2024-25 Calendar At-A-Glance
We hope this Calendar-At-A-Glance is helpful for you and your family. It is a shortened version of our grid calendar. It only lists our half days and days off from school. Print out a copy or take a photo and keep it in a safe place.
Website Pop-Up
We wanted to inform you that this pop-up will appear on all of our websites until our construction is complete. We continue to rebuild world class school and district websites with you in mind, making sure everything you need is just a click away or easily searchable. You may notice activity and changes to menus and pages as we continue to work in the background on this project. Good things are coming! Look for our official launch in early 2025!
2024 Millage Renewal (Vote on Nov. 5)
The November 5 proposal has two parts:
1. RENEWAL of the 18 mill NON-HOMESTEAD operating millage.
2. RENEWAL of the HOLD HARMLESS millage.
This keeps taxes at their current operating rates for the Non-Homestead and Hold Harmless millage.
Together these generate approximately $42.5 million annually which is 22% of the school district’s operating budget. Learn more on our website at https://www.troy.k12.mi.us/about-us/millage-renewal
District Cell Phone Policy
A Reminder to our Families/Students:
In alignment with our student code of conduct and to reduce distractions in our learning community, cell phones should not be visible or in use during school hours unless approved by a teacher or administrator. Please contact the main office if you need to reach your student during school hours. If your student needs to communicate home during school hours, please have them do so from the main office. This is applicable Pre K-12 in all of our TSD buildings.
