Marking Period 6
It is difficult to express how quickly the year has passed. Together we have, both, achieved success and overcome challenges. Thank you for sharing your students with us and letting us be part of their road to graduation. We recognize everyone's path to graduation is different and we are here to support and guide that path. Congratulations to the class of 2022 and we look forward to the future classes' success next year.
Thank you, again, for your support this year. You are a critical piece of our success.
Sincerely,
Shelby Balser
Proud Principal
Tivy High School

Students who have not met their additional instructional time this school year could be required to attend summer school.

Social Media, Support & P3 Campus Reporting
The campus is working through the latest series of social media challenges and situations.
We continue to discuss with students the impact of social media/technology and the digital resume we are building with each post, comment, video, etc. There are many positive powerful uses for social media and technology to connect people, information, and ideas. We encourage students to focus on the positive impacts they make on the world around them. Please partner with us to encourage this message and monitor your student's use of technology.
Additionally, both students and parents have access to our P3 campus system for reporting concerns anonymously. Our safety motto is "If you see something, say something."; we are here to help.
