Did a staff member go above and beyond or help out in a time of need. We have a way for you to recognize them for being Respectful, Open-minded, Achievers, Rising Together. Click on the button below to submit a ROAR Shout-Out for a staff member you feel deserves recognition.

Wildcat Bucks (PBIS) continues to be rewarded to our students for following our ROAR expectations. The Kat Shack is open before school and students have been purchasing items or entry into our Hangout Room. This room has various interactive games that students can play with their friends during lunches. We are excited to announce that students can now order items online for students who are not able to visit the Kat Shack in the mornings. Attached is the menu of items they can purchase, to include an entry ticket to the Hangout Room. We will be updating our merchandise periodically.

Lastly, we would love to partner with any community members or businesses to support our Kat Shack. We are also in need of one school approved volunteer to help us fulfill online orders each Thursday. Please email Ms. Andressa Santos-Mira at amira@pasco.k12.fl.us if you would more information as to how you can support this student incentive program.

Some of our students asked if they could be a part of our Theme Thursday Shirt Day that teachers participate in here at TEWMS. This is not a dress up day but a day to wear a t-shirt that goes with a theme. Below is the Theme Thursday's shirt for February, if your student would like to join in. This is not required, it's just for fun!
