TCAPS schools will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, March 18, 2026. This decision was made to prioritize the safety of our students, staff, and community by allowing our facilities team and local road crews the time needed to clear the heavy snow received throughout the district and on secondary roads. While all school buildings are closed, the TCAPS Administration Building will be open. Employees who normally report on closure days should report as scheduled.

Students currently enrolled in Michigan Virtual, Acellus, or Dual-Enrolled classes should follow the specific direction of their instructors for those programs.

For more information, please visit www.tcaps.net.

TCAPS Alert Early Release Day
It’s National School Counseling Week, and let’s be honest: our school wouldn’t run without the heart and hustle of our amazing counseling team! ✨

Whether they’re helping our Seniors navigate college apps, lending a listening ear during a tough day, or helping a student find their path, they are the ultimate MVPs. They do so much more than "schedule classes"—they help build futures from the 1st day of Freshman year to walking across the stage at Graduation.

Why we love our counselors:
▪️The Advocates: They always have our students' backs.

▪️The Listeners: No problem is too big or too small.

▪️The Visionaries: Helping our students see potential they didn’t know they had.

Take a second today to stop by their office, drop a note, or tag them below to say THANK YOU for everything they do! 🖤💛
