Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year!
I would like to start by saying “Thank You” to all the parents, guardians, and students for making the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year great! These first few days have been incredibly smooth for the start of a new school year. I hope everyone else has the same feelings. In order to make this school year the best it can be, it will take all of us working together to accomplish our goals. Tuscumbia City Schools has set a goal to make an “A” on the state report card. In order to do this, we must continue to grow academically and reduce absenteeism. As a faculty, we have put in place a few measures to target our academic growth. We ask that you discuss with your child the importance of putting forth the effort required to accomplish the results we all desire. We also ask that you make attendance a priority for your child. When a student is absent from school, they can never truly get back that time they missed in the classroom. Please try to have your child at school each and every day.
This school year, Tuscumbia City Schools has a new handbook that covers all four schools. Please take the time to review the handbook with your student. Some of the changes in the handbook pertain to attendance and exam exemption. We urge you to pay close attention to those sections. Please remind your child that cell phones should not be used or be visible while in the school building.
The beginning of the year brings many events in the community. I look forward to seeing everyone at the various school events that are about to begin! It is an honor to serve your children and Tuscumbia City Schools.
