January is School Board Recognition Month.

This month provides us with a wonderful opportunity to honor the dedicated individuals who volunteer their time and expertise to lead our district.
Our school board members serve as crucial advocates for our students, staff, and community. They spend countless hours behind the scenes making complex decisions that shape the future of our schools.

Please join us in thanking the following board members for their commitment to our shared mission. Thank you for everything you do to make our district a place where students can thrive.

Welcome Back to TDS 🏫

The new semester is underway, and we're delighted to have our students return to learning. Parent-teacher conferences are currently being scheduled, and we encourage families to reach out to their child's teacher to arrange a meeting. These conferences provide an important opportunity to discuss student progress and collaborative support.

Our team looks forward to a productive and engaging semester ahead. 📚
