TJH Update #34
April 8, 2020
A Message from Dr. Mitzner
I hope the adjustments we have made at TJH over the course of the last 13 days of online learning has supported your children and your family. Thank you for all the ways you have worked with us and provided us with feedback.
I recognize we are all struggling with the new demands placed in our life and our world.
Growing up, my mom's parting greeting to me was, " Do your best!" As you work through working from home, online instruction, and a myriad of other items, please take my mom's words to heart. All any of us can do is our very best!
We have a school holiday on Friday, April 10th!! Please observe this day as a holiday!

Please review the steps attached for instructions on how to log in to the Home Access Center, and where to find your student’s current list of course requests for the 2020-2021 school year. Current 6th & 7th grade parents Counselors have made updates to the confirmed verification sheets that were turned in by Friday, March 6. However, some math teachers were unable to turn in the changes before spring break. We would love for all students to review their current verification sheets to ensure that we have made all the necessary updates. Please refer to the 6th/7th grade attachment for instructions on the virtual verification process. Current 8th grade parents Hard copies of course verification sheets were scheduled to be dispersed on Monday, March 16.
