Reminders:

 

  • Your teachers miss you! Please remember that students need to be checking their Talawanda email and Google classroom every school day!

 

 

  • Is your child interested in CCP for Fall 2020?  If so, they must apply by May 1st. Please email your School Counselor if you have any questions!

 

  • From Mr. McWilliams: Mrs. McWilliams, the art teacher at Kramer, and I have created a youtube channel together, but it has her name at the top, because of google.  We just learned how to make fabric masks. Here is the link
  • I have a Google classroom page which students can join, each class has a link: 

 

  • Pictures for the yearbook are rather scarce during this time as we can't go take any of the students.  Our yearbook publisher has a solution - https://www.replayit.com/#/home - You can use this website to upload pictures for consideration in our yearbook.  If there are any other pictures of your student at home you would like to send and don't want to use the service, please send them to yearbook@talawanda.org.  Thank you in advance for helping our students build the yearbook during this difficult time!
  • TSD Meal/Food Program Update! See flyer for details!  The program will continue on Mondays & Fridays.  Thank you to all of our volunteers and community partners for the continued support!
  • As we all adjust to a new normal and cope with the full impacts of COVID-19 we want to remind parents and preventionists across Ohio that we have tools, research, and expertise to support Ohioans of all ages. For the next 40 days, Prevention Action Alliance will share a practical tip at 1:00 p.m. that you can use immediately to support a happy, healthy, safe, and drug-free family, home, and community. Practical Principle 1: Family Support- Family life provides high levels of love and support.
  • If your senior missed the senior picture deadline, there is still time to make sure the portrait ends up in the yearbook!  Email yearbook@talawanda.org with your portrait and the yearbook staff will make sure the picture gets into the yearbook!

 

  • Senior Ads are still on sale!  Please contact yearbook@talawanda.org if you would like to reserve your senior special place in the yearbook.  Payment and pictures are also due for Senior Ads by April 30th - pictures can be emailed or delivered to the main office and checks can be made out to Talawanda High School.

 

  • Don't forget to get your copy of the 2019-2020 yearbook by visiting www.jostens.com and selecting Talawanda High School from the yearbook menu.

 

 

  • Best Buddies members: If anyone would like to email with Mrs. Sammons or be set up to correspond with a buddy as an electronic pen pal while we are out of school, please email Mrs. Sammons at sammonsa@talawanda.org. Also, please follow our Facebook page “Talawanda High School Best Buddies” for information and ideas to do at home. 

 

  • Did you know students have access to FREE audiobooks and ebooks through the Talawanda Middle and High School OverDrive collection?
    • Students can download the Sora app on any device, or they can use the OverDrive widget on their Chromebook Abre page to access our digital collection.
    • Our collection of titles is an extension of Talawanda Middle and High School’s physical libraries.  The difference is students have 24/7 access to ebooks and audiobooks. It’s convenient for students to check out titles at home, on the weekends or during school breaks with no worry about misplacing a book or running up late fees – these digital titles automatically return at the end of the lending period!
    • We have been building our OverDrive collection and are excited to currently have over 1400 eBooks and 300 audiobooks!
    • When accessing the collection, student logins are the same as gmail account logins WITHOUT the @talawanda.org. Example:  
      • Username:  monica.greene
      • Password:  413090tsd
    • Please contact Monica Greene greenem@talawanda.org with any questions.
