Our yearbook is currently in production! If we do not currently have a portrait of your Talley student, we would LOVE to include a picture on our student pages. If you would like to send us a portrait image, please email Mrs. Stiefel and Miss Milionis. If you do not have one, we can take one for you! Just let us know you are interested! Pictures are due to us by Friday, April 18th.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Stiefel and/or Miss Milionis.

See below for a community opportunity.

Below: Talley had two student teams participate in the State-wide bridge building competition. Congratulations to Owen and James Khan, who won first place with their impressive bridge.

Below: 7th grade AVID works to build relational capacity while also getting some fresh air after testing all day!

This opportunity is meant to provide time for students to make up missing assignments, re-take assignments (including tests, quizzes, etc.), and get extra practice/help as assigned by their teachers. Parents/guardians see below for how to register you child as well as what expectations we have during this time for those attending. Students will be reminded via Schoology message each day if they were signed up for tutoring and where that will take place.
