Weekly RAM Newsletter
A Brief Note from Dr. Burke
Dear Ram families,
I will begin with a shout out to the TPMS volleyball team. I want to congratulate them on their first victory last Thursday. They defeated Black Mountain Middle School two sets to one. We have a home game on Thursday, December 19th at 4pm so feel free to cheer them on.
Progress reports will be sent home with students this Thursday and the Winter Dance is coming up on Friday! Tickets are still on sale for $8 so get your tickets soon! Tickets will not be available on Friday, so plan ahead.
For our 8th grade families, yearbook ads are on sale now for only $25! Order forms are available at the front office desk, Room 405, Room 109, or online at www.tpmsyearbook.weebly.com. Please return the completed form and payment to the office by December 20th.
I will close with a reminder to those of you who intend to seek an intradistrict transfer for next school year. The district is holding firm to its March 31st deadline. I have included more information below, along with a link to the appropriate forms. Please make this a priority.
That’s it for now. I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow and remember, it’s a 3/5/1 day.
Sincerely,
Dr. Burke

Important Transfer Information
If you live in the Poway Unified School District boundaries and are interested in requesting a transfer to a school that is not your school of residence, you must submit a request during the transfer window of February 1 – March 31, 2020. No transfer requests will be accepted outside of this window, and no exceptions will be made. Note: if your student is currently on an Intradistrict Transfer and is moving to the next level (elementary to middle or middle to high school), he/she does not automatically move to the next school with their classmates. You must reapply for an Intradistrict Transfer. If your child is currently on an Intradistrict Transfer, his/her siblings do not automatically attend the transfer school as well. You must apply for a separate Transfer for the sibling. Please click the link below for more information and frequently asked questions on transfer requests, as well as upcoming timelines for continuing student registration and new student enrollment. https://powayusd.com/en-US/Departments/Attendance-Discipline/Student-Transfer-Requests/FAQs-for-Residency-Transfers
