TMS Families,
We made it. This is the final week of the school year! As a reminder, all TMS students will be dismissed at 10:30 on Wednesday morning, our last day of school. Thank you to our students and staff for another fantastic year at TMS!
Report Cards / Summer School - Fourth quarter report cards should be accessible in the portfolio section of Skyward by 3pm on Wed., May 20th. Any students who finish the school year with two or more Fs on their year end average (not quarterly grades) will be expected to attend summer school beginning July 29th. An email will be sent out at a later date to notify you of this requirement and discuss transportation. Summer school runs from 8am-11am.
8th Grade Celebration at the Park - This year’s end of the year 8th grade celebration will be at the Tri-Township Park in Troy. Students and teachers will be boarding buses around 9am tomorrow, May 20th to head to the park. We will return around 1:15pm after a fun day of food, games, and fishing (for those who want to bring fishing gear). Please encourage your child to bring and wear sunscreen and dress accordingly. If you need to sign your 8th grader out early, please come to the park by 1:00pm. If, for some reason, you do not want your child to attend the 8th grade celebration day at the park, please contact the main office by 8:30am tomorrow (Monday)!
