Dear Parents/Guardians:
Welcome back to another exciting school year! As we continue our work together helping all students make positive choices regarding their behavior at school and during school activities, we encourage you to take time to review our updated Students Rights and Responsibilities Handbook which was updated this year to reflect new state rules and guidelines. You will find this on our website at: bit.ly/TSD_Student_Rights_and_Responsibilities
As we partner with you to help every student succeed, we spend the first weeks of school reviewing classroom/school routines and procedures, as well as school rules to ensure students fully understand their part in making our schools as safe and productive as possible. Thank you for your support in reinforcing these expectations with your student(s).
