Superintendent's Message
Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome to Traverse City Area Public Schools (TCAPS). We are delighted to invite you to enroll your child in our school community. It is a cherished trust we share with our parents, and we will do all we can do to provide the very best for your child and every child we serve.
We are proud to be part of a great community that values education. TCAPS’ staff, students, parents, and administration all work together to provide every child with opportunities to grow academically and personally. We are dedicated to providing you with an outstanding learning experience that includes comprehensive educational programs offered by TCAPS. We promise you and your child a safe and friendly school.
TCAPS' learning communities offer a great place for students to make friends, challenge their imagination, learn thinking skills for the future, and continue on their educational journey toward achieving their goals. The relationships that are formed between students, staff, and families truly help to "open doors" where ideas can be exchanged and where learning and growth can occur.
We invite you to become fully involved in the educational journey of your student and our community’s youth – as a parent, volunteer, mentor, booster, and community supporter of our public schools. The Board of Education, administration, and staff of TCAPS are ever grateful to work in the service of youth and for the many caring circles of families and communities who work together in partnership with our schools to create a bright future.
We look forward to working with you to ensure a rewarding and successful educational journey for your child.
Sincerely,
James G. Feil
Superintendent
