NOTES FROM THE OFFICE
Mark your calendars:
The state testing window will be April 7-May 2. If you know your child has planned absences during that time, please notify Mrs. Arnos as soon as possible. Thank you!
Medical Forms:
If your student has Vanderbilt forms or other medical forms that need to be completed for evaluations, please submit those forms to the guidance office. This helps ensure that your information is kept private and is submitted in a timely manner. Thank you for your help and cooperation.
Tuesday/Thursday Help Sessions:
If your student has missed any assignments during the week, their teacher will hand them a "green slip" on Friday that shows which assignments still need to be turned in. The student will also automatically be scheduled for a help session after school the following week to finish the work. Parents will receive an email notification.
The student can either complete the work prior to the help session date, or attend the session and get help from a teacher. Better learning and higher grades begin with work completion, and we want to help.
PROGRESSBOOK:
If you want to gain more from ProgressBook and use ProgressBook to stay on top of your kids homework and assignments CHECK THIS OUT! It is a quick video on how to set up notifications for missed work and low grades.

LET'S TALK ABOUT ATTENDANCE
Dear TMS Families,
It is the time of year where we are seeing a lot of absences. Some of these can't be avoided due to illnesses that seem to surface during the winter months. We wanted to reach out with some information about the importance of student attendance and how it can have an impact on your child's school performance now and in the future. Please review the fact link and graphic below. If you have any questions or concerns about your child's attendance or an attendance letter you may have recently received, please reach out to your child's counselor, school office, or school administration.
**YOU ARE ALSO ABLE TO ORDER A YEARBOOK DURING BRAVETIME IN MS. TIMMERMAN'S ROOM (306) FOR $35!**
