Parents and students, we at TCMS hope you have a relaxing and safe summer break! As you de-stress over this summer and organize for next school year, if you come across a library or text books please turn them into the school. There is a fee associated with both that will eventually catch up to you and we want you to avoid that. While these can be turned in to the school this summer, you can also turn it in when you return in the fall. Have a great summer and we will see you in August!
If your student has medication at school, it must be picked up by noon tomorrow or it will be discarded.
Our Art students are awesome!

Reminder:
6th grade has been busy designing and building mazes in our STEM lab. Once built, students code our SPHERO robots through the mazes.
Parents and athletes, free sports physicals are being offered on June 1 and 2 at the Taylor County Health Clinic across form Anna Jarvis Elementary from 3:30 to 4:30. Physical forms are available in the TCMS office.
In our STEM lab our students have been busy with cardboard projects. 7th grade made cardboard chairs that had to hold the teacher for 1 minute! The challenge was they could use ONLY cardboard - no tape, glue, etc. Teams used the Engineering Design Process to Identify the problem, Develop solutions, Create a prototype, Test and evaluate, and think of ways they could redesign.

“Thank you” to the WVU Extension Office and STEAM TAC for participating in our STEM Night!
Parents, tomorrow we begin the WVGSA. On the dates I previously put out I was very generous with the "window" we would need. This was to account for technical issues or anything else unforeseen that might extend testing longer than expected. If everything goes well, we will test math on Monday, ELA reading Tuesday, and ELA writing Wednesday. This will conclude testing for the 6th and 7th grade except for those that that were absent and will need to makeup a test session. 5th and 8th grade are required to also take a science component on the WVGSA, so we will take a pause on Thursday (8th grade is going to GHS for move-up day) and then conduct the science test on Friday.
Testing will be conducted each morning this week according to the above schedule and, for most, will finish before lunch. However, it is an untimed test and some students may work into the afternoon. We will ensure they are provided lunch and with breaks if they are still testing.
Please make sure that your student goes to bed at a decent hour tonight and each night this week. Please leave smart devices such as Apple Watches and AirPods at home as they will not be allowed in the testing rooms. Phones will have to be put into lockers or given to the teacher during testing. If your child must leave school, please try to wait until the afternoon as we are testing in the mornings.
Go Knights!
