Dear Truman Parents and Students:

It is with genuine enthusiasm that we welcome each of you to Truman Middle School (TMS) for the 2012-2013 year.   For some of you, this letter is a “Welcome Back” and for others it is your first welcome to TMS.  Whatever the case, please know that the Truman staff and administrative team are here to serve you, and we are excited about this new beginning!

Parents, to ensure a successful year for your student(s), here are some important suggestions:

·      Attend our “Open House” on Wednesday evening, September 26, @ 6:00 pm to meet staff and learn about Truman programs and ways to help your student maintain success.

·      Access Grades Online with your student’s password and keep updated on your student’s progress.

·      Insist that your student(s) attend school every day and arrive on time (8:00 a.m.).

·      Monitor your student’s attire to ensure he/she abides by TMS dress code and is “dressed for success!”

·      Sit down with your student and review the Parent-Student Handbook he/she brings home on the first day of school.

·      Check your student’s planner every night for homework assignments.

·      STAY INVOLVED.  Parent involvement during middle school is critical.  Don’t let your student(s) tell you differently! Parent Volunteer Application​ available online, background check and orientation required to volunteer. Please turn your volunteer form in at the main office for processing.

It is our sincere pleasure to have YOU as part of our Truman Middle School family.  Let’s work closely together to make this a safe and academically challenging place to learn.  Thank you in advance for your support.

Respectfully yours,

Ms. Justina Johnson                                 Mr. Robert Arial
