Dear TMS Community,

Today is our last day of school and it will be an early dismissal at 1:50 PM. Thank you to the TMS PTA for the Kona Ice treat for all the students today at lunch. Please see below for a reminder on today's schedule. As we conclude this school year, we want to share our gratitude to you for sharing your amazing children with us during these critical middle school years. We have loved our time learning and growing with them and appreciate all of your support. We hope that your family enjoyed this school year as much as we did and that you have a restful and super fun-filled summer.
