Timberwolves are expected to turn in their permission forms before morning announcements in their grade level hallway. Tickets will go on sale February, 12th. Permission forms and money are to be turned in no later than 12:00 pm. on February 21st. Tickets will not be sold at the door.

There will be a cap for the number of tickets available for purchase. As always, students who attend the dance should consistently demonstrate behavior that aligns with the Student Code of Conduct and PBIS framework both in and out of school.

If you are interested in volunteering to chaperone the dance, please complete this Google form as well as having your student turn in a permission slip.

Effective the first day of school for the 2024-2025 school year, 1 dose of Tdap vaccine and 1 dose of Meningococcal vaccine (MCV4) are required by the state of Maryland for all students entering grade 7. Many students may have already received these immunizations, but the Health Room may not have the updated immunization record. Please contact your student’s doctor and send or fax an updated copy of your student’s immunizations to the Health Room or schedule an appointment to have your student receive these immunizations. Our fax number is 443-973-5510. The Health Department provides immunization opportunities for kids who are not up-to-date on school-required vaccinations. Call the Health Department at 410-313-7500 for more information and to schedule a vaccination appointment for your child.

If you have further questions, please email Cheryl Harris, TVMS School Nurse, at cheryl_harris@hcpss.org.

Students are not permitted to use their personal technology devices (phones) during school time, including lunch, recess and hallway transitions. This is in accordance with the Board of Education Policy 8080. If a student is seen with their device they will be expected to put it away immediately. If chronic issues persist, disciplinary actions may be implemented in alignment with the HCPSS Code of Conduct.

To support this, please refrain from calling or texting your child during school hours. If you need to get a message to them or contact them, please call the Front Office at 410-313-8711

Food delivery services (i.e. Door Dash, Uber Eats, etc.) are not allowed. Delivery will be refused as we do not have the capability to process this during the school day. If a parent would like to bring their child's lunch to the school, we ask that you do so prior to the start of your child's lunch shift. Parents will need to leave the lunch with our Front Office staff.
