•    Grade Requirement:

•    Temporary I.D. Check-Outs:
o    No more than 5 for the semester
•    Tardies:
o    No more than 5 unexcused tardies in any one class (exceeding this disqualifies the student from all exam exemptions)

TCS Book Exchange & Resale

Hello, Temple Families! Before everyone heads off to enjoy a relaxing summer, TPA would like to close out the school year with our TCS Book Exchange & Resale!

The TCS Book Exchange & Resale will take place on Saturday, June 14, 2025, from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM in the school cafeteria.
This is a great opportunity for parents of incoming 6th–12th graders to sell or give away books, as well as purchase gently used ones.
To participate, please place sticky notes on your books with your name, grade, and asking price. All transactions are solely between the buyer and seller—please bring cash, a checkbook, or arrange electronic transfers. Temple Christian School and Temple Parents in Action will not negotiate or facilitate transactions.
IMPORTANT: Workbooks must be brand new, as marked-up workbooks are not permitted per TCS guidelines.
Before buying or selling, please verify ISBN numbers. Textbook lists will be available in the cafeteria that morning to assist with selections.
If you're unable to attend the Book Exchange, there's also a Facebook page you can join. Click the link below to check it out! https://www.facebook.com/groups/779289565503264/?ref=share
If you have any questions, please contact Monica Lopez at templechristiantpa@gmail.com
