July 2025

Hello TPS Community,

I do hope you and your family are finding time to enjoy the month of July. What a gift this month has been – filled with glorious sunshine, perfect beach weather, and even that magical rainbow that graced our skies last evening. These are the moments that make summer truly special.

Behind the scenes, our dedicated TPS Central Office team and District Leadership team are enthusiastically wrapping up an incredible 2024-2025 school year, while thoughtfully preparing for the exciting adventures that await in 2025-2026. I know what you're thinking – with over five wonderful weeks of summer break still ahead, why are we already talking about school? It's simply because we care so much about making your transition back as smooth as possible. We want to ensure you have all the information, resources, and support you need well in advance.

Our summer programming has been absolutely heartwarming to witness as well! The laughter and learning happening through our summer school and enrichment opportunities have created such wonderful connections between students and staff. Every day, we are treated to the happy sounds of children and educators engaging and playing right outside our central office windows – it fills our hearts and reminds us why we love what we do. Be sure to check out the wonderful video of our EPIC Engineering Camp on our Facebook page and linked below – it perfectly captures some of the magic happening this summer!

You'll also find the helpful links with information regarding back to school and related transition events. Whether you have questions for your child's school or our District Office, we're here to help and support you in any way we can.

Wishing you continued summer joy!

Parent Resources

The Office of Student and Family Support developed a comprehensive website designed to provide a wide range of resources aimed at supporting student and their families.

In addition, the Massachusetts Partnership for Youth (MPY) has curated an outstanding resource library offering valuable tools and information to families at no cost. These resources cover topics such as mental health, wellness, and more. We encourage you to visit both sites to explore the support and information available to help your family thrive!
