TVMS News

Greetings TVMS community,

This week, we had a productive PTSA meeting where we successfully elected our PTSA board for the 2024-25 school year! Stay tuned for upcoming information on fundraisers, restaurant nights, and volunteer opportunities.

After the business meeting, our school staff presented a helpful session on navigating the Canvas platform. You can review the presentation here.

As a reminder, the first quarter ends on October 30th. Please take some time to review your child's grades and reach out to their teachers with any questions or concerns.

Thank you for your continued support!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Mrs. Denise Young, Principal

Terracycling is a company that helps to recycle material that is not normally collected for collection. Through November 19, 2024, we are participating in the Takis recycling competition. Please help us by collecting your empty Takis bags and bringing them to TVMS to place in the collection box in the cafeteria during all lunch shifts. The top 3 schools will win some fabulous prizes and the top school will win a Takis celebration with a Takis truck!!! Help TVMS win by collecting your empty Takis bags and bringing them to school! Thanks!

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.
