Greetings TVMS families,

Last week of school reminders

We are approaching our last week of school! Please encourage your student to check grades in Canvas, turn in any final assignments and contact their teachers via Canvas with any questions or concerns. Students who have been issued a locker will clean out their belongings on Tuesday, June 11th during their first period class. Students do not need to bring their computers to school the last three half days of school. Encourage your student to check out our lost and found area in the cafeteria if they have misplaced any jackets, lunch boxes, water bottles or any other missing items. We will be donating all clothing items at the end of the school year.
