ROOS CHOOSE CHARACTER EDUCATION WORD OF THE MONTH: SCHOOL PRIDE

Welcome to the new school year, Roos! It’s going to be a great year of learning. What does it mean to be a Roo? Here at Tison Middle School - we believe that Roos are PROUD of who we are. Roos choose to demonstrate school pride by following classroom and campus expectations. To do this, we will be polite, responsible, organized, understanding and determined. Show your Roo pride and let's make it a rootastic school year!

STUDENTS THAT NEED TO SEE A COUNSELOR AT SCHOOL

Any student on campus can request to see a counselor throughout the school year. The form linked below can be used by a student who needs to see a counselor to discuss their schedule, peer relationship issues, or any other situation that may arise. We look forward to serve our students and families.

❗Parents, please help our traffic move more quickly by:

1) making sure your child knows where you are picking them up (front entrance or back loop entrance)

2) pull all the way down the pickup line at the front entrance to allow as many cars to be curbside as possible for car loading. When cars stop 50 feet from the front entrance to load, is slows down the entire traffic pattern.

• Parents/Guardians may drop off lunch for their students by coming into the front office.
• There is a cart to place lunches on with markers and notes available to place the student’s name on the lunch.
• Parents/Guardians must communicate with their student that lunch is being dropped off for them, as the front office staff will not be able to call students out of class to come pick up their lunch.

• Students will be responsible for coming to the office to pick up their lunch.

Your student will come by the office on their way to lunch to escort you to the student-parent seating area in the fine arts hallway.
