Parking, drop-off, and driveline, oh my! We are super excited to have students again on Tuesday, but along with that comes the drive line! Brush up on your plan and take a look at all of the resources we have made for you to help with the smooth process! Please remember that we have installed speed bumps this summer, so don't lose your muffler flying through the driveline. Also, the Boston bridge construction may add some time to your commute. Please watch our video and look through the handbook at the maps provided to you! We can't wait to see everyone! https://youtu.be/EYlC4WOa9uk https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Sl0_GsdIDOAdsB0VUxHeOujfivDI4PMh7fB9Du4RRMg/edit?usp=sharing

Welcome Back! Timberwolf Nation News.

Doors, Speed Bumps & the Boston Avenue Bridge Project. Student entry doors will open at 7:40 the first week of school, at 7:45 the second and third weeks of school and at 7:50 after Labor Day. Speed Bumps have been installed in the West Drop-off/Pick-up loop; drive accordingly please. The Boston Avenue Bridge will be closed the first day of school, on Tuesday the 13th. It is already a confusing day, and this will compound it, with only one way in and one way out via S. Francis to the Secondary lot. Please be patient. The good news though is it means the Boston Avenue Bridge project is ahead of schedule. I look forward to seeing many of you on Monday during our new family open house at 9:00am and returning families at 1:00pm. Joe Mehsling

Join us in welcoming Sarah Haan to the Preschool Team as an Instructional Assistant! You may recognize her as a parent and a regular TPCA substitute! Born and raised in Indiana, Sarah attended college in Michigan and Indiana, earning degrees in English, Business-CAS, and Nursing.
