1st Semester Ends!
January 24, 2020
Today is the close of the first semester. Teachers will be scoring exams and putting the finishing touches on grades over the next few days. On Monday, we will have what is likely our final homeroom of the year to pass out 2nd semester schedules. For many students, the changes will be minor and only include study hall. For students in semester courses, the changes are more noticeable with changes in teachers and rooms.
PINK colored schedules will be passed out in homerooms to start the day. For students who arrive late, schedules can be picked up in the counseling center upon their arrival. On behalf of the Thomas Faculty and Staff, thank you for your support of our program through the first 20 weeks of the school year. We are fortunate to work with so many great students and families and appreciate the opportunity!
Titan Updates....
January Students and Staff of the Month
FRESHMAN: Mayli Nitsch
SOPHOMORE: Jack Stappenbeck
Jack never skips a beat in class. He is always on task, doing his work to the best of his ability and is a great role model for others. Even when a class gets rowdy, he doesn't ever let his peers bring him down with them. His maturity is impressive.
JUNIOR: Robin Neumann
Robin hides the elf (yoda) on the shelf like no other.... Robin always has a smile and very humble. She excels but always keeps school in the right perspective. When they made up the teacher comment "is a pleasure to have in class..." they thought of Robin.
SENIOR: Sarah Rider
Sarah is a student that has a huge heart. She is constantly serving others and she volunteers her time at Emergency Care in the RCSD to help families in need with emergency childcare. She spends countless hours volunteering through various organizations and genuinely cares about changing the world for the better. She is amazing!
TEACHER: Denise Warren
Mrs. Warren constantly goes above and beyond for students and fellow staff and deserves recognition for all the work she does
