A Message from Our Assistant Principal
It is hard to believe that fall is amongst us, and the first nine weeks of school is nearing its end. October 6th is the last day of the first nine weeks, so we are encouraging you to sit down with your student and come up with a plan to finish the nine weeks strong. You have access to what each teacher is doing in class daily via the Deshler Middle School website. As our students progress through middle school, we hope to see them advocate for themselves with guidance and take ownership of their learning. However, in this moment they need their village more than ever to assist with learning to create a habit of making self-advocacy, self-awareness, and taking ownership of their learning a part of their daily walk-through life.
Reminders:
- If a student is absent, they must turn in their excuse within 3 days of the missed day. After 3 days, the absence will be marked as an unexcused absence. Also, please make sure that excuses have your student’s first and last name on the excuse to that it can be properly documented. The attendance policies are Tuscumbia City Schools Board Policy.
- There has been an influx of parents calling or sending notes for someone to pick up/check out their child that is not listed in PowerSchool. This information needs to be updated in Power School by October 6th. Any adult coming to pick up a child will be to bring their license or government issued identification card. For more questions or to make changed contact Rachel Hollingsworth at 256-389-2920 or rhollingsworth@tuscumbia.k12.al.us .
At Deshler Middle School we provide an open line of communication for any questions or
concerns that may arise throughout the school year. We value you and your input, and it takes all stakeholders to work together to ensure our students have a successful year.
Thank you for trusting Deshler Middle School with your student and GOOOOO TIGERS!!
