We have our first virtual learning day scheduled for November 22. Our goal is to provide meaningful learning while keeping the workload manageable. Students will have assignments for each of their classes. Each assignment is meant to take 10-20 minutes to complete so you can expect about two hours. All assignments will focus on reviewing previously taught content; no new material will be introduced on this day.
Assignments can be paper-based and/or digital using Canvas.
Additionally, we ask that you always encourage independent reading and the review of recently learned topics. Thank you for your partnership in helping our students have a successful virtual learning experience. Please feel free to contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions.
We are excited to welcome Brittney Carmichael to TDA to share the dangers of vaping with parents. We will also host our own Officer Johnson to deliver a gang presentation. This is the parent meeting you don't want to miss. THIS THURSDAY, Choose either the 8:30 or 3:30 session.
