The process to select the 2026–2027 TCPS Teacher of the Year and Support Staff of the Year has begun!
Is there a teacher or member of the TCPS support staff who is truly outstanding, has made a significant impact on your family, and/or goes above and beyond in their commitment as a professional? The Teacher of the Year and Support Staff of the Year programs are a fantastic way to recognize educators who exemplify excellence.
Any individual within the school system or any member of the community may nominate a candidate to apply to be Talbot’s Teacher of the Year or Support Staff of the Year. Nominations for both Teacher of the Year and Support Staff of the Year are due by January 16, 2026. Click on the link below for details, eligibility information, and nomination forms.
Where: Easton Elementary School (Cafeteria)
Meals are available to ANY TCPS family. You are welcome to use the food for your own family, or "pay it forward" to another family in need.
We will have meats, fresh fruits and vegetables as available, plus plenty of pantry staples.
THANK YOU, CarePacks!!!

Good afternoon, TCPS Community,
The Diligent Community system TCPS uses for Board of Education meeting documents is currently down. Unfortunately, the vendor can not give us a timeline for its return. This means that access to our Board meeting agenda for this evening is not currently available through the Diligent platform. A copy of the agenda is linked below, but the links to the supporting documents are not live at this time. Live streaming of the meeting will still be available via the following link: Board of Ed Meeting Live Stream. The Board meeting will also be recorded for viewing at a later time.
We hope that the system will be back in working order before the Open Session of the meeting at 7:00 pm. We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause!
