Update from the Superintendent
We have had several questions about resuming activities for the school system and upcoming events. In a recent meeting with the State Department of Education, we were advised to keep the schools locked and vacant through May. We know there will be an extension or modification to the Governor’s “Safer at Home” order by May 15. We are waiting to see what the next phase is before we give potential dates for senior activities, summer school and summer activities.
We will update as we learn additional information next week.
I’m so proud of our school community for working well together during this unexpected crisis. I miss seeing everyone so much and I hope everyone stays home and stays healthy. Thank you for your patience during this time of uncertainty.
Sincerely,
Dr. Neill

TCS will begin processing refund checks for field trips that were cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Refund checks will be mailed with report cards at the conclusion of the 2019-20 school year.
Here’s the plan: If you paid for a field trip that was cancelled, your field trip refund check will be mailed in your child’s report card envelope after May 22, 2020.
HTMS and HTHS Band Directors will communicate with band parents when refunds for spring trips are finalized.
