Registration Update
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Tyngsborough Public Schools is excited to announce PowerSchool Registration, a new online platform for the yearly update of parent and student data including phone numbers, email addresses, emergency contacts, and medical information. This process replaces the paper form that is typically sent home at the beginning of each school year.
In an effort to ensure a smooth rollout, we are first launching the platform for parents and guardians of students at the high school and middle school.
You will soon be receiving an email from powerschool@tyngsboroughps.org with instructions and a link to start the process via the PowerSchool Parent Portal. If you do not yet have a Parent Portal account, please check your mailbox for a letter sent home early last week which includes instructions for getting your account configured. If your child is entering TMS as a 6th grader this year, please note that the instructions were sent home with them on orientation day.
If you have any questions or run into any issues, please send an email to parentportal@tyngsboroughps.org.

Washington DC Information 8th Grade
Hello 8th Grade Parents and Guardians,
EF Explore America, who plans our 8th grade Washington DC trip, has prepared a new flyer for those interested in having their current 8th grader take the April 2018 trip -dates April 9th-13th. The flyer attached below outlines how much monthly payments are if you have not yet enrolled but do so in the month of September. Monthly payments increase if you enroll after September.
The overall cost of the tour is $885. However, that sum can decrease with increased enrollment
If we have 110-119 students enroll, the cost is $885 per student.
If we have 120-129 students enroll, the cost is $865 per student.
If we have 130-139 students enroll, the cost is $845 per students.
We need families to sign up by December 20, 2017. EF Explore America needs time to book hotel rooms, tours, dinners and tickets in advance. We are only one of many school groups who visit Washington, D.C. in the spring. Arrangements for a group of 130 must be completed well in advance of the trip. We currently have around 55 students enrolled, but we typically reach 120, so we expect many will be signing up, and we would like you to do so as soon as possible.
Please note that this year all students who will be travelling to Washington need to agree to and sign our school travel policy on points of attendance, discipline and academics. The travel agreement is HERE! Please read over, print out, sign and give to either Mr. Maslanka or the office.
