Dear TCJHS Families,
As we begin Quarter 2, we want to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and to share some important information to help ensure your student’s success and safety during this academic period.
Academic Performance & Meeting Attendance Guidelines Our focus remains on supporting each student’s academic progress. Please encourage your child to attend all scheduled classes and meetings punctually. Regular attendance and active participation are vital to maintaining steady academic growth and meeting school expectations. If your child is struggling or facing challenges, please do not hesitate to reach out so we can work together to provide the necessary support.
Student IDs and Safety Guidelines For the safety and security of all students, every student must carry their school-issued ID while on campus. Student IDs help us maintain a safe learning environment and enable staff to quickly identify everyone on campus. Please remind your child to bring their ID daily, as students without IDs may be subject to additional safety checks.
Tutoring Sessions on Tuesdays To further support academic achievement, tutoring sessions are held every Tuesday. These sessions provide targeted assistance to help students improve their understanding and skills in key subjects. If your child has been invited to participate in tutoring, please ensure that the permission slip sent home is completed and returned promptly. This allows us to provide the necessary resources and plan effectively for each session.
ALICE Training This Quarter As part of our commitment to student safety, we will be conducting ALICE training this quarter. ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) is a program designed to prepare students and staff to respond effectively in emergencies. This training helps students understand how to stay safe by learning critical skills for various scenarios. Permission slips for ALICE training will be sent home shortly, and we ask that you review, sign, and return them so your child can participate.
We appreciate your cooperation in reinforcing these guidelines at home, as your partnership is essential to your child’s success and safety. If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment to your students’ education.
Sincerely,
C. Benally, Ed.Sp. –Â Principal
M. Balcerek –Â Dean of Students
