TVMS News - October 25, 2024
Greetings TVMS community,
The end of the 1st quarter is quickly approaching, with the final day of the quarter on Wednesday, October 30. We encourage you to check Canvas to ensure all assignments have been completed and submitted. This is a great opportunity for students to finish strong!
Please note -there will be no school on Thursday, October 31, as our teachers will be closing out the quarter and preparing for a strong start to the next. Please remind your student that no costumes should be worn to school at all next week and students should not bring in large amounts of candy.
On Friday, November 1, we’ll kick off the 2nd quarter with some exciting activities that include some field day activities for students during the school day, and our Fall Dance in the evening!
We would love to have parent volunteers join us. If you are interested in volunteering, please see the sign ups below. Thank you for your continued support!
Have a wonderful weekend.
Mrs. Denise Young, Principal

TVMS is participating in Terracycling this year!
Terracycling is a company that helps to recycle material that is not normally collected for collection. Through November 19, 2024, we are participating in the Takis recycling competition. Please help us by collecting your empty Takis bags and bringing them to TVMS to place in the collection box in the cafeteria during all lunch shifts. The top 3 schools will win some fabulous prizes and the top school will win a Takis celebration with a Takis truck!!! Help TVMS win by collecting your empty Takis bags and bringing them to school! Thanks!

Clothing to Cash Recycling Program!

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION/ REMINDERS
FAMILY FILE UPDATE
Update your family information for the new school year. It is mandatory that all parents/ guardians verify and/ or update emergency information for each child each school year. Updating this information provides us with the most current emergency contact information, and also ensures that you are receiving important information and updates for HCPSS and TVMS.
Log in to HCPSS Connect, select the More Options tab on the left and then select Family File in the center column.
Outside Food Expectations
Food delivery services (i.e. Door Dash, Uber Eats, etc.) are not allowed. Delivery will be refused as we do not have the capability to process this during the school day. If a parent would like to bring their child's lunch to the school, we ask that you do so prior to the start of your child's lunch shift. Parents will need to leave the lunch with our Front Office staff.
