As we reach the halfway point of the 2nd quarter, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to both teachers and parents/guardians for all your hard work and dedication to our students at TMS. They have been making great strides in their learning and doing fabulous things each day, it is awesome to see!!!
With about 20 days left in the quarter, I encourage parents to check in on their students’ grades, attendance, and homework. The upcoming Thanksgiving Break and the limited time in December will make these last days of the quarter fly by. It’s crucial that our students remain engaged and keep up with their assignments as we approach the end of the quarter.
Parents please reach out to teachers if you have any concerns. Our staff is always available to help and provide feedback. Let’s work together to finish the 2nd quarter STRONG!

Social Media and Phone Concerns:
As a school community, we must prioritize the safety and well-being of our students. Recent reports have highlighted inappropriate posts targeting TMS students on social media platforms like TikTok and Snapchat.
We appreciate the proactive individuals who report these harmful comments. It's crucial for page owners to eliminate such content. Students are encouraged to block and report any harmful posts they encounter.
Our school maintains a ZERO tolerance policy toward bullying and harassment, and appropriate consequences will be assigned to those who violate this standard. Together, we can maintain a supportive environment for all students.
