TVMS News

Greetings TVMS families,

This past week, we celebrated our Pack Leaders of the Month, who were recognized for demonstrating the PRIDE characteristic of Excellence. Congratulations to these outstanding students for their hard work and dedication!

We’d also like to give a special shoutout to Ms. Laurie Buckland, our Special Education Instructional Team Leader, for achieving her National Board Certification! This is a remarkable accomplishment, and we are so proud of her dedication to excellence in education.

As a quick reminder, headphones should not be worn around students' necks as part of their outfit. Please encourage your child to keep them stored away for the day.

Looking ahead, this Friday, we will be holding Town Hall meetings with each grade level. We’ll take time to celebrate the successes of Quarter 2, review school expectations, and discuss the new technology policy, which will go into effect on March 3. Under this new policy, cell phones, earbuds, or headphones that are being worn will be collected. Parents will be required to pick up their child’s electronics during school hours if they are confiscated.

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.
