TVMS News

Greetings TVMS community,

This past week, we enjoyed our first winter music concert of the season, where our young musicians amazed us with their talent. Kudos to our incredible music department staff—Mr. Brown, Mr. Bacon, and Mr. Newberger—for their hard work and dedication in preparing our students for this performance!

We’re excited to see our upper ensembles perform this Tuesday, December 17th, at GPHS. Admission is free, so bring family and friends to enjoy an evening of music!

Thank you to the parents who volunteered for Thursday’s 7th-grade Medieval Times field trip and helped run the Den Dollar Store pop-up shop during Wednesday’s lunches. Your support makes these experiences special for our students!

As we head into the final week of 2024, we will have a regular full 5-day week. Let’s finish the year strong!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Mrs. Denise Young, Principal

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.
