TVMS News

Greetings TVMS community,

This past Wednesday, we celebrated our amazing students who earned Pack Leader of the Month for showing outstanding personal responsibility! For October, we are excited to recognize students who demonstrate respect.

Next week, from Monday through Wednesday, students will be taking their Math MAP tests during their math classes. Please ensure they come prepared with their Chromebooks fully charged.

Friday is our rescheduled event for 6th graders. They will participate in the 6th grade Mash Up team building activity day which is sure to be a fun day. We are also looking for parent volunteers for the day of the event. If you are interested in volunteering, please click the link.

Thank you for your continued support!

Mrs. Denise Young, Principal

Our large white collection bin is at the edge of the school parking lot nearest Hanover Hills Elementary School. Please help us fill our bin with as many plastic bags of new or gently used clothing, shoes and other textiles. Our school will earn money for every pound we collect.

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.

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.
