MCS is excited to share valuable resources from the Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE) to support families in their children's learning journey. These materials are designed to strengthen the connection between home and school, providing families with tools, strategies, and information to help their children succeed academically and beyond. We encourage all families to explore these resources and partner with us in creating a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
