Reminder: No School for TCMS Students ONLY tomorrow, Friday, February 7th.
Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
On March 5, 2018, the West Virginia Legislature passed House Bill 4402 which requires that children in grades K-12 receive age-appropriate body safety education. The goal of body safety education is to educate and empower West Virginia public school children. In accordance with W. Va. Code §18-2-41, your child will be provided body safety education.
It is recognized that the basic responsibility for the teaching of body safety education belongs in the home with the support of the school and other community agencies to strengthen the efforts of the parent(s)/guardian(s). The Child Advocacy Center and the WV State Police will be providing a presentation on February 6, 2025.
You are encouraged to continue to be involved in the discussions which promote body safety education.
Reminder: No School for TCMS Students ONLY this Friday, February 7th.
TCMS JAZZ BAND FINISHES 2ND IN THE STATE!
In only its third year of existence, the TCMS Jazz Band finished as State Runners-Up in the West Virginia Middle School Jazz Finalist Competition. The winner was Suncrest Middle School in Morgantown, who will perform at the State Music Conference in March as a result of their achievement.
Recordings of three tunes were submitted on Friday, January 31st and the band was scored out of 100 points in a number of categories by three judges. Although two of the judges actually scored TCMS higher than the winner, the combined scores narrowly put Suncrest Middle on top by three points.
The TCMS Jazz Band received many compliments on the excellence of their performance and are to be commended for this remarkable achievement.
The TCMS Band had eight students who made the Region I Middle School Honor Band through a rigorous video audition process. Unfortunately, the event (which would have been held at Wheeling Park High School on January 18th) was cancelled due to inclement weather. These students are: Ty Camerlin (2nd Chair Trumpet), Chloe Kinsey (4th Chair Clarinet), Jennifer Haught (8th Chair Clarinet), Emma Cooper (1st Chair Alto Saxophone), Kaylee Cottrell (2nd Chair Flute), Abigail Jacenkiw (5th Chair Alto Saxophone), Michael Cooper (1st Chair Trombone), and Connor Sutton (2nd Chair Trombone).
