TVMS News

Greetings TVMS community,

This week, our students were excited to spend their Den Dollars at the Den Dollar Pop-Up Shop during lunch on Wednesday. Students have been earning Den Dollars by demonstrating TVMS PRIDE, and it was wonderful to see them rewarded with some fun treats!

Today, our 6th graders had a great time during their Mash-Up Activity Day, engaging in various team-building activities that encouraged collaboration and communication. It was a fantastic day of bonding and fun!

We’d like to extend a special thanks to the parents who volunteered to support both the Den Dollar Pop-Up Shop and Mash-Up Activity Day. Your support helps to make these events possible!

Upcoming PTSA Meeting and Parent Support Session
Mark your calendars for our next PTSA meeting coming up next week! We’ll be sharing the exciting events planned for the year and discussing opportunities for parents to volunteer and get involved.
After the meeting, we’re offering a special support session to help families navigate Canvas and view their child's grades. Our staff will be available to walk you through setting up notifications and alerts.
Don’t forget to bring your smartphone or laptop to get set up!

We look forward to seeing you there and appreciate your continued support. Have a wonderful weekend.

Mrs. Denise Young, Principal

Update your family information for the new school year. It is mandatory that all parents/ guardians verify and/ or update emergency information for each child each school year. Updating this information provides us with the most current emergency contact information, and also ensures that you are receiving important information and updates for HCPSS and TVMS.

Log in to HCPSS Connect, select the More Options tab on the left and then select Family File in the center column.

Food delivery services (i.e. Door Dash, Uber Eats, etc.) are not allowed. Delivery will be refused as we do not have the capability to process this during the school day. If a parent would like to bring their child's lunch to the school, we ask that you do so prior to the start of your child's lunch shift. Parents will need to leave the lunch with our Front Office staff.
