Parents, beginning with the 8th grade year, students all across West Virginia must begin to complete a Personalized Education Plan, also called PEP, as they move forward through high school and into the career of their choice. PEPs help students track graduation requirements, schedule planning for subsequent high school years, and preparation for career choices as they leave high school.
Mr. Dooley will be holding a PEP Night for Parents on February 22, 2022 at 6:00 PM in the TCMS Commons to help offer information to parents and students desiring to deepen the discussion. 8th grade students and parents are welcome to come hear, discuss, ask questions, and learn all things about Personalized Education Plans as they help their students prepare for high school graduation.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Dooley, TCMS 7/8 Grade School Counselor, at 304-265-0722, ext 4148 or via email at Jerry.Dooley@k12.wv.us

The CTE Lab at TCMS is an exciting new classroom this school year. In this class, students explore areas of various Careers and Technology as well as STEAM and project based learning.
Parents, now that we are in the second semester and you have received report cards, I want to remind you of our Afterschool Learning program. This program provides math and reading support along with homework assistance. There are also opportunities for enrichment and recreational activities. Our LSIC provided feedback that parents may appreciate a list of teachers that are working the program and their specialty areas so that if your child needs help with a specific subject or would like an extra opportunity to work with a certain teacher you can more accurately direct them in the program. Applications are available in the office and the program does provide a meal and transportation and runs until 5 pm.

Today in our STEM lab:
Given only one piece of paper students were challenged to design a cup/vessel that would hold water for 30 seconds (tape/glue could not be used). Using the Engineering Design Process of defining their problem, identifying constraints, brainstorming ideas, building a prototype, and testing their design, many students were successful in their creations. Even the designs that did not hold water were still successful in working through the design process.
