Parking Lot and Traffic Safety
Traffic Flow During Pickup/Drop Off
- When picking up or dropping off students, please do NOT stop in the outer lane of the drive way. If you need to stop and wait for your student to get in or out, please pull as far up as possible and stop against the inner curb (school side).
- We must ask that all families drive safely and carefully while in the school parking lot.
Walking Student Safety
- Students should NEVER cross Jackson street except at the cross walks where they are protected by traffic signals.
- Please speak to your students if they walk to ensure they always walk to the cross walks.
Get Involved as a Parent Volunteer
Our new TJMS Parent Group is ready to get to work supporting the staff and students of TJMS. We would love for as many of you as possible to get involved when you can, how you can.
We have identified volunteer opportunity events for the school year:
TJMS Clubs Garage Sale (December 2nd)
Staff Holiday Luncheon (Date TBD)
TJMS Spring Festival (March 21)
Teacher Appreciation Week Activities (Week of May 6)
Parents are not required to be on the planning committee in order to participate/support any of the events. Participation will require current DSUSD Volunteer clearance.
If you or a friend or loved one is struggling, resources are available to help.
