TVMS News

Greetings TVMS community,

As we close out the second quarter this week, here are a few important updates:

• There will be no school on Monday, January 20th, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
• Thursday, January 23rd, is the last day of the quarter. School will close 3 hours early, with a 12:15 PM dismissal.
• Students will follow a modified schedule, including club day activities to celebrate the end of the quarter. The remainder of the day will consist of shortened classes. Attendance is still important, so please encourage your child to attend and participate fully!

A round of applause to our orchestra students who participated in the String-a-Palooza concert this week at Oakland Mills High School! They performed alongside elementary, middle, and high school students in our OMHS cluster and gave an outstanding performance. Well done, Timberwolves!

Also, a huge congratulations to all the students who competed in our schoolwide Spelling Bee this week! It was a tough competition that stretched over two days. We are proud to announce our top two students: Runner-up Sam J. and Champion Akash K. Fantastic job!

Have a wonderful weekend.

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.
