The teachers at TQS inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning. They provide instruction, guidance, support, structure, and comfort. At times, they are also a source of strength, a shoulder to cry on, and a provider of a friendly smile.
The Excellence in Teaching Fund helps TQS to supplement our robust professional development program by providing opportunities to our devoted faculty.
As has been the case since the beginning of the pandemic, our focus is on operating safely and in the best interests of our students, families, and staff, so our planning is being informed, as always, by the recommendations of the Montgomery County Office of Public Health. Earlier this week the agency issued its guidance on COVID-19 prevention for K-12 schools. If future guidance is issued, TQS will adjust accordingly. Much of the guidance is linked to four community transmission levels which measure the prevalence of positive COVID cases at the county level at any given time.
Here at TQS, the summer sun brings with it our Summer Program, which is now joyfully underway. Children are here learning, studying, laughing, running, swimming, and playing together. There is glee in the hallways and on the playing fields, and a lightness in the building that brings me great satisfaction and happiness.
The rising sun also signifies a new day … a refresh … a starting over. And boy does that feel appropriate this summer.
