TMS-E Updates

BACK TO SCHOOL August 14, 2020

Thankful for our students & their families.

On August 12, 2020, we officially kicked off a new school year! We are so ready to begin as we take on new challenges and overcome obstacles. Teaching will definitely be different! Our teachers never stop reaching for ideas and strategies and working as a team to strengthen each other. Our strength comes from the love and support we receive from our students, TMS-E Families, and our amazing PTA. Thank you!
