Parents, make sure you are monitoring your child's academic progress and email teachers if you have questions about assignments or grades. Temperatures and wind chills are extremely dangerous so stay warm and safe. Future weather-related school closings will be announced as the situation unfolds.

Please read the following important message from TPS Instructional Technology department regarding the use of school issued internet hot spots:
If your child has checked out a Verizon or AT&T hot spot from the school for connectivity, please do not leave the device plugged into an outlet to charge continuously. Doing so will cause the battery to overheat and make the device unusable. Once the status light on the device turns blue or green, take it off the charger until it turns red at which time it can then be recharged. We appreciate your help in maintaining these hot spot devices while they are in use by your children.
