What I Wish I Knew in Middle School
We are pleased to share that we have created a opportunity for our recently graduated female students to share their teenage wisdom with the sixth and seventh grade girls. The presentation entitled, “What would I say to my middle school self?” will include topics such as: Self Esteem, Social Media, Prioritizing Academics, and Changes in Friend Groups.
The presentation will be moderated by the TMS School Counselors and any questions that arise outside of the scope and set topics will be referred to them. This presentation will take place on Tuesday June 12th at 10:00am. If you would prefer that your daughter not attend this presentation, please contact Chris Pollet (christopher.pollet@tyngsboroughps.org), Melissa Mallous (melissa.mallous@tyngsboroughps.org) or Danielle Sementelli (danielle.sementelli@tyngsboroughps.org).

Gaming Gone Wild
One other concern we have is the very tired students who are coming in, and in some cases, this fatigue is from late night gaming (students have admitted as much). If you are looking for some strategies to control gaming in your child's life, I have found an article from a leading technology blog network, Engadget, which lays out some strategies for parents. In the article there are additional links to help parents navigate this sensitive topic with their children.

Reminder from the Health Office
Under the guidelines of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the Massachusetts Department of Education, it is the policy of the Tyngsborough Public School District that all students are required to submit a current Physical Examination report to have on file in the nurse's office prior to entry into the 7th grade. Examinations must be dated within the previous twelve months to be considered current and must include a certificate of proof of immunization. Per state requirements, proof of the following immunizations must be on file for your child (prior to entry in the 7th grade): 3 doses of Hepatitis B, 4 doses of Polio, 2 doses of MMR, 2 doses of varicella and 1 dose of Tdap (105 CMR 220 000).
If you are unsure if you have submitted a copy of a recent physical exam with proof of the required vaccinations, please contact our nurse, Michelle Riley RN at 978-649-3115 option 4.
