Greetings TVMS families,

We recently enjoyed our Spring Dance Showcase led by our dance teacher, Ms. Douglass, and our Spring Band Concert led by our band director, Mr. Mills. The students did a fantastic job showcasing their hard work and talents.

Additionally, our World Cultures Night this past Thursday was a wonderful success. We were delighted to be joined by so many families as we celebrated the diverse cultures represented at TVMS. A big thank you to our planning committee led by our ESOL teacher, Ms. Kauffman, and to all our volunteers, supporting staff, participants, and those who donated.

We are excited to celebrate the completion of Middle School with our 8th graders with a dance on Thursday, June 6th, and a Farewell Ceremony the following week.

Please note we will have an early dismissal this Wednesday, June 5th, as well as on the last three days of school.

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community!

Mrs. Denise Young, Principal

Effective the first day of school for the 2024-2025 school year, 1 dose of Tdap vaccine and 1 dose of Meningococcal vaccine (MCV4) are required by the state of Maryland for all students entering grade 7. Many students may have already received these immunizations, but the Health Room may not have the updated immunization record. Please contact your student’s doctor and send or fax an updated copy of your student’s immunizations to the Health Room or schedule an appointment to have your student receive these immunizations. Our fax number is 443-973-5510. The Health Department provides immunization opportunities for kids who are not up-to-date on school-required vaccinations. Call the Health Department at 410-313-7500 for more information and to schedule a vaccination appointment for your child.
