Dear TJ Families and Community,

Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year. The summer has brought many new changes to the school’s structure. The auditorium has a new sound system and electronic stage curtain, we have a new gym floor and bleachers, new heating vents have gone into all classrooms, the parking lot was repaved, and the front steps have been redone. Thanks to all voters who supported the bond allowing for this work to get done. It makes a world of difference.

Our teaching staff has agreed to pilot the new evaluation system. It is called Leading Effective Academic Progress (LEAP). Staff have spent the six days prior to school in professional development learning about the system and discussing best practices for academic achievement of students. This work will continue on throughout the school year. I applaud the staff for their work on this effort.

Our school expectations are that all students will take at least one Advanced Placement or Concurrent Enrollment course prior to graduation. Students will also complete 10 hours of community service per year for a total of forty hours prior to graduating.
