On Thursday, March 11th at 6:00 pm, Thomas Johnson Middle School’s Guidance Department will host our 2010-2011 school year Transition Night. Information on how middle school operates, academic expectations, extra-curricular activities and registration for the 2010-2011 school year will be provided. This is a GREAT opportunity for parents and students to get an understanding of the differences between elementary and middle school. Additional information will be posted here on the site between now and the end of this school year under the menu selection at the top or right of this page. Parents and Students, On March 9th, 10th, 16th and 17th students at TJMS will be taking the Maryland School Assessment (MSA). The MSA tests are used to measure the Annual Yearly Progress (AYP) of students at the school as they progress toward proficiency in their academic subjects. The tests also determine the amount of funding schools in the district receive from the federal government. It is imperative that TJMS’s students do well on these assessments. To ensure that students are well rested and mentally prepared for the tests:

Greetings! According to SchoolMax, Wednesday the 17th of February will be an B day. Please plan accordingly.Schools are CLOSED for students on Tuesday 2/16. All employees (10, 11 and 12 month employees) are to report to work 2 hours late. Did you know that over 75% of all internet traffic is unwanted commercial e-mail (spam) ? You’ll notice that we do not include directly ‘clickable’ links to teacher’s e-mail addresses on the site anymore. The reason behind this is that in the past, spambots (automated computer programs that go from website to website harvesting e-mail addresses) have gathered e-mail addresses from our site and increased the amount of unwanted e-mail showing up in teachers’ mailboxes over 300% (literally, from 1-2 unwanted e-mails per week to 5-20 e-mails per day). Even with our system’s automatic quarantine of most spam e-mail, that type of traffic unnecessary strain on school resources and teacher time. As an alternative, we have put the beginnings of our teachers’ e-mail addresses (firstname.lastname) on the site. All you, the parent (or student) need to do is cut and paste those names and add “@pgcps.org” to the end of it to send e-mail to the teacher. The names are located under the Faculty/Staff link at the top of this page (here: http://mrgilliardmusic.com/tjms/?page_id=10 ). Hello parents! Please be aware that progress reports went home with students today, January 4, 2010. If you have not received your child’s progress report, please contact the school immediately. |
