Dear TJ Community:

It is hard to believe that we have almost finished the first semester of the school year. We have much to celebrate.
• Overall student attendance is 89%
• We now offer seven dual enrollment courses
• We continue to see a decline in behavior incidents
• We are offering more club opportunities to engage students in school
• More students are accessing EXCEL time due to the time change
• At present, we have 240 seniors who are on track to graduate in May 2011
• Student enrollment is up from last year
• Staff participates in instructional rounds to discuss best practices
• AP tutorial and practice tests occur on Saturdays
• Increased participation at parent/teacher conferences
• Increased interest from incoming 8th graders

While we have much work still ahead, so we should all take a moment to celebrate our efforts, rejuvenate, and prepare for the semester ahead.
Happy Holidays!
Sandra Just,
TJ Principal
