Tison Roo News 2018-19
Week of January 28th
Welcome Back! I hope you all had a joyous and restful holiday.
Our motto for this school year is #TWAHCD -- "Your Thoughts become your Words, your words become your Actions, your actions become your Habits, your habits become your Character, and your character becomes your Destiny.
Please remember to check Skyward often to stay in the know about your child’s studies, assignments, and assessments. This school e-newsletter will help you stay informed on school activities, as well as other events and happenings. It is usually emailed through Skyward's Message Center and posted on Skyward Family Access.
Here’s to an AWESOME spring semester as we work together to make our school a great place to work and learn each day!
Sincerely,
Eric Sams
Tison Middle School Principal

AUDITIONS FOR JUNIOR BELLES
You still have time to order a Tison yearbook, and it's currently the lowest price of the year since the Tison Yearbook Staff is discounting the price of the book by using proceeds from the Fall Dance -- the current cost is just $35!
Order online at https://www.balfour.com/ (scan the QR code to take you to the website)
If you'd rather not order online, students can also pick up an order envelope in the front office.
