Talawanda High School E-News - October 23, 2020

 

Reminders:

 

  • Please remember, THS starts at 7:45 and our doors open to students at 7:30.

 

  • We know that morning drop-off has been bit crazy! We are working with our school resource officer and Oxford Police Department to develop a plan that gets the kids in the building quickly and safely.

 

  • Because of COVID risks we are not currently allowing parents/visitors in building--if you need assistance please call the main office at 273-3200. 

 

  • Need to pick up a student from school early? Please send an email to gingerichl@talawanda.org with the students full name and when they need to be picked up. Then pull up to the main office entrance, stay in your car, and we will send your child out to you.

 

  • Need to drop off an item for a student? There is a table in the main vestibule, place the item on the table and we will deliver it to your student. Please remember to put the student’s name on the item!

 

  • Need to drop-off medication for a student? Email (littlej@talawanda.org) or call (273-3204) To make an appointment with the nurse.

 

  • If you are interested in swimming or diving for Talawanda High School this upcoming winter, please contact Coach Stephen Pasquale (pasquales@talawanda.org) ASAP.  Practice begins October 30th!

 

  • Students who would like to run for class officer should contact Ms Mann for an application or pick up a paper application outside room 319. Applications are due back to Ms Mann on Monday, October 26, and elections will be held on Oct 29-30. 

 

 

 

 

 

  • TMS & THS Wednesday Food Distribution: Any student who is attending school in person may pick up 1 breakfast and 1 lunch on Wednesdays between 9-10 am for free! Click the link for more information.

 

  • 1st quarter grades will be going out to our students here in the building on Friday, 10/23.   All grades will be posted to Progress book so our remote learners will have access from there.

 

  • Dear THS Students and Families, Talawanda High School has partnered with Torch Prep, an innovative test prep program, to offer our students a free practice ACT test.  This test will be given on November 14 from 10AM- 2PM at THS. Please go here to register.

 

  • The Ohio Department of Education is inviting parents of children with an IEP or who receives special services to fill out a short survey. The survey can be found here.

 

  • Veterans: In the past you have attended the Talawanda HS Veterans Day Breakfast, this year due to the circumstances we are not able to hold the breakfast at THS.  The Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) wanted to still recognize our Veterans.  We have purchased signs for your front yard, and FCCLA members will be putting them up the week before Veterans Day.  It is a small token of our appreciation.  We hope to be back at THS next year with a great breakfast and assembly.  If you know of any other Veterans in the Talawanda School District please pass this on or fill one out for them.  

 

  • Students who did not receive their yearbook during the pick up day will be getting their book delivered to them during school hours if they have returned face-to-face.  For those students who elected to stay online, you will need to email yearbook@talawanda.org to arrange a pick time that works for the safety protocols implemented by Talawanda High School.

 

  • We need your help with the yearbook! Upload your pictures for the 20-21 yearbook. We want to see what online school looks like! All photos will be approved before inclusion in the yearbook. https://images.jostens.com/415713950

 

  • Talawanda-Butler Tech FCCLA Talawanda Spirit Wear Sale:  Items will make great gifts for the holidays!
