Greetings,
This is it! The final Monday Mail of the school year. Regardless of the unique end to this school year, I want to thank each of you for contributing to another very successful year for the students and faculty of Trickum Middle School. This is the truly the greatest community in the nation!
Final Exams should be wrapped up at this point with the exceptions of makeups, remediation, and/or retests. Please contact each teacher directly should you have any questions regarding final exams and/or final grades.
Tomorrow begins the process for students to pick up and drop off belongings. The schedule and details are located
HERE. We look forward to seeing everyone during this drive through process. Please pay attention to the specific instructions to ensure a smooth experience.
There are a few yearbooks remaining and they go on sale today. Once they're gone, they're gone. If you're interested, please purchase them today at this
link. These will be distributed as a part of the pick-up plan this week.
Eight grade parents, please complete and upload the
Carnegie credit form by Friday, May 29th. More information is below including details on the Q&A sessions scheduled for tonight.

Need to pick up or drop off items at TMS?
|
As part of the process of closing out the school year, we want to provide students an opportunity to collect their personal items left behind when schools closed in March and to collect additional items like yearbooks. Additionally, many students have school-owned items (library books, textbooks, chromebooks, instruments, etc.) which need to be returned as school ends. Attached within the link below is the detailed plan for this pick up and return process. Please review the process, arrive during your child's reserved time (or one of the make-up times), follow the signs, and remain in your car. Our plan has been created to provide safety for you, your child, and school personnel while still allowing us to complete this process to close out our school year.
We hope that you and your family are well, and want to thank you for helping make the end of this school year a success.

Summer Health and PE at Parkview
|
Does your student need to free up his or her high school schedule to allow for band, theater, chorus, strings, or athletics? If you answered yes, then you should consider allowing your student to take Health and Personal Fitness (PE) during the summer of 2020 through the Parkview Community School located at Parkview High School. These courses will still be offered this summer in an online fashion.

Going to high school next year and interested in color guard?
Colorguard at Parkview is a co-ed activity and any student interested in participating is invited to register. No previous experience is required, but a willingness to learn new things is!
A parent meeting will be held at a future date in May. We understand that the end of the school year has been very different for everyone, so we have adjusted the 8th-grade Colorguard Registration and Audition Schedule for this year:
Registration for 8th-grade students began May 1st
Registration deadline with $150 deposit due May 31st (required for uniform fitting)
Auditions for Colorguard will take place during June (or the first scheduled rehearsal, if delayed by outside circumstances)
