Falcon Flyer: Parent Edition
2022-2023- Last quarter (nine weeks)
Falcon Families,
This marks the beginning of our last nine weeks at TRMS. Before you know it, we'll have EOG testing, end of year awards, summer school, and our summer break!
This year has certainly gone by fast! We have some really great students at Table Rock and some great memories have been made! We appreciate your help collaborating together for their success!
If you are not already following our Table Rock Middle School Facebook page (@TRMSFalcons), I encourage you to do so. We use it for up-to-date information and announcements! Also, many teachers and grade levels use the REMIND App, too. If you have any questions, reach out to your student's homeroom teacher.
These next nine weeks will go by very fast and we have lots of events happening! Please read this entire newsletter as it is full of information and important dates.
Thank you for choosing Burke County Public Schools and for your continued support of Table Rock Middle School. Please don't hesitate reaching out if ever a need.
Sincerely,
Jeannie Jandrew, Principal
Bryn McSwain, Assistant Principal

Nurse Information
If your student needs medication here at school for asthma, allergies, headaches, cough drops, etc. -AND- you have a doctor’s order, you may check this medication into the office anytime during school hours. You will need completed paperwork with doctor’s order, parent signature, and medication in the original box with a pharmacy label if prescribed by physician.
A parent must bring the medication to the school office.
General Reminders:
When a student misses school, a written excuse signed by a parent or guardian must be presented to the student’s teacher on the day the student returns after an absence. Doctor notes are also accepted if the student had a doctor’s appointment. Parents/guardians are allowed to write up to eight of these and then only doctor notes are accepted. This does not apply to students already on medical notes for last year’s attendance concerns.
We continue to work on our attendance rates at TRMS. Thank you for helping ensure your Falcon is at school, on time, and stays until dismissal bell each and every day he/she is well and able.
