Dear Parents/Guardians:

Eighth Grade parents attended last evening’s THS Guidance Information Night, hosted by the Guidance Department.  They learned about the opportunities available for our high school students, our academic program and our support for college and career readiness.  Thank you to Mr. Costa and Ms. Perillo for a wonderful presentation, and all those parents who attended.

Tomorrow, December 7, marks the anniversary of the tragic attack on Pearl Harbor, launching America into World War II.  Today, our veterans visited THS US History classes to share with our students’ intimate accounts of that historic day and the ensuing sacrifices of a world war.  Thanks to Mr. Pinto and the veterans for sharing their experiences and to Ms. Heinsohn and Ms. Whelan for coordinating these efforts.   

Second marking period progress reports will be updated in the portal, December 13^th. 

It is that time of year, the THS/TMS Winter Strings Concert, which is movie themed music, will be held on Tuesday, December 10 @ 7:30 pm in the auditorium.

Parents can also visit the annual book fair in the library that evening.  This year’s theme is “Let’s Book It”.  The book fair will run from Monday, December 9 through Wednesday, December 11 for all students.  Thank you Ms. Johnson and Ms. D’Angelo for all your work in organizing this event with the PTA.

Senior students are reminded of the following:

• Diploma Forms were mailed home to parents/seniors last month and numerous reminders have been given.  The order is being placed on Tuesday.  If your child has not submitted the form, the name will appear as it does on the report card.
• If you have not chosen your yearbook portrait for the yearbook.  Please go to the Lifetouch portal to do so.  You have until December 13.  After that date, a portrait will be chosen for you.
• Yearbook write-ups are due by January 3.  You must complete the document found on Google Classroom.  There is also information there regarding how to submit your baby picture.  Any questions on anything related to the yearbook, please see Dr. Gmoser.

 Congratulations to our GSA club for a successful Ally week program and our advisor, Ms. Heinsohn for organizing this event.

 Please take the time to complete the Superintendent Search Survey which you received under separate email.   Also, note the Superintendent Search Community Forum has been rescheduled to December 13^th  at 6 pm.

 Regards,

Dr. Bart Linehan
