Welcome to #TheTRWayForward 2021-22!
Welcome Back!
Believe it or not, it is time to think about starting a new school year at Taylor Road Middle School. The assistant principals and I have been busy getting ready for the students' return and are looking forward to a great year!
Remember to follow us on Twitter @TaylorRoadWay and @Proud_Tigers and on Facebook for updates. We will also continue our traditional Messenger newsletter, along with weekly principal emails. You can always find more information on our website.
The following is some important information to help you get your child off to a good start for the 2021 – 2022 school year.
Schedule Verification Day – Friday, August 6th (9:00 AM – Noon)
The first hour is the busiest and comes with the most traffic. Consider having your visit later in the window. Students will be directed to their homeroom to receive their daily schedule. There will also be information stations in the halls and cafeteria for numerous groups and our PTA. More information to come!
Fees
Taylor Road is accepting fee payments exclusively through the On-Line School Payments website. Lockers and agendas can be purchased in advance, and receipts will be forwarded electronically. Be ready to show your receipt to homeroom teachers for lockers. Agendas are not required to be purchased from Taylor Road – feel free to shop for your own style!
Safety
- School hours will continue to be from 8:50 – 4:05. Students will not be allowed in the building prior to 8:30 unless it is a pre-set help session with a teacher.
- We will continue to have one-way hallways and rotundas. Signs around the building indicate these directions and teachers will introduce and reinforce the expectations with students over the first days of school.
- Students will have lockers this year and so bookbags will not be allowed in hallways or classrooms.
- Schedule changes will only be considered if they meet the following criteria:
o Changes based on a student’s IEP or 504 plan.
o Changes in or out of a year-long music class.
o Changes based on incorrect level placement
for Language Arts, Math or World Language.
o If you have questions about your student’s schedule, please contact the grade-level counselor.
- We will be implementing a new process called Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) that addresses school expectations for staff and students. Please see the introductory letter from the PBIS Team (attached).
Again, I am eager to see and meet all of you. I look forward to a rewarding and productive year at Taylor Road.
I am so excited to share with your family #TheTRWayForward!
I love my job!
