TCAPS Transportation and Safety Update
Our TCAPS Administrative team spent the day working closely with Grand Traverse County to evaluate road conditions and finalize bus routing. While families whose students have been rerouted have already been notified, we ask for your patience tomorrow, as there will likely be delays in both morning pick-up and afternoon drop-off times. School administrators are aware of these delays and are prepared to assist students as they arrive.
To stay updated on your student’s transportation status, please utilize the MyRide K-12 app. You can access Account Setup Instructions and Routing Information online to view real-time routing details at https://www.tcaps.net/page/transportation. The Grand Traverse County Road Commission asks that you plan ahead for the next few days and give yourself extra time. Please use extra caution when traveling and slow down immediately if you encounter areas with standing water.
Also, please note that tomorrow is a scheduled early release day. You can view start and dismissal times athttps://5il.co/3jfxa and the full academic calendar athttps://5il.co/3jfx6. Thank you for your flexibility and for your partnership in keeping our students and drivers safe.

We are beyond thrilled to announce that one of our own has been selected as a 2026 Fund for Teachers Fellow!🏆
Out of an incredibly competitive pool of applicants, their proposal shone through for its creativity, heart, and deep dedication to our students. This isn't just an award; it’s an investment in a vision that will bring history to life in our classrooms. This summer, Mr. Glikman will turn a brilliant idea into a global reality. Our fellow will be traveling through France, Belgium, and Spain to visit iconic art and historical sites tied to the French Revolution, bring back primary evidence and unique perspectives from across Europe, and design a brand-new, inquiry-based curriculum specifically tailored to support high schoolers with diverse learning needs.
We are so inspired by your commitment to your craft and your community. We can't wait to see the incredible stories and lessons Mr. Glikman brings back to CHS!
