ATTENDANCE

Thankful for the Gift of Education

As we approach Thanksgiving Break, we're incredibly grateful for our dedicated students and supportive families! Showing up to school each day takes care, effort, and determination.

You have #AcceptedTheChallenge of finishing strong this week! Let's all be ready to take on Friday - then we can step into Thanksgiving Break!

#AlmostThere #FinishStrong #MakeItCount

Check your child's attendance in the Student Progress Center (SPC). Turn in any parent or doctor notes for days missed, so that those absences can be marked as excused. Under a new policy change, students may now submit up to 5 parent-written excuses per semester to be considered excused absences.

Thanksgiving Holidays

All TPSS Schools and Offices will be closed November 24 - 28, 2025 for Thankgiving Break.

MAGNET PROGRAMS

TPSS STEAM Magnet Programs

AT TPSS, we empower students to become their best selves. Here's why our Magnet Programs play a critical role in that mission:

Magnet schools offer specialized lessons and create a more hands-on learning experience.

Students can explore special interests as well as learn their skills and strengths.

Magnet schools offer unique learning environments for students with different learning styles.

Our Application Window for the 2026 - 2027 School Year is Open!

CALENDAR

Academic Calendar Update

The adopted 2025-2026 Academic Calendar designated two days as “weather days” for potential closures. Since the days have not been needed so far this semester, as stated in our adopted calendar, we will close schools two additional days and begin the Christmas Holiday break on December 17, 2025.

The academic calendar has been adjusted to reflect that schools will be closed on December 18th and December 19th. Wednesday, December 17th, will be a half-day for students.

In the event that we must use a weather day or two before Christmas Break, these days would be added back to the calendar as instructional days.
