Tilghman Elementary

Dear Students, Parents, or Guardian, 

On behalf of the staff and students of Tilghman Elementary School, I would like to welcome you to the new school year, 2011-2012. We hope that throughout the summer weeks, you have rested and are rejuvenated for the new school year. 

 Our school strives to meet the needs of the students.  The staff is dedicated to providing every child with the best educational opportunity possible.  Tilghman Elementary School is a small school in size, but large in our commitment to excellence. 

We believe that students learn best when education is a community priority and that the school/home partnership is key to the student’s success.  Please consider YOURSELF a valuable team member in your child’s education.  Never underestimate the influences that a parent/guardian has on student learning, behaviors, and attitudes. 

Our mission is to engage the students in the learning process.  We will work diligently to bring success to our students, staff, parents, and community.  Throughout the year, you will receive monthly newsletters that highlight school activities and information.  Your child will receive the newsletter to bring home.  Also, the newsletters can be found on the school website  www.tcps.k12.md.us, and link to TES. Various items of interest can be located on this county school website (menus, events, school closings, policies), so please check it out. 

Every new school year is exciting, as it brings many new challenges and opportunities for us to learn, grow, and succeed together.  We look forward to becoming active team members with you.  Carly Fiorina said. “Recognize the power of a team; no one succeeds alone.”  How true this is!   Here at TES, we cannot stand-alone; therefore, the team concept must be the operating norm for us. 

Thank you for your continued support at Tilghman Elementary School.   We have a wonderful community support for our after school programs and students.  WELCOME and join us in our anticipation of many successes and celebrations this year! 

Sincerely, 

 Mrs. Crow and TES Staff
