TPMS Magnet Program
May 21 2023 Update
Hello Magnet Families!
"No laughing at dancing"
Last week was our 2nd week of testing week and so we don't have images of classwork in this week's update, so, instead, I thought I'd share this picture from my four-year old. She was dancing in our kitchen when her brother laughed at her. She was embarassed and upset and decided to make a "no laughing" sign on an oyster shell (it's her attempt at a "no" with a picture of someone laughing.)
It's a good reminder that when we let our guard down, take a risk, and move outside our comfort zone, that's when we are most vulnerable and that's when we are grateful to teachers who keep their rooms safe.
With only a month left in this school year, the classes are wrapping up topics and field trips and special events are abundant.
Check out the table below for information about make-up testing dates, field trips, and more.
Magnet Families Needed and Wanted on the PTSAMagnet families are under-represented on the TPMS PTSA. Can you help change that? Leadership roles and parent volunteers are what make TPMS great, and the more involvement there is, the better school is for yours and everyone else's child. Below is a list of open positions and needed volunteers RIGHT NOW. Please take a look and email TPMS.PTA.president@gmail.com if you are interested.
