Happy New Year!
As the second semester of this epic year begins, we are continuing to work together in our efforts to stay open for in-school learning, offer a quality at-home education, and, most importantly, stay healthy. Our TMS students have risen to meet the challenges of schooling during this pandemic, and they continue to STRIVE towards excellence.
Semester one report cards are now posted on ParentVue and will be mailed home as well. Please reach out to your student’s counselor, or teachers, if you have concerns or questions about their progress. We do have a significant number of students that are still not completing their Friday remote assignments. Please support your student in meeting the expectation of continuing to complete their schoolwork on Fridays. The remote learning assignments can greatly impact your student’s grades.
We have recently been cleared to offer intramural athletic extra-curricular activities. Wrestling will start on January 11th, but it will have very limited sparring options. Seventh and eighth grade Volleyball is also starting on the 11th but will not be competing with other schools at this time. Having students involved in activities is one of the most important choices they can make to build connections and enjoy being a part of a team.
For the first time, TMS is offering a virtual Chess Club, which will not have a fee this year, and the TMS Culture Club is kicking off with a fry bread activity next week. If your student is interested in any of these activities, please pick up more information at the front office, or call 352-7500.
Many of our students were recognized last semester for their efforts academically with Honor Roll certificates and treats. We also had hundreds of STRIVE cards submitted for students showing service, tolerance, responsibility, integrity, vision, or effort. In addition, many students participated in completing math work in their free time. Students completing ALEKS and Moby Math lessons were entered into a drawing for prizes and earned math certificates. These are just a few examples of how your students continue to exceed our expectations. Thank you for your support and know that we enjoy seeing your kids every day in school!
