Upcoming Events:

Back to School Night ~ Tonight, August 28, 6:00-7:30 pm
Labor Day ~ No School ~ Monday, September 1

Back to School Night is an event not to miss! Join us tonight from 6:00-7:30 at Back to School Night. Parents will get to walk their student's schedule, spending time in each class period (and advisory), finding out details and specifics regarding each class and teacher. Parents can also sign up for parent teacher conferences which will be on Thursday and Friday, September 25 and 26. Hope to see you here!

Parents: Be sure to ask your student what his/her first hour class is (including room number) before arriving at Back to School Night tonight. Parents will go to their student's 1st hour class at 6:00 pm and will then receive a copy of their student's schedule for going to the rest of their student's classes that evening.

Substitute teachers are needed for this school year. If you are interested in subbing at TSAS, please email Liesa at lsm...@tsas.org.

The PTSA is asking for donations of cookies and bottled water for tonight's Back to School Night. Donations can be left in the office through Thursday after school. Thank you!
