This February, TCPS recognizes the 100th anniversary of Black History Month, initiated in 1926 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson. We honor the achievements, resilience, and lasting contributions of Black leaders and changemakers who have shaped our schools, communities, and nation. This year's theme, "A Century of Black History Commemorations" highlights a 100-year legacy of documenting, honoring, and promoting the contributions of Black people to American culture.

School Counseling Week is February 2–6! This year’s theme, “School Counselors Amplify Student Success,” captures the incredible impact our school counselors have on our students every day—from academic planning and college and career readiness to social-emotional support and crisis response.

Superintendent's Update - January 28, 2026
Chapel Families-

I hope you are staying warm and safe this week! I just wanted to remind families of students in 1st-5th grades that tomorrow and Friday will be virtual learning days. Instruction will begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. and will end at 11:45 a.m. Breaks will be provided as needed to students. There will also be additional staff in each Google Meet virtual classroom to assist. Teacher office hours will be from 1:00-2:00 p.m. for any students or families who may need support.

Please have your child charge their iPad TONIGHT and find a quiet place to work for virtual instruction. Your child's video will be on display for their entire virtual class, so you may want to check your background as well to ensure privacy.

If you are unable to connect, please reach out to your child's teacher (for attendance purposes) or contact Mr. Hynson at our Help Desk (CDESSupport@talbotschools.org).

Students in Pre-K and Kindergarten were provided a packet of work to complete that will be collected when we return to school. As always, please reach out with any questions or concerns!

TCPS Elementary Virtual Instruction Schedule

Hello TCPS Families,

As of Wednesday, January 28, TCPS has used all four built-in inclement weather days in the Board-approved calendar for this school year. Due to the continued extreme temperatures and icy road conditions throughout the county, we will move to virtual instruction on Thursday, January 29, and Friday, January 30.

Devices were sent home with all students in grades 1-12, and learning packets were sent home with PreK and Kindergarten students on Friday, January 23, in preparation for this.

Grades 1-12 teachers will provide synchronous instruction, assignments, and support through our online learning platforms. All Synchronous Virtual instruction will begin at 8:00 a.m. The 2025-2026 Virtual Instruction Day Plan is linked below, which includes specific schedules and instructions for accessing the learning management system.

For grades 1-12, attendance will be taken, and students are expected to engage in virtual learning. PreK and Kindergarten students will be asynchronous and are asked to complete their learning packets. Please look for communications from your child’s school and/or their teacher.

The Technology Team will be available to provide remote support during days designated for virtual instruction.
