Happy Easter Monday, TRS Families! I hope that everyone is having a wonderful extended long weekend and that you were able to connect with friends and family over that time!
On Thursday, we hosted our Annual TRS Spring Dance, and it was a giant success. We are so full of gratitude that families come and participate in our community building events such as the dances! We look forward to welcoming everyone back tomorrow for a shorter week at TRS!
CommuniTEA
Our first TRS CommuniTEA will happen on April 24th from 9:00 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. The purpose of the communitea is to gather stakeholders in TRS school- parents and guardians, share tea and light refreshments and engage in healthy conversations around particular "themes" as they relate to all things TRS. I will be a part of the communitea, but I am not "running it" per se. It is a conversational drop in. The theme on the 24th will be "discipline". Hope to see you there! Please arrive via the front door- we will meet in the staff room!

The discussion will include topics such as: the impact of smartphones, social media and other technology on children academically and socially, upcoming guidelines on screentime in children and practical strategies that parents/teachers can use to promote healthy use of digital media.
