TCU changes back to school model for grades 1-6

On Tuesday night, the TCU School District announced that it was changing its model for the beginning of the school year.

An email to district families stated the district received additional case number information from Le Sueur County Public Health that supports changing the learning model to grades 1-6 being a hybrid model and the kindergarten remaining in-person every day.

The released stated preschool will follow kindergarten and remain in person on all planned days, and students in grades 7-12 will remain on their original hybrid schedule.

The first days of school is on the website calendar and in the TCU Return to School Guide for Parents at tcu2905.us.

The release also responded to “Who is Group A” and “Who is Group B” questions parents can have. It added that student buildings will be communicating the groups the student(s) are assigned to for the hybrid model.

It also addressed new start and dismissal times for students:

TCU High School 8:40 - 2:45

TCU Le Center 8:55 - 3:05

TCU Montgomery 8:50 - 3:00

TCU Lonsdale 9:35 - 3:45

The release added that it is also working to update bus route times. As a start, please anticipate that pick-up times will be 50 minutes later than currently planned and no change to drop off. To view busing information, navigate to “Bus” on the left side menu in the JMC parent portal on the TCU website.

Childcare will accept registrations based on the ability to provide staffing. Families in need of additional childcare due to this change can access school year registration forms online or by contacting the TCU Community Ed office at 507-364-8107.

“Again, we understand this impacts TCU families, yet decisions need to be made based on the data we are provided. It is our intention to avoid multiple transitions in a short period of time. Families should plan for more than a two or three week period of time for implementation of the various models throughout the year. Thank you for your understanding and patience!” the release stated.
