Husky Happenings
February 25- March 2
From Mr. Martin
I would like to share the prep work for a couple of new students that started in gr 7 this week. First, we are successful because we plan. We take our time and have everything ready to go. No surprises. Second, both students were given a tour and had a locker assigned. Third, and most important, they were introduced to one of our awesome students to help them manage the first day. I always think placing students in a position of leading is a good experience for all. Just as an fyi: I checked on both students first period, lunch and the end of the day. Day 1 was good. TRMS is a good school and does look out for the well being of all our students.
Please note we are updating 4th quarter dates to mark your calendar.

MINDSET MOMENT: We don’t grow when things are easy. We grow when we face challenges.
From Nurse Rhea:
As a reminder, USD 231 follows all Johnson County Health and Environment Disease and Symptom Exclusion Recommendations. For physician diagnosed cases of influenza we will exclude the student for 7 days following the onset of illness. This will be followed for ALL DIAGNOSED cases. If there is a doctors note allowing the student to return earlier than the seven day timeline, and if Tamiflu or other similar medication was taken, the student will still be excluded for the entirety of the seven day timeline. Please call the office to let the attendance secretary know your student was diagnosed and will be absent, and send in documentation of the diagnosis as soon as possible. These absences will be excused for illness. Thank you for understanding our attempts to keep our schools as healthy as possible!
If you are the parent of a current 6th grade student, please remember that the Tdap vaccine is required for entry into the 7th grade. Documentation of this vaccine can be sent in at any time and will alleviate some of the stress of starting a new school year in the Fall.
