Week of December 1- 5 2025
Dear Puma Families,
We’ve got a packed and exciting few weeks ahead at TDA! This week kicks off our EOC Blitz, giving students focused time during WYN to prep for Winter EOCs. Only students with a Blitz pass will be in the hallways, and homerooms are welcome to head to the library for Operation READ!
We’re also gearing up for our first-ever TDA Chorus Performance on December 2nd at 6 PM at Hammond Creek. And beginning December 1st, National Honor Society will be hosting a school-wide Food Drive through December 14th.
Winter EOCs run December 8–15, and our Math & Science Family Night + FAFSA Night is on December 9th from 6–7:30 PM, featuring hands-on activities and a mini chorus performance.
We’ll wrap the semester with our Party in the Park celebration on December 18th, recognizing students for AP scores, perfect attendance, EOC success, and 3DE achievements.
Lots of good things happening—let’s finish the semester strong, Pumas!
