February Celebrations & Updates

Dear TPS Staff & Families:

February has been very busy with so many activities, including musical performances, school plays, and athletics events, and I have enjoyed visiting with students and families at various Black History Month celebrations.

As the first African American female superintendent serving in Topeka Public Schools, it is a privilege to serve alongside incredible educators and community members in a district committed to diversity. We've also enjoyed highlighting students and staff throughout this month for Career & Technical Education (CTE) Month and National School Counseling Week.

As we celebrate National Public Schools Week, celebrated annually the last week of February, we thank all of staff and families for their support of public schools. We are also grateful for the many community partners who uplift our students, staff, and families through generous donations in support of public school initiatives.

At this time, given the inclement weather days used and additional days embedded within the academic calendar, the school year will end as a half-day on Thursday, May 29. The academic calendar for the 2024-2025 school year can be viewed here.

We look forward to seeing many of our families in March during Parent Conferences at each of our schools. If you have any questions about your student's conference, please contact your building principal.

Thank you for your continued support.

Dr. Tiffany Anderson

Superintendent
