🎾TYLER LEGACY TENNIS PARENT MEETING🎾

We will have our annual Parent Meeting on Monday 5/23/22.

This meeting is for the parents of all incoming 7th-12th graders.

The meeting will take place at Tyler Legacy Highschool in the Lecture Hall (Located near the main entrance of the school) from 6-7 p.m.

We will briefly discuss important information about both the Fall & Spring seasons, program expectations and more.

Texas mandates that all students must have a Tdap booster and the Meningococcal vaccine on or before the start of 7th grade school year. Immunization records may be submitted to the front office, emailed to marissa.boerger@tylerisd.org, or faxed to 903-534-2871. If you do not submit an updated copy of immunization records reflecting administration of both vaccines, your student will not be allowed to attend school in August 2022. Reminder letters will be mailed in April.

Students are not allowed on the premises of FRESH or Three Lakes Plaza Shopping Center.

Improving attendance at Three Lakes Middle School is a top priority this school year. There is a direct correlation between student attendance and school success, so encourage your students to attend school and discuss the importance of them being here daily.

Our attendance for the week is as follows:

Grade 6: 96.44%

Grade 7: 96.52%

Grade 8: 94.95%

Overall: 95.95%

Congratulations to our 7th graders for having the highest attendance this week!!! Continue motivating your students to attend school...it makes a difference!!!

Here are some helpful hints to help with attendance:

• Establish and stick to the basic routines (going to bed early, waking up on time, etc.) that will help your child develop the habit of on-time attendance.
• Talk to your child about why going to school every day is critical and important unless they are sick. If your child seems reluctant to go to school, find out why and work with the teacher, counselor, or administrator to get them excited about going to school.
• Come up with back up plans for who to turn to (another family member, a neighbor or fellow parents) to help you get your child to school if something comes up (e.g. another child gets sick, your car breaks down, etc.).
• Reach out for help if you are experiencing tough times (e.g. transportation, unstable housing, loss of a job, health problems) that make it difficult to get your child to school. Other parents, your child’s teacher, principal, social worker, school nurse, counselor, or community agencies can help you problem solve or connect you to a needed resource.
• If your child is absent, work with the teacher to make sure she or he has an opportunity to learn and make up for the academics missed.
