed to provide tutoring opportunities for
students who are experiencing difficulties in the areas of
Math, Science, CTAE, Foreign Language and Social Studies.
Peer-Tutoring Sessions will be conducted Monday-Thursday
from 3:15 PM to 3:45 PM in the Career Center in the guidance office. Please
contact your school counselor if you are interested in setting up tutoring
sessions or becoming a peer-tutor. Students requesting services would need to
do so a few days in advance due to scheduling procedures. Students providing
tutoring services will earn community service hours.
