Week of August 18-22, 2025

Welcome Back, TDA Families!


We are off to an incredible start to the 2025–2026 school year! Thank you to everyone who joined us for Orientation—our campus was filled with energy, laughter, and connection. With food trucks, smiling families, and strong turnout from parents, it was a fantastic way to launch the year together.

We’re already looking ahead to our Open House on Thursday, September 4 at 5:30 p.m. We hope you’ll join us to meet teachers, see student work, and learn more about the year ahead.


Our students have kicked things off on the right note—showing respect, excitement, and real engagement in their classes. This week, we’ll continue building momentum with MAP testing for 9th and 10th graders on Tuesday and a reminder to please return any beginning-of-year forms as soon as possible.


Sports are also heating up! Come cheer on our Puma athletes:

  • August 18 – Volleyball vs. Oakwood Academy, JV 5:00 / Varsity 6:00 (Away)

  • August 21 – Volleyball vs. Grace Baptist Academy (TN), 5:00 (Away)

  • August 23 – Cross Country at Ringgold, 4:30 (Ringgold High School)


It’s shaping up to be a strong year, and we’re so glad you’re on this journey with us.
