High School information Night

Current seventh graders will be the first class that will be experiencing the new regional model programs.  Current 8th graders will continue to have access to existing programs and should be applying for special programs now.  Starting in the 27-28 school year, students will be attending special programs within their own region. 

Please come to TPMS on October 6th at 6pm to learn all about it. More information is found here: https://app.smore.com/n/ec3mf

Academic Expectations and Honesty

Finally, while we talk alot about enrichment, rigor, I'd like to invite you to discuss with your famiily the importance of academic honesty.  Many students, in experiencing the pressures from peers and parents to have all A's all the time,  they may find that the dangers of falling short push them to make choices where they are not exhibiting academic honestly. Technology, allows students to get answers to quizzes or use Chat GTP, and it is hard for them to resist.  Please discuss with your kids why it is better to succeed, and fail, on their own merit, then to take academic shortcuts.
