Students, Parents and Guardians:
As the end of the school year quickly approaches, we want to inform you of the eligibility requirements for referral to summer school. Summer school will be offered at TCJSHS for the core content areas of English, Math, Science and History. Students must earn a 55%, during the regular school year, to be referred for summer school. Summer school dates and times will come in a later communication.
Many students are working to complete missing assignments in classes, and we feel it is important to remind everyone of our Late Work Policy that states:
“Late penalties for daily assignments may be applied as follows:
1 Day = 10% grade reduction
2-3 Days = 20% grade reduction
4+ Days = 50% grade reduction
Daily Assignments will not be carried over from one unit of study to another.”
Please encourage your student to work on MOST RECENT assignments first, as they continue to work, and to follow up with their teachers for class specific information. Also, please remember ESS is offered on Tuesdays and Wednesday, after school until 4:30. Additional tutoring options may be scheduled with Mrs. Pyles.
It is that time of year – time to hold Parent Elections for Site Based Council!
A parent is defined as, "parent, stepparent, or foster parent. Guardians also qualify as parents if the student lives with them and they have a court order giving them legal custody." Parents MUST have a student enrolled in TCJSHS. Employees of TCJSHS, the Central Office, and the Board of Education (and their immediate family members) are not eligible to serve as a Parent Member on the Council. If you would like to nominate yourself, or another parent, please email the nomination to Shawna Jent: shawna.jent@trimble.kyschools.us.
Nominations will be accepted thru April 22nd at 5 pm. Election will be held on April 30th. More details regarding the election will be shared soon.
