Chromebook Distribution Fall 24/25:

Heads up! We're trying out a new system for Chromebook distribution this fall. Students must have paid at least half of their $40 chromebook insurance by August 14 to check out a Chromebook for the year. Please start saving up now for that $20 deposit. By September 30, students are required to have a total of $30 down, and by November 30, the full $40 must be completely paid. As a reminder, students on free lunch are still required to pay the full insurance fee. Thank you!

Student Fees:

Fee statements have been sent home with students on 5/10. Currently there is over $38,000 in school fees outstanding. It is extremely important that these fees are paid and brought current. Payment plans are available. Please contact the school office, 513.273.3305 to make arrangements. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Not paying this year's fees could impact your student's ability to access a Chromebook next fall.

FINAL FORMS UPDATE & REMINDER:

TSD will prompt parents in the first week of August to begin updating their child's school forms for the 2024-25 school year. We know sometimes parents begin doing this early, but it's important to wait for the prompt from the district, as some forms will be changing for next school year. The updates will be made in July, after all of the summer programs are completed. Thank you.

Lunch Accounts:

Several students have lunch balances that are in the negative. Once accounts reach a certain threshold they are rolled into student's school fees. Please use Talawanda EZ Pay to check on your student's account. You can use Talawanda EZ Pay, send a check or cash to the school office to take care of your student's balance.

Attention 6th grade families. A permission slip was brought home this week for a field trip to Butler Rural on May 20th. This is a free field trip paid for by Butler Rural. It will be an exciting day filled with lots of fun interactive activities to learn about energy. All 6th grade students and staff members will be attending the trip. Please look for the permission slip and send it back to TMS ASAP.
