Timberwolf Success Program
The MTMS Timberwolf Success Program provides students additional opportunities and supports to gain executive functioning skills necessary for school success. It also provides additional time for students to work with MTMS teachers on classroom concepts that they need additional help with understanding. It is made possible by a grant from the USD232 Education Foundation.
The program is available at the school each Tuesday and Wednesday from 3:10pm-4:30pm on days when school is in session. Students will need to report to the Media Center by 3:10pm with assignments/projects to work on and a charged computer.
Students who choose to stay should communicate with their teachers and parents regarding their interest and transportation plan. Teachers may extend invitations to students as well.
Masks are part of being School Ready
We appreciate your support in ensuring your child is ready for the school day: MacBook charged, paper, binders, notebooks, pencils, pens, any other items a teacher has required, and masks.
We look forward to a successful 2nd semester.
Have a safe and healthy extended weekend
