Recent emergencies: 

Plumbing: power outage a couple weeks ago affected the sewage pump and plumbing backed up.

A parent who owns a mobile restroom company generously loaned a trailer restroom for a day while plumbers were fixing the situation. 

Earthquake and Tsunami response: the students and staff followed their protocols for earthquake and tsunami response last Thursday.  A lot was learned in the experience, there were some bumps but no major issues.  Lessons learned involved each teacher having a student list, not answering the phone, using the stop sign while crossing the highway.  Fairly soon after evacuating the all-clear was given to return to school. 

 

CA Dashboard: 

TRCS is labeled "green" in ELA and Math on the dashboard, which is wonderful. 

 

Charter Performance Categories: TRCS is "Middle Performing" - which means our charter can be renewed for a five year term.
