Family Survey

Helping students do their best in school requires a team effort. Parents, students, and schools all play important roles in this process. To help all of us learn how to make your child's schooling experience as positive and beneficial as possible, we plan to provide a survey as a way for you to give us your honest, thoughtful responses to some very important questions.

Have you heard about our new Magnet Center opportunity?

The purpose of the Advanced College and Career Magnet Center is to expand pathways for over 2000 11th - 12th grade students across our seven high schools in TPSS. By allowing teachers to be centrally located within The Center, TPSS juniors and seniors will have increased access to Advanced Placement (AP) and dual enrollment courses, as well as opportunities to attain basic and advanced credentials. This innovation will support students’ college and career readiness, so they are able to access meaningful post-secondary opportunities.

The new center will open at the start of the 2023 school year.

Our April Menus are posted!

Building a positive relationship with the key players of your child's education is so important. It begins with building a professional and positive connection with the teachers who work with your child each day. If there is ever a question, misunderstanding, incident, or curiosity, reach out to the teacher first. Many concerns can be set at ease with a simple conversation. It is also helpful to reach out for praise, support, and appreciation. This goes both ways. Modeling a healthy and positive relation between families and school will help to build an encouraging attitude in our children. If reaching out to the teacher is challenging, call the school office. Each school has an administrative team that is equipped to help see that your child's needs are met.

Talking with someone about your thoughts and feelings can save your life.
