It's a Blackout Tomorrow! 🖤🏐

As an update, we began utilizing the weapon detection devices(metal detectors) this week and it was a smooth process. Just another added step for our students safety.

Tomorrow we will be handing out I Pads. Only students who have a signed AUP agreement will receive their I pad. 5th grade students will also receive a power cord. This will be the only power cord provided to them. Should they lose them, they will be responsible for purchasing a new power cord. 6th-8th grade students should bring theirs with them as they have been given one in previous years.

‼️ TCMS Sports Update ‼️

As we get close to finishing our first successful week of school, we want to let everyone know that we have a lost and found area. Every Friday, it will be emptied and the items will be donated to a variety of charity organizations. During the week, we encourage students to go to lost and found if they have missing items.

Picture Day is coming!!! September 18, 2025.

Thanks to our County Commission and Grafton High School, we are able to stream all of our home games this season. Using the instructions below, you will be able to watch the action even if you are unable to attend in person.

In the AM, parents who are dropping off their children, please do not use Valley Falls Road. Please use Spring Hills Road only to avoid traffic congestion. Thank You for your assistance.

📢 Attention Parents & Guardians
As we begin the new school year, please remember to complete and return your child’s Emergency Procedure Card as soon as possible. It is very important that guardian phone numbers and email addresses are accurate and up to date.
This year, the new WVEIS Parent Portal will be launched to replace LiveGrades, which was discontinued this summer by the WV Dept. of Education. Accurate guardian email information will ensure you receive parent/guardian access to your child’s academic progress/ information.
Emergency Procedure Cards will be sent home with students on the first day of school.
✅ Please return cards promptly so we can keep you connected and your child safe!

During the August 19th Board of Education meeting, members of the American Legion Post 12 of Grafton presented the Board of Education with framed copies of "In God We Trust" photographs, the result of a collaborative project involving Legion members and Ms. Nicki Skinner, to be displayed in each of the school system's facilities. Of special note regarding this gift is that the photograph of the American flag used to create the signs was taken of the flag that once flew above the Grafton National Cemetery. Special thanks to our local American Legion Post 12 members!
