Tutoring
TMS will be offering our after school tutoring program for middle school students. This program offers help to struggling students on a 1:1 basis from 3:15 – 4:15 p.m. Occasionally, tutoring can be arranged later in the evening at the public library for those students who cannot attend immediately after school. The cost is $11 per hour, and all money goes directly to the tutors.
Our tutors are high school students who are very strong academically. They are able to help the middle school students with homework, assist with a specific subject, or work on organization and study skills. Many students have benefitted from the help of a tutor, however, it is important to remember that tutoring is only one tool to help students who are struggling.
If you are interested in learning more about this program, please contact Mrs. Schultz at 675-7521 ext. 235.

Raptor Visitor Management System (Repeat)
In case you missed it from our August Newsletter:
The safety of our students is one of our top priorities. Raptor Visitor Management System is our new way of monitoring who is coming in and out of the school. When you enter any of our school buildings, you will be asked for a government issued ID. Every visitor will be scanned and checked against national databases and our internal checks. Before admittance into the building each visitor will be given a time sensitive sticker. We ask that you wear this sticker throughout your stay with us. I am aware that this is an additional step before entering the school. I appreciate your assistance in keeping all students safe!
EventLink (Repeat)
In case you missed it from our August Newsletter:
Eventlink is our new calendar system. These are calendars that we will use to communicate with the community about what is happening in our school. The athletic office has been utilizing this system for some time. The corporation felt that it was necessary for all calendars to be in one place. Please sign up for an account and add the calendars you would like to follow. If you need any assistance with this stop by the office! Please see this link for steps to sign up and add calendars.
