TGMS Family Feedback
We are interested in what you think - click on the link below and share your feedback with us!
This year, more than ever, we know that students and families may need extra support. We strive to be as inclusive as we possibly can. However, at times, we fall short in supporting our students and families with issues and concerns that affect them, such as social justice, mental health, academic support, friendships/relationships, etc. Your voice is crucial as we begin to reflect on our work and look at what we can do better to support our students and families. Ultimately, we know that our kids succeed when families, schools, and communities work together.
Please use the spaces below to share your thoughts on what we are doing well (and should continue doing) and what we need to work on moving forward.
We will review responses on a weekly basis and provide updates and feedback to families in the Community Corner section of the Weekly Newsletter.
Ohio's State Assessment Testing
The Ohio Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Education have determined that all states and school districts will implement the end-of-year tests for spring 2022.
Schools Districts are required to give certain end-of-year assessments to students in grades 3-8 and end-of-course assessments for high school courses.
The assessments will be given during the normal hours of school. Students with accommodations per their IEP, 504 or EL plan will be provided their accommodations as stated in their plan.

A MESSAGE FROM THE SCHOOL NURSE TO ALL CURRENT 6TH GRADE STUDENTS:
Dear Parents of Current 6th grade Students:
Per the Ohio Department of Health, all 7th graders must show documentation of receiving the
T-dap and Meningococcal (MCV4) immunizations before being allowed to enter school next school year. You may take the letter (located below) with you to your doctor to use as
documentation of these vaccinations, or you may submit an immunization report
with the dates of both vaccinations. Please return this documentation as soon as possible to your child’s school nurse. If this is not provided during the 6th grade school year, you will need to send this information to the junior high that your child will attend prior to the beginning of next school year. The middle school nurses will forward on all immunization documentation received to the junior high nurses at the end of this year. Please call your child’s school nurse or our District School Health Supervisor with any questions.
Thank you.
