We are looking for parent volunteers to help out with the TMS Fall Scholastic Book Fair. The fair will run from October 16 through October 20th. All parents must have a current BCI check on file. Please email Ms. Nogueira -- snogueira@tivertonschools.org --
if you are interested. Please provide your name, a phone number where
you can be reached, your child's name here at TMS, and the days and
times you would be available. Again, thank you to all former and current
parent volunteers. The Scholastic Book Fair could not happen without your help. Last year, sales from Scholastic Book Fairs purchased Scholastic News and JuniorScholastic magazines for several Social Studies classes, books for the TMS Library, and hundreds of books for our classrooms.
Dear TMS Families,
As
you are aware, the middle school received approval to renovate its roof
and HVAC system. These are critical school structures, for sure. The
broad timeline for
construction is early October 2017 to late October 2018.
Construction will occur in phases with periods of high activity and relative stasis depending on the weather/season. Starting Monday, October 2nd, Ahlborg Construction
will begin work on the exterior of the cafeteria roof -- followed by the kitchen, music, and gym-locker room roofs.
In
preceding and ongoing meetings with the construction company, the
Building Committee, of which I am a three-year member, has stressed that
safety, security, and
communication must continue to be our top priorities. All building
equipment and supplies will be properly labeled and secured away from
student activity. In addition, construction workers will be properly
vetted, identified for security and monitoring purposes,
and their access limited to designated areas.
As
a parent/guardian, you may notice additional vehicle traffic in and
around the middle school. Please plan accordingly to allow a few extra
minutes when dropping
off/picking up your child.
I
will continue to provide periodic updates as construction continues,
and I appreciate your continued support of this much-needed project.
Warm regards,
Dr. Laurie Dias-Mitchell ... and the A-M-A-Z-I-N-G TMS Faculty and Staff!
