Mission Statement
The Truro School System fosters a healthy, secure, and supportive atmosphere which develops the intellectual, physical, social, and creative potential of each individual. We are a nurturing community that challenges and prepares students to accept the responsibilities of citizenship and leadership, and to recognize and assess critically the values and directions of our global society. Throughout the curriculum and in all activities, we endeavor to create a positive, productive atmosphere that promotes respect for learning, self esteem, concern for others, and mastery of decision-making skills.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,
After a relatively quiet start, this summer’s pace has picked up rapidly in the past week. I had hoped to be in touch with you last week, but the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has sent us so much additional information I didn’t want this to be outdated as soon as we hit “Send”. Here goes:
Next, we’ll be looking for your thoughts about whether you’ll send them to us, or keep them at home. You actually have two choices for keeping them at home – a TCS remote learning program, or home schooling, in which you choose your own curriculum. More about those choices will come in early August.
Please remember, we’ve set up a dedicated email account for questions about reopening TCS – it’s reopeningTCS@truromass.org. We keep an eye on that account, and will respond to your questions as quickly as we can.
You may expect another update within a week, with the bus survey, and any new developments from the state.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,
After a relatively quiet start, this summer’s pace has picked up rapidly in the past week. I had hoped to be in touch with you last week, but the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has sent us so much additional information I didn’t want this to be outdated as soon as we hit “Send”. Here goes:
- Governor Baker wants as many children as possible to return to school in person, safely, this fall. His administration, working with the Department of Ed, has outlined strict conditions for a safe return. They include social distancing, aiming for 6’ between students; masks for staff, and all students from at least second grade up; reduced numbers of students on our buses (all with masks); rigorous hand hygiene; and high cleaning expectations for schools.
- Every school and district must submit plans to the state twice this summer, explaining what we will do differently from last year if students return in person; how we will provide remote learning, either to children whose parents choose not to send them back to school in person, or to everyone, should we have to close again this year; and for a combination “hybrid” program, should we be able to return only half of our students at a time. The first of these plans is due July 31st, and will confirm that we are able to open in person, and comply with all the safety and health requirements outlined above. The second plan is due early in August, and will provide more detail about all three approaches.
Next, we’ll be looking for your thoughts about whether you’ll send them to us, or keep them at home. You actually have two choices for keeping them at home – a TCS remote learning program, or home schooling, in which you choose your own curriculum. More about those choices will come in early August.
Please remember, we’ve set up a dedicated email account for questions about reopening TCS – it’s reopeningTCS@truromass.org. We keep an eye on that account, and will respond to your questions as quickly as we can.
