The Principal's Corner
I know that this is a busy time for everyone, as spring is in the air along with school events, outside family activities, and youth events. We are also continuing to teach, collaborate, and prepare for state testing during this time.
I will continue to send out information for our upcoming events and activities. I also want to share some important dates with you so you can mark them on your calendar. While many of these events are exciting, we still need students to maintain focus throughout the school day and continue learning.
If there is an event you do not see listed or have questions or concerns about, please feel free to reach out to me at aburrows@tuscumbialions.k12.mo.us.
Thank you for your continued support of our students during this busy season.
