Weekly Update 9/30/2018
TMS Spirit
The picture above was designed and created by our Student Learning Coach, Mrs. Lauren Salsinger. It is a great representation of the growth mindset we have here at Thomas. As learners with a growth mindset, we ask questions, we self-assess, we give and receive feedback, we plan and document, and we reflect.
This past week we hit the midterm point in quarter 1. I think it is a great idea to talk with your child about how things are going and sit down with your child and look at PowerSchool to view the current grades. Remember the goal is growth!
We have multiples supports to offer students here at Thomas. For 6th and 7th grade there is after school homework club or the 11th hour after school. For 8th grade, there is something similar, but we often refer to it as office hours before or after school. If your child needs to stay after school and work in a specific subject area please have them check with their classroom teacher. If that teacher is not available to stay they can always find an 11th hour that is available. For more information please contact the team leader, myself, Lori, or Andrea.
This week Hersey and Buffalo Grove High Schools are both celebrating their homecoming week. To stay in the spirit of community we are also going to celebrate with our own little spin. Please click on this link to see how your child can participate in the FUN of homecoming week as a middle schooler!
