Weekly Message
Next week is a crazy week schedule-wise, please be sure to read the message below!
October 10th is the end of the 1st nine weeks. Students and parents, please check you grades and make those last ditch efforts to ensure your grade in representative of the work you've put in! Official 9-week report cards will be available by next Monday.
A quick reminder that next Wednesday, October 11th is parent-teacher conference night. Students are not in session. If you would like to schedule a parent-teacher conference, please reach out to teachers to set that up. The hours will be noon-7pm to allow for some flexibility around work schedules.
October 12th is our PSAT day. Freshmen through juniors will take the PSAT in the morning, and then go to shortened class periods in the afternoon. Seniors have other option, and more information can be found in the Google Classroom.
Because of students being out on Wednesday, we will not have a silver day schedule. Monday and Thursday will be BLUE days; Tuesday and Friday will be WHITE days!
We appreciate everyone's flexibility next week!
Have a great weekend!

October 11th: Parent Teacher Conference Night
High school teachers may send you an email or make a phone call requesting a conference with guardians based on a student's grades or performance in class.
Guardians may also call or email to request a time to meet. A staff directory can be found here.
Please note: If your student is struggling, the best way we can move them forward is partnering the work we do at school with the work you do at home.
Please take advantage of this opportunity! Our staff is looking forward to working with parents/guardians to make sure all students are successful at Tipton High School.
Lunch Accounts
We are urging parents to check on their students' accounts and send money for accounts that are in the negative.
Within the next week, the corporation will begin enforcing our negative balance policy; which means all students with -$20.00 or more will receive an alternative lunch.
Accounts may be paid by students with cash or check, or you may also add money in Powerschool through Efunds. If you have questions, please call the high school main office.
Picture Retakes on Tuesday!
Discount Cards for Sale: Support the Junior Class!
Discount cards are being sold by junior class parents to raise money for After Prom. Cards are $20 and there are 24 local businesses represented. If anyone is interested in purchasing a card, please stop by the high school office to pick one up or contact a junior class parent.
October 12th: PSAT Day!
This is a day that we hope all students will get a good night's sleep, will have breakfast in the morning, and will be prepared to do their best on the test!
The schedule for the day can be found here.
Attention Seniors!
You will not take the PSAT, and will have several options to choose from. Please click here to explore the options and pick your preference.
