The Tuckahoe PTA’s STEM Committee is dedicated to supporting the growth of TUFSD students in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math fields. For this extended school closure, we’ve identified resources for families to access from home. View our suggested links below. We hope all our students can also keep up with their school-assigned STEM work!
