Community Engagement Event
As a community, the greatest impact that we can have on our collective success is to ensure that every one of our young people graduates with the necessary knowledge and skills needed to thrive in the future. It will take all of us - students, families, educators, staff, and community members to make that happen.
This is why we invite you, our TPSS families & community members, to attend one of our Community Engagement Events to listen, learn, and engage in productive conversations as we work together to create our strategic plan to place into action for the upcoming school years.
Let's work together to make sure all our voices are heard and all our hopes and dreams for our children and community are realized.
Upcoming Dates & Locations of Community Engagement Events:
March 13 @ LHS - cafeteria
March 14 @ PHS - library
The doors open at 5:30pm. The meeting is from 6-7:30pm.
All of our events will cover the same topic. We are offering a variety of dates and locations, to reduce travel time for our families.
Read our current TPSS Strategic Plan to gain insight into the purpose and priorities of having a plan. If you have any feedback or input, that is the purpose of this meeting. Help us to create our next strategic plan for our school district by engaging in the building process. We hope to see you there!
