TVMS News

Greetings TVMS community,

We are happy to be back to academics after a few additional unexpected snow days! As a reminder, Quarter 2 ends on Tuesday, January 23rd. Please take a moment to check your student’s progress on Canvas and feel free to reach out to teachers or staff with any questions or concerns.

As we close out the quarter, students will also begin working on their course recommendations for next school year. To support this process, our school counselors will attend the upcoming PTA meeting on Wednesday, January 15th. After the business portion of the meeting, counselors will review the course selection process and answer any questions families may have.

Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to support our Timberwolves!

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.
