Vacation!

Dear TPS Families, 

I'd like to take a minute to let you know how very honored and excited I am to be assuming the interim principal role here at TPS. I am so happy for Ace and his new position, but I will surely miss his presence every day. I want you to know that I will continue to carry out everything we have worked towards over the last 2.5 years, from planning and celebrating moments of joy, building community, and keeping the focus student-centered. As you have probably seen through my posts on Instagram, I am always looking for opportunities to celebrate our students, the work they are doing in and out of the classroom, and the footprint they are leaving on our TPS community through sports, engineering, music and the arts. I am wholeheartedly invested in TPS and I look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with you for the remainder of the school year. Please know, my door is always open! I hope you have a wonderful February break!

As we try to do, we wrapped up the week before vacation with a fun PBIS assembly! This morning, over 40 students and staff members participated in a school Castle Ball tournament! Students earned their way in by using Tommy Tickets to buy raffle tickets. Everyone had a blast. Congratulations to the TPS Castle Ball Champions: Mrs. McDonald, Nathan, Emma, Clara, and Nola!

The High School has asked me to share the following:

Mid Summer!

Image
I hope you are all having a wonderful summer! We are excited to have the kids back...just not yet. We still have some work to do. However, I wanted to put several things on your radars.  We have scheduled our annual  Popsicles on the Playground for   August 23rd from 4:00-6:00. I'm crossing my fingers and toes that the weather cooperates and we can actually have the event on the playground. I'm 0 for 2 so far in my tenure here! This event is hosted by the PTA and is an opportunity for all students to get reacclimated to the building and new students to get some nerves out and possibly make some new friends. This is also an opportunity to pick up new t-shirts. Use this link and order by August 14th to get them in time. I'd encourage everyone to consider joining the PTA team!   Updated School Supply lists can be found on our website here . Our goal is always to keep costs for  families down, however, if the list proves to be too much for you please reach out...

Just over a week to go and I wanted to get this on the top of everyone's emails! A few notes below, a link to the last communication with full details, and here is the link for 5th-8th grade music sign-ups.  Come join us on Friday for Popsicles on the Playground from 4:00-6:00! The weather just might cooperate this year! Library volunteers:  Our TPS Library volunteer crew is getting ready to open the library on the first day of school! Beginning on Day 1, children who arrive between 8:00 and 8:30 are invited to spend time in the Library checking out books, playing games, or hanging out with friends. We can't wait to see them! We are also welcoming new volunteers to our library crew! Our volunteers read to classes when they visit the library, help students check books out, and keep our library organized and beautiful. Volunteer when your child visits, or come at any other time of the day for behind-the scenes tasks. Younger siblings are welcome to join you! If you'd like to ...
