T/E Middle School CARE Team

The CARE Team at T/E Middle School is a group of teachers, counselors, administrators, and specialists working together to assist students in removing barriers to their learning. Barriers may include social stressors, self-esteem, family stressors, or emotional stressors.

 

Students can be referred to the CARE team by themselves, a parent, a peer, a teacher, or a counselor. The team will contact the parents and the teachers of the student to collect information about their school performance. The team will work with the parent to provide options of support, which may include a referral to an in-school support group or an outside assessment. If you would like the CARE Team to help your student, please reach out to your child's guidance counselor and they can assist you

A Note From the Nurse
  • Please have your student eat breakfast or at least grab a bar or something on their way out the door. Also, remind them that there is free breakfast in the cafeteria every morning. 
  • The nurse's office is accepting donations of plastic barrels or individual packs of pretzels and/or animal crackers. We greatly appreciate any donations. 
  • If you have any gently used TEMS gear that your students no longer wear, we would love to have it here in the nurse's office.
  • Per Pennsylvania state requirements. All 6th graders need to have a physical exam on file & all 7th graders need to have a dental exam. These exams need to be within the last rolling year. If you receive an email from the nurse saying your student's exam is missing, we do not have one on file. Thank you for your prompt attention to this. 
  • The Student Health Services web page on the TESD website has been updated. Take a peek at it when you get a chance. 
Join us for the Newcomers/Welcoming Committee Coffee!

The PTO Newcomers/Welcoming Committee Coffee is a great opportunity to mingle with fellow newcomers and our friendly Welcoming Committee members. Come and learn tips from veteran parents or simply drop in to connect with other new families. The next gathering is set for Friday, October 3 from 9:30 - 11:30 Cup of Dreams in Paoli. It’s a casual drop-in, all are welcome to stop by anytime during that window to connect with veteran parents and other new parents. Got questions? Feel free to reach out to our Welcoming Committee chair, Karen Zamperini (karenzamperini@gmail.com).
