Trexler Middle School - Promoting Excellence
The First Week of School
We had a really great week. It was nice to see many of our returning students come in with big smiles and we enjoyed welcoming our new students. Some things to remember:
- Please make sure you pay all of your fees and review and sign all the forms sent out this week.
- If you ever have any questions you can contact the teacher or consult the school website.
- To check your child's grades sign up for Parent Portal.
- Safety and security is our first priority at TMS. To ensure that we provide the safest school campus possible we conducted 4 different emergency drills last week. We did a fire drill, tornado drill, lock down drill and evacuation drill.
