Lunches - students will be given the opportunity to check the office at their lunch time.  Missing work, forgotten items - will be put into homeroom teachers boxes.

Early Dismissal - If your child has an appointment, etc. and will need to be dismissed from school early, please send a note with your child to the office (at start of day) and we will give them a pass for teachers to dismiss them to the office.

  1. We have read about your one-to-one giving initiative and, if you are interested, we would like to be help support your efforts. In that vein, we would like to offer TJMS a $200 discount per cart (off the educational price list) on any of our Chromebook carts. You can visit www.chromecarts.com to see the models.

    Please ask for Joe or Colleen at Datamation Systems (1-800-724-4339) if you have any questions.
