A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Greetings, Titan families! It’s so hard to believe that it’s February already and that we are already almost half-way through quarter 3! Where has time gone! Spring break is right around the corner but there is still much to do in the classroom before we get to that point. Parent-teacher conferences are quickly approaching, and we would love to see you there! These will be an unscheduled time for you to stop by and visit with your student’s teachers to chat about the progress your child is making.

Parent-Teacher Conferences, Monday, February 19:

1st Session of Conferences 10:30am – 1:00pm

Finally, some exciting news for our next year’s TMS 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students! TMS will be offering some new courses next year as we are expanding our offerings on campus! As we build the master schedule next year, we are looking for ways to include more courses that offer options for our students to earn high school credit while still in middle school: Algebra, Geometry, English I, Alaska History, Health, Biology, and PE are all courses that we are looking to include; as well as ways to expand our advanced classes to include Advanced Science 6 and Advanced Science 7. All courses are being considered as we look ahead to next year and match course offerings with staffing.

If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback for us, please contact us at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,

Principal Karla Head
