Curriculum Night tonight!
Third week almost complete. Carpool seems to be settling (a little :-)) and kids are getting to class on time (mostly :-)) Again - there are still great things happening at Taylor Road!
Thanks to those who will be with us at TONIGHT'S virtual Curriculum Night. Join us 'live' online beginning at 6 PM. Links below:
6:00 - 6:30: General Session: Hear from Mr. Parker; Ask Questions; Meet the Administrative Team; Meet the Counselors: Meet the Academic Support Team; PTA Information
After 6:30, follow your student's schedule (You can get that from the Parent Portal in Infinite Campus.) Our teachers are looking forward to having the chance to speak to you and share a little about their classes.
You will use the document, TRMS Virtual Curriculum Night Meeting Links, to visit each class. Click on the correct teacher's name each period to join the meeting.
You will have 1 minute between classes to LEAVE one meeting and JOIN the next one.
You can view a syllabus for each course offered at TRMS on our website. These will be available all year.
We greatly appreciate your support as we reinforce our PBIS process and expectations. We anticipate that the PBIS process will greatly enforce our efforts toward supporting an environment that is focused on student learning success in a structured environment.
During these past three weeks of PBIS, students have been learning about expectations for behavior in all areas of the building to support their learning success. The expectations are built around three ideas: be proactive, be respectful and be responsible. I include the graphic and details again below.
This week's learning: Beethoven, Independent Man
Beethoven, Independent Man is a collection of eight illustrated biographical stories weaving together the story of the composer’s life and music. The site includes a “Search and Discover” section where students can find out more about Beethoven.
Thank you for sharing your family with us.
Remember to follow us on Twitter @TaylorRoadWay and @Proud_Tigers and on Facebook for updates. We will also continue our traditional Messenger newsletter, along with weekly principal emails. You can always find more information on our website.
I love my job!

Join the PTA Now!
Hello Parents and Staff,
PTA Membership is now open! Go to the Store and Forms tab in Membership Toolkit, and then to the Membership Store!
Why join PTA? We'll tell you . . .
🎉 PTA Membership and dues support your child/students by funding essential educational and curriculum needs, advocating on behalf of children and educators at the local, state, and national levels, and building an inclusive school community for all families. We invite you to join the TRMS PTA for your child because increasing our membership—even by one—makes it possible to provide important educational resources, speak up on important issues, and create a stronger school community . . . and a rather FUN school community too! Take a look at a few of the PTA highlights from just last year! 🎉
Parents, we ask that you join at least at the Silver Level if you are able to because that amount is how much our activities, events, and sponsorship costs per student per year.

💡 Also, we know that the organizations that are able to flex and pivot are those that remain valuable to their members. Especially now, we'd love YOUR ideas for how to best enrich this school year for all of our stakeholders. If an older or younger child's PTA or a neighbor's or colleague's school PTA is doing something really neat and new, please share this with us. We always want YOU to have a role in shaping your PTA! Please email our President, Ed Keichour, with any ideas or questions (trsmptapresident@gmail.com). 💡
Please log into Membership Toolkit, go to the Membership Store, and join us as Members and partners for the 2021-2022 School Year!

Your TRMS PTA 🐯💚
