Student Fees:

Reports have been sent home with student's current fees. Students that have outstanding fees will not be permitted to participate in extra curricular activities. It is extremely important that these fees are paid and brought current. Payment plans are available. Please contact the school office, 513.273.3305 to make arrangements. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Lunch Accounts:

Several students have lunch balances that are in the negative. Please use Talawanda EZ Pay, send a check or cash, or call the office to apply for Free Lunch if you think you qualify.

Drink Reminder

Students may only have water as a drink in the classroom. If they bring other drinks from home, they must finish them in the cafeteria before heading to class (on time).

Student Pick-up/Early Dismissal

Parents please know that when you need to pick-up your student up early from school we will check an ID, even if we know you. Please understand this is for the safety of the children. Always remember to bring your ID inside to show us.

Tuesday/Thursday Help Sessions

Teachers will be assigning after school help sessions on Tuesday and/or Thursday for any student missing assignments. Please check with your student to be sure they have turned in all of their work! If they haven't, the required help session will be an excellent time for them to get it finished.

Wrestling completed their season on Friday 2/2 with the SWOC league wrestling meet. Out of 16 weight classes, TMS had 5 league champions - Greyson Boner, Jiovanni Henegar, Dakoda Hatfield, Keegan Hanson, and Windon Lowe. Boner, Hanson, and Lowe will also be moving on to the State Meet in March.

The basketball season wrapped up on Saturday 2/3 with SWOC Tournament play. On the boys side, the 7th grade team captured the regular season title, as well as the SWOC tournament championship. The 7th grade girls finished the season as regular season league champs with a record of 16-0, and SWOC Tournament Team Runners-Up. The 8th grade girls completed a historic 2-year undefeated run of 33-0, capping the year off with a 2nd SWOC Championship. Great job to all our winter teams!

Track and Field season is right around the corner. Any 7th or 8th grade student interested in participating should pick up an information packet in the TMS office. The information has also been emailed to all students and families, and can be found HERE. All athletes MUST have a physical on file to participate, and must meet the academic requirements of passing 4 classes AND maintaining a 2.0 GPA.

This will be our last fundraiser (for the 23-24 school year) to support student field trips. Students will earn $8.50 per box sold. (each box is $22.00). All monies earned by students can only be used for school sponsored trips. There is a limit to how much a student can earn. Please read the fine print below. . . .

School fundraisers are designed to assist students wanting to travel on class trips. If a student chooses to not travel, all money raised is forfeited to the general scholarship fund. There is also a cap to how much profit a student is allowed to earn. The profit stops at 75.00 past the cost of the Washington, D.C. trip. The extra money will be donated to the general scholarship fund. For example: earn $700 and the trip cost $600 -- you keep 75 & TMS will keep 25. This rarely happens, but we can’t let you keep 100’s of dollars in profit.

All money raised from the cookie dough sale will be placed into the student’s travel account to be used for school field trips.

6th grade = Glen Helen

8th grade = Washington, D.C.

Any questions or concerns should be directed to John Brinck.

Email = brinckj@talawanda.org Cell = 513-477-9503.

REMEMBER -- This is a voluntary sale. You do not need to participate. Whatever you sell/earn is in your account. You are only helping yourself. For more details click HERE.
