Picking Up Students - Reminder for Contacts to be Updated
This is a friendly reminder to make sure that anyone who is picking up your child is listed in PS! Thank you!
TCSC Attendance Policy - Suggestions for Success
That being said, we did want to make sure that all families know about these changes and ways that TMS and families could be sure to partner together for success.
1. Please continue to let us know when your child is out due to illness or appointment. If your child has thrown up due to illness, please wait 24 hours before they return, and please make sure they are fever-free (100 degrees+) for 24 hours before they return.
2. Once a child has been absent for 5 days, the TMS office will call out to families to ask how we can help support a student's unique situation. Our goal with these calls is always simple to be proactive in helping our students get to school, and empathetic of unique life circumstances that negatively impact attendance!
iReady Diagnostic Testing - Tuesday and Thursday
As a result, students will be testing on Tuesday and Thursday of next week from 8-10. For our families, the day will feel "normal," but students will report directly to their homerooms and complete their diagnostic testing, with Math on Tuesday and Reading on Thursday.
Teachers will remind students of this on Monday, but please encourage your child to bring corded headphones with them on Tuesday and Thursday, and a book to read when they finish testing. Thank you, and if you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out!
