A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL:
Additionally, thank you for helping us to comply with the Tri-County Health Department mask mandate. Unfortunately, we went through our supply of masks very quickly. Students need to bring their own mask to school. We are unable to continue to provide masks to students daily. There are limited KN-95s available for students who occasionally forget their masks. We appreciate your cooperation with this matter.
RESCHEDULED! RETAKE PICTURE DAY 9/27/21
A MESSAGE FROM TRHS SECURITY: STUDENT DROP OFF & PICK UP
Using this restricted area as a pick-up/drop-off point encourages students to cross an already extremely busy roadway and poses a safety hazard for both students and drivers.

THIS WEEK IN ADVISEMENT CLASS...
FRESHMEN: Freshmen reviewed how to submit assignments on Canvas. We discussed how to submit classwork using various formats; including PDFs, URLs, video and voice recordings, and the use of text boxes. An advisement assignment was submitted for practice. Our students also engaged in team-building activities with their advisement teacher.
SOPHOMORES: This week students continued to meet with their Advisement teacher regarding their Goal. The students were also introduced to their Timeline Assignment. This assignment will help them break down their project into manageable parts.
JUNIORS: Students who had trouble logging on to Naviance last week received help from the counselors. They continued to explore career clusters.
SENIORS: Reviewed Senior Project Canvas course. Showed students where resources for topic selection are located within Canvas. Students should begin conducting preliminary research on possible Senior Project topic ideas.
WHAT THE TECH?

FIELD DAY T-SHIRTS DOUBLE BILLING:
There was an accidental double billing to families that have already paid for the Field Day T-shirt.
This duplicate fee has been removed.
If a duplicate fee is still present, please email SDowling1@dcsdk12.org.
If you paid twice for the Field Day t-shirt, you will be refunded the $15 to the form of payment used. It may take 5-7 days to show in your account. If you paid through ACH it will take about 10-14 days to reflect in your account. The different refund times are due to the billing platform and banking requirements.

If you purchased an activity pass and your student does not have the printed sticker on their ID card, please have them come to the Athletics or Finance window (by the office) to get a sticker added to their ID.
