Winter Concert

Reminder that 7/8 Concert will take place on December 12th and 5/6 Concert will take place on December 14th. Parents with students participating should have received a detailed email from your child’s ensemble director regarding attire and times. If you still have any questions, please feel free to contact your child’s ensemble director.

We request you to consider carpooling!

 Please be advised of the district’s parking guidelines detailed below for your reference.

The fire lanes are now clearly marked with “No Parking” signs to allow for unobstructed access for emergency vehicles seven days a week, even when school is not in session. Cars that are parked, stopped or standing in a designated fire lane may be ticketed by the police and/or towed by a private towing company, at the owner’s expense.

Parking will be available in the TEMS parking lots, along Howelville Road, and at the Network Operations Center building across the street from TEMS. Parking at Conestoga and in the field area (weather permitting) via Old Lancaster Road will also be available.

Parking on Old Lancaster Road requires a permit from the township.  

Joe Corbi Order Pickup

If you ordered food through the Joe Corbi Gourmet Food fundraiser, please plan to pickup your order Tuesday, December 12th, at the back entrance of TEMS anytime between 2:30-5:30pm

Please do not park in the pickup line at the back of school; instead, park in a spot and enter through the back doors directly into the cafeteria where the food orders will be ready for pick up. 

You may also have your child pick up the order at dismissal; however, please be aware that it will be a lot for them to carry if you ordered multiple items.

If you are unable to pick up in this window, please email amym317@yahoo.com to make other arrangements. 

Thank you for supporting this fundraiser!

Book Swap

Thanks to all the students who donated books for the book swap event! We are also grateful for the book donations we got from our local libraries!

Thanks also to our parent volunteers who worked on sorting the huge variety of books we received and being there to help run the event.
