Program Honoring Veterans and Grandparents

Veterans Day, November 11, will see our staff arriving early to prepare a breakfast for all students and their parents. We are also inviting grandparents and local veterans to come and eat with us. We start serving at 7:00am. We will stop serving at 7:45am and by 8:00am we will be presenting a short program in honor of our guests. We anticipate concluding the morning activities between 8:30 and 8:45, so please plan to come out and support those we wish to honor.

Webpage / Grading Program… Running

Our Webpage is up and running. We have gone over to a new server at Adventist Schools Connect. The new URL is http://tricity24.adventistschoolconnect.org, however, if you don’t mind the extra click, you can always go to http://tcja.org and access the new webpage by following the link found on that page.

Along with the new webpage, we have also gone to a new grading program. Parents need to contact the school for their one-time access code. This code can be used to set up access the way you would like it. Please contact the office if you have not been able to log onto the grade manager, and you would like to (and have a right to) do so. We will walk you through setting up.

Upcoming Musical Concert

Our middle and high school musical groups (advanced band, choir, and bells) will be performing in a Fall concert at the TCJA gym on November 18 at 7:00pm. While a freewill offering will be taken to help offset the extra expenses of running these programs, there is no fee to attend so come on out to support the school groups. Besides our being gifted with music, we will also have the opportunity to mingle following the program as we enjoy some light refreshments. It doesn’t get much better than this, folks.

Athletics

The soccer team’s season is officially over, and now the volleyball and flag football are about to expire as well. Each of these two teams still have a few games left in their seasons, however. Check the calendar at the TCJA website to stay on top of all games and activities happening at the school.

Thanksgiving Break

This is just to remind you that the school will be closed for the entire week during Thanksgiving (Nov. 22 – Nov. 26).
