Congratulations to Jenna Legambi, Special Education teacher at Chapel District Elementary, for being honored with the TCPS Education Foundation Teacher of the Month Award! Jenna is an exceptional special education teacher who genuinely loves and cares for the students she serves. She is creative, intentional, and thoughtful in how she meets each student’s individual needs through a special education lens, but also focuses on the whole child.
Jenna builds strong relationships with students and their families and genuinely values their input. She actively seeks feedback from families and uses it to better understand and support her students. She is also an outstanding problem solver who approaches challenges with a positive mindset and a willingness to find solutions rather than focus on obstacles.
Above all, Jenna consistently advocates for her students and is guided by one core belief: always do what is best for students. Her compassion, creativity, collaboration, and unwavering commitment make her an invaluable member of the Chapel District Elementary School community and highly deserving of this recognition.

Due to a continued bus driver shortage, ALL students who normally ride bus 207 will be riding a DIFFERENT bus for this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon. This will impact all bus drop-off times for 212, 215, 219, and 241. Please be patient with drop-off times, due to this change from the TCPS Transportation Dept. Thank you!

Bus 207 broke down, and a new bus is coming to pick up kids and deliver the remaining students. It will be about 20-30 minutes behind today. It will be a different bus number.
