MAVERICKS OF THE WEEK
The video above describes the students for this week and why they are being recognized. The students will also be recognized on the morning announcements. Additionally, each of the students recognized as Mavericks of the Week will receive a coupon for a free slice of pizza from SOLO PIZZA.
YEARBOOK SUBMISSIONS
We still have several students that have not yet submitted a picture for the yearbook. Please submit your photos so that you can be a part of this year's book of memories.
MAP INFORMATION
These assessments are nationally normed and provide us with a great deal of information regarding your child's placement, instruction, and support. Below is a PDF with more detailed information about the assessment.
Please contact Mr. J. Guinther at 571-252-2030 if you have any questions.
FOUR DAY HYBRID INSTRUCTION
To help facilitate the change, April 16, 2021 will now become an asynchronous day for students and staff.
In Dr. Ziegler's original email he has a short video. Here is the LINK to his video and a second LINK to the FAQ document.
Additionally, the increased number of students will require us to have more than one lunch shift. The schedule for all of the classes will remain the same, but there will be additional lunch shifts added into blocks 3 and 7. A copy of this new schedule will be sent to parents, students and staff before April 20.
If you have any questions related to your child's status as a DL or Hybrid student, please contact me directly.
EIGHTH GRADE CELEBRATION!
We will be having a "Drive-Though" celebration for our 8th grade students on Thursday, June 17, 2021. We will be celebrating our 8th grade students as they leave us and continue their educational journey at THS.
What we need from parents is a choice of what two hour window we will use to hold the event. Please choose one of the time slots available below for the event to take place. We will announce the results by the end of the month.
