Dear TCS Families:
As we move into June, I’ve been thinking how we have all been asked to live our lives in ways that we would have never imagined due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. I want to thank you and your children for your flexibility and perseverance with the routines of our remote learning program.
Please continue to connect with us by doing educational activities, using Google meet and teacher office hours to support learning through our last day of school on June 26. TCS teachers are providing engaging and enriching remote educational experiences to reinforce learning. Please continue to stay involved so your child will earn credit for solid participation in remote learning.
We are working to create virtual year-end events to have closure to this very unusual school year. You will receive information throughout the month of June.
Stay safe, healthy and connected as our state gradually begins to reopen during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Take good care.
Sincerely,
Mr. Beaudet
Dear TCS Families,
I hope you had a pleasant Memorial Day Weekend. It was a strange opening to the season on Cape Cod as we continue to navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
We know how difficult it can be to persevere and be resilient through this extended school closure. Your overall well-being is important to us at TCS. With this in mind, teachers have incorporated Google meets and office hours to provide opportunities to check in on a regular basis. Teachers can give suggestions and guidance to support families academically and social/emotionally. Google meets and office hours allow students and families to connect with teachers and classmates.
If you feel you need additional support, please feel free to reach out to our TCS social worker and nurse. They are available to assist if you are struggling while the school building is closed to students and families.
Stay safe, healthy and connected with TCS.
Sincerely,
Mr.Beaudet

Dear TCS Families,
I hope you are well and were able to get outside for some enjoyable activities during this beautiful weather weekend.
As I have noted previously, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is requiring solid participation in remote educational activities to earn credit during the Covid-19 school closure. With this in mind, teachers are offering office hours for students and families. The office hours will allow for a check in with a teacher to help with any questions regarding the use of technology and/or challenges with any educational activities. Please contact your child’s teacher for specific times to access support if you need it.
In addition to participating with your child’s classroom teacher, please check in with special subject teachers. They are offering wonderful opportunities and would be so happy to connect with you.
Be well and stay connected with TCS.
Sincerely,
Mr. Beaudet

Dear TCS Families,
Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you were able to make a connection in some way with loved ones to commemorate this holiday during the stay at home advisory.
This past week we rolled out Google Meet. We received positive feedback from students, families and teachers! It is so nice for students to be able to virtually interact with classmates and teachers. We are excited to let you know that more of our staff will join Google Meets in the upcoming weeks. This is another opportunity for children to participate in our remote learning program.
As noted previously, participation by students is essential for the remainder of the school year. The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is requiring that all children participate in remote learning on a daily basis. TCS will award credit for solid participation and effort. We will give no credit for minimal or no participation and effort. This policy will replace the progress indicators and grades we used prior to the closure. Please contact your child’s teacher if you have questions regarding the expectations to earn credit for remote learning.
Thank you to our TEEA for the wonderful slide show for Educator Appreciation Week. It warmed our hearts to see your children and their messages!
Please stay connected with TCS as we all navigate our way through this public health emergency. Stay safe and healthy.
Sincerely,
Mr. Beaudet

