Coming Communications re: next school year. After next Sunday, I don’t anticipate any Sunday messages until the middle of August. In final week of August, I will send a personalized email to each family with the name of next year’s teacher. I always withhold this information until late August to allow us time to make any changes necessary after families change plans over the summer.

School-based health clinics open over the summer

Our school-based health clinics are open to all TPS students, and they provide both standard care and sports physicals during summer clinic hours. Take a look at our website for more information, including summer clinic hours. 

Keep bus passes at home this summer. Please be sure to keep track of your child's bus pass this summer – they will need that same bus pass next year, no matter where they go to school or what their route is. Replacement: $5.
As a reminder, students receiving special education transportation do not carry a pass. However, they receive the same benefits of the pass through services provided by their bus driver.

That’s all for tonight. Good night!
