Mazel Tov

To big brothers Ian and Henry and the entire Gurvis family on the birth of baby Eleanor!

Late Afternoon Classroom Pick Up

Pick ups after 4:15pm will now take place indoors and on the playground. Please park in the parking lot, ring the doorbell at the front door, and proceed to your child's classroom for pick up. If they are on the playground or in another location, the teachers will leave a sign on the classroom door to guide you. To limit the chance of a covid related exposure, we ask that you keep your pick up time brief. All other pick ups will remain in the carline.

Bubble Blast, Round 2

Wednesday-Thursday, July 20-21
We had so much fun that we are doing it again! We'll fill the parking lot with bubbles for full body sensory exploration. Imagine a heap of sudsy, refreshing bubbles ready for play! We are using a hypoallergenic foam for this fun experience.

Health Updates

Return From Positive & Exposure

Please notify us immediately if your child or anyone in your household tests positive or if your child is exposed. There are recent updates to our covid protocol, making testing easier for families and shortening quarantine time for vaccinated individuals exposed at home. You can review a full list of current return to school protocol here.

Weekly Case Count & Surveillance Results

There were fifteen cases of covid in Children's Center children and faculty in the past week. The sick individuals will be out until cleared to return. With increased covid cases this week, we are closely monitoring the case counts both within TBS and in the local community. Increases in cases bring the possibility of a return to universal masking. We will continue to keep you updated.

We processed 164 covid tests (148 PCR, 4 antigen, 10 NAAT, and 2 LAMP) for students and faculty. Four were positive and the rest were negative.