Dear TCS Families:
I hope everyone is healthy and safe during the school closure due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. We at TCS think about you often and are providing you with opportunities to keep you engaged with the school for the remainder of this school year.
Governor Baker has closed the school building to keep us safe. However, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is requiring students to participate in remote learning for the remainder of the current school year. The state guidelines direct us to give credit to participants and no credit to students who do not actively participate in the learning activities offered by TCS. We understand the vast developmental differences of what participation looks like in different grade levels. Please connect with your classroom teacher if you have questions regarding active participation by your child. Daily communication with the classroom teacher by your child and in some cases by you is an effective way to earn credit for participation. If you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s teacher. Teachers can clearly communicate their expectations.
We continue to think of ways to reach out to students and families. With this in mind, we will roll out a once weekly virtual classroom meeting beginning the week of May 4, 2020. The expectation is that all students view and complete the online meeting expectations video learning activity that has been posted by Ms. Roderick in the media section of each grades 1-6 remote classroom page. This engaging educational video activity explicitly states the expectations for safe, respectful and responsible virtual classroom meeting behavior.
There are risks to online services, such as poor Internet connections, family members of students being present and other potential technical concerns. Nonetheless, to minimize any risks, all participants must agree, by participating in the online meetings, to refrain from disseminating any confidential student information about other student participants with any and all third parties. Similarly, we ask everyone in our school community to recognize that virtual meetings will be taking place in the homes of the educators and students who participate, and to be mindful of everyone’s right to privacy. To that end, we remind our students to dress appropriately and choose an appropriate location in their home from which to participate in any and all online meetings, particularly those with a video component. Parents/ guardians should take all precautions to safeguard personal or private information that they do not wish to be disclosed.
Students will be expected to behave in accordance with school rules of conduct while participating in online meetings. Cyber-bullying, harassment, discrimination, and abuse of the online meetings will not be tolerated and may result in suspension from the use of this type of digital platform. The Truro School District also encourages its staff and students alike to limit disruptions to remote meetings to the extent feasible (while also recognizing that sometimes pets, small children, and technical difficulties cannot be prevented from disrupting a lesson that happens at home). By accessing these online meetings, the Truro School District recognizes that you and your child consent and agree to fully comply with the requirements of this letter. You have the right to not access virtual meetings. If you would like to opt-out of these virtual meetings or have any questions or comments, please contact your child’s teacher via email.
Take care of yourself, each other and your community during this public health emergency.
Sincerely,
Mr. Beaudet

Here's a little hello from all of us to all of YOU!
Food for Children
While school is closed, all Truro children ages 3-18 are eligible to receive food free of charge from Truro Central School. A supply of breakfast and lunch food for an entire week is available for pick up (or delivery if necessary) at TCS each Tuesday from 10am-12pm. If you have not already done so please call 508-487-1558 x 203 by 12pm the Friday before to reserve. When you call, leave family name, number of children, allergies or dietary restrictions and address for delivery if needed. Deliveries are only available in Truro. Please indicate in your message if you would like to be placed on the permanent list thus eliminating the need to call in weekly.
Please pull up to the side door of the cafeteria and remain in your vehicle. Bags of food will be placed in your trunk. Once you have received your bags, please promptly exit the parking lot allowing for a quick, safe and efficient food distribution process.
If your child needs a device, please email rosenkampffk@truromass.org or harnede@truromass.org
Pick up for devices will be Tuesdays between 10:00 - 12:00. We are asking you to please pull up to the curb, stay in your car and open the trunk. A staff member will bring the device out and place it in your trunk.

Dear TCS Families:
I hope you are all safe and healthy while we are all hunkering down during the COVID-19 Pandemic. All of us at TCS appreciate you connecting with us through our online educational enrichment activities.
Please keep this in mind; we do not expect you to replicate a school day with your children. We want your kids to select some of the teacher suggested activities on a daily basis Monday through Friday. We are cognizant that elementary school children do not need to spend hours online working on digital educational activities to practice learning. Reading books, supervised nature walks, home cooking, creative play opportunities and exercise are just some of the ways to reinforce what we have been teaching at school. We want TCS kids to be physically, emotionally and educationally safe and healthy during the school closure.
Please look at the engaging digital resources and activities that are available on the Puma Paw Page and your child’s teacher classroom pages on the TCS Website. These resources can help you make healthy decisions pertaining to reinforcing your child’s learning.
Please stay connected with us. We miss all of you. Be safe and stay healthy.
Sincerely,
Mr.Beaudet

These are unprecedented times. I hope you are practicing social distancing with your loved ones and members of your community as we navigate this international pandemic.

We will roll out the enrichment activities on Monday, March 23 after 8:00 a.m.
Your child’s classroom teacher will contact you on Monday morning.

Communication will be by email or protocols that are already in place with Ms. Raymond and
Mr. L-P.
If you need an electronic devise contact the main office. We will make arrangements for you to get the device.
Keep your eyes on your emails and the school website for any new information or updates.
