Tison Roo News 2017-18
Week of March 5th
Welcome to the Tison Middle School newsletter -- as a Tison parent, we want to ensure your involvement in your student's middle school life, and one way to do that is to keep you informed on what's going on at Tison.
This newsletter typically gets emailed to you on a weekly basis, and usually on a Friday afternoon. If you know a Tison parent who should be getting this newsletter and is not, please have him or her email Leah Greer at lgreer@weatherfordisd.com. Also, if you have any questions or concerns over any information from the newsletter, please email Mrs. Greer.
Sincerely,
Eric Sams
Tison Middle School Principal

February 2018 -- Black History Month @ Tison
At Tison, we devoted the month of February to public service announcements and displays to commemorate Black History Month. And with the recent success of the Marvel movie Black Panther, many students may not know the history of the Black Panther Party and what it meant to the African American community in the 20th century.
Below is a video from History.com & narrated by Stokely Carmicheal explaining the history of the true Black Panthers. If interested, please watch with your children as an opening for discussion.
ATTENTION: All 8th Grade Parents/Guardians
Your student's 4-Year Plan should already have been signed and turned in during the 9th Grade Roo Expo a few weeks ago. Please contact either Gwen Ward (gward@weatherfordisd.com) or Kim Brown (kibrown@weatherfordisd.com) to schedule an appointment, if you have not signed off on your student's 4-Year Plan. These are to be completed before Spring Break, so the time to act is now. We love to partner with you in creating opportunities for your student's success and send our sincere appreciation for those parents who came to the Expo.
Sincerely,
Gwen Ward & Kim Brown
ATTENTION: All 6th & 7th Grade Parents/Guardians
All course selection sheets are to be signed and turned into the office at this time, if they have not been returned. Thanks for for your cooperation. This allows us to insure that you can partner with your student on their educational choices. If you have any questions, please email Gwen Ward (gward@weatherfordisd.com) or Kim Brown (kibrown@weatherfordisd.com).
Sincerely,
Gwen Ward & Kim Brown
