TVM Weekly Announcements

In enhancement during 6th period this Wednesday, teachers will host a backpack cleanout event. This is to ensure we reduce backpack weight and get rid of unnecessary items from Semester 1 (old workbooks, completed and graded assignments, old library books, etc.)

Interested in chaperoning a small group of 8th graders as we visit BGHS? Please let Chris Jones (Jones.Chris@battlegroundps.org) know, and be sure you are cleared as a volunteer through the district screening process. Click here for more information.

Stayed tuned 8th graders and families! Here is what is around the bend:

• Monday, 3/4: Pre Forecasting Lessons in Science Classes (students will learn about course offerings and requirements, select classes they plan to take, and generate questions for 9th grade tours.
