Message from Mr. Beierman
Dear Twin Bluff Families,
We are off to an amazing start to the school year! The energy in our building has been positive, and students are settling into routines while working hard in and out of the classroom. Our core values of being Safe, Kind, and Responsible have been talked about, modeled, and celebrated school-wide. We are proud of how well our students are already demonstrating these expectations each day.
October is a busy and exciting month at Twin Bluff, filled with opportunities for students to learn, connect, and thrive:
Leaders Dance

This monthly celebration honors students who have all of their assignments turned in! Qualifying students will get to pick fun, positive activities to participate in near the end of the school day.
Students who are still missing work will be given dedicated time and support to work directly with teachers to get their assignments completed and turned in.
- We are so proud of how this year has begun and are excited for all that’s ahead. Thank you for your ongoing support in helping our students grow, succeed, and thrive here at Twin Bluff Middle School!

Vision screenings for 5th and 7th grade are scheduled for October 28th and 29th. If you have concerns in regards to your student's vision and hearing, please contact the nurse and request a screening.
All incoming 7th graders needed to have a TDAP booster and a Meningococcal immunization or a Conscientious Objection on file in the Health Office prior to the start of the school year. Any 7th grader that does not have these immunizations at the start of the school year are considered out of compliance. Please bring paperwork to the school nurse showing proof of these immunizations or a notarized Conscientious Objection by October 1st.
Any student that will be taking prescription medications at school will need an Authorization to Administer Medication form signed by a parent and a provider. Medication is required to be in the original container with the most recent prescription label. Medical Conditions such as Asthma, Seizures, Diabetes, Etc will need an action plan from the student's provider as well. Any student that is found to have a medication that is not pre-approved by the nurse will have medication confiscated and parents will be called. This includes over the counter medications as well.
The Health Office always accepts donations such as period products and deodorant. We are also in need of the following:
- Girls pants (size youth small and medium)
- Girls socks & underwear
- Boys pants (youth small and medium)
- Boys socks & underwear (youth small and medium and adult medium and large)
- Sweatshirts/t-shirts of all sizes
- Sneakers of all sizes.
Please review our expectations and procedures. This handbook covers a lot of questions you may have and is a very helpful resource.
No parking or drop off during busing times!
We have new signs that are now in place reminding all drivers that the bus loop is ONLY for buses each morning during drop off's (8:15 - 9:15 am) and each afternoon during pick up's (3:15 - 4:15 pm).
New signs at the bus loop entrance reminds drivers that this is a "One Way" and only bus traffic each morning and afternoon as well.
Please help us keep students safe by following the expectations.
