Husky Happenings
May 13 - 17
From Mr. Martin
I want to remind you what an awesome school your child attends. On Friday, we had staff and students go home very tired. Our Spring Fling was a success and a day of fun. The commitment to providing this event from the TRMS staff is admirable. Job well done!
Positives at TRMS:
--A student volunteered to pair up in FACS class because there was a student that did not have a partner. It takes a lot of character to leave your friends because someone else needed a partner. This character trait will make this student a better human being.
--Another parent stepped up and offered a ticket to WOF (Worlds of Fun). He simply did not want another student to miss out on an opportunity.
Be mindful of traffic and kids walking to school. All I can stress is patience. Everytime I get a close call and/or a crosswalk issue, it always begins with someone in a hurry. It takes time to get 750 students from home and into our building. Be patient!
MINDSET MOMENT: It always seems impossible until it is done.

IMPORTANT DATES FOR 2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR
August 20, 2019 6:30-8:30 Back to School Night
Important News from the Cafeteria
Per district policy, meal charging (meaning meal purchases without sufficient funds) will be prohibited on any student account beginning May 13, 2019, for the remainder of the school year. This means that students with insufficient funds may be offered a no-charge courtesy meal at lunch but will not be permitted to make any purchase that will cause their account to fall below zero. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to monitor their student’s account balance in Skyward Family Access to ensure that adequate funds are available.
Payments may continue to submitted by check or cash at your student’s school or online with credit or debit card for a nominal fee through Skyward Family Access or the district’s RevTrak link.
Once an account reaches less than $10, daily email reminders are sent to the address on file in your student’s record. If you are not receiving notifications, please check your spam folder and/or contact your child’s school to ensure your email address is correct.
If you have any questions or need assistance with your student’s lunch account, please contact our office at 913-856-2055. Thank you for your cooperation!
From Nurse Rhea:
End of the Year Reminders:
If your student self carries their inhalers/epi pens, please make certain that they bring them on their field trip on May 17.
The health room will remain open until 3:30 on the last day of school. Any medications that are remaining in the health room will be disposed of at this time. Please make arrangements to pick your students medications up, or to have someone on their emergency contact list pick them up, prior to this time. If you are unsure who is on your emergency contact list you can find the list in Skyward or feel free to call our office and ask.
The lost and found table is full. Feel free to come by and look for your lost items. We will donate all items to Joy’s Closet the day after school is out.
ATTENTION 8TH GRADE PARENTS ~ Attention all students wanting to take Driver's Education: Time is running out to sign up for Driver's Education class. There are a few afternoon spots available.
