Takoma Park Middle School

TPMS Magnet Program

June 4 2023 Update

Hello Magnet Families!  

"Rockets, Music, and Dance!"

It's June and you can feel the summer excitement in the air!  The end of each school year is a time for celebrations, showing-off, and wrapping up.  Students work on culminating projects, reflect on the year's learning, show off their growth, and, hopefully, have fun.  This week, students performed at the Choral concert Thursday evening, 8th graders launched their rocket creations, Spanish classes went out to La Cassitas to order in Spanish, and the 8th graders had their year-end dance.

Last week also marked the END of afterschool activities.  For the rest of the year, there will be NO late buses, so all students must leave by 3pm.

This week students will clean out their lockers on Tuesday the 6th, and lockers will be unavailable afterwards as lockers are repaired and combinations updated for next year.  Ms. Murphy will host her incredible "Scene's Showcase" on June 8th and on June 9th, the 8th graders will go to Six Flags and then Monday is the 8th grade promotion. 

Greetings Grade 8 Parents & Caretakers,

Due to the current air quality advisory, the Six Flags Amusement Park Trip has been rescheduled to Wednesday, June 14th. Students should report to school at 8:15 AM and proceed to their first block class. Buses will depart from TPMS to the Amusement Park at 10:15 AM.  Students are scheduled to return from the Park at  7pm. Please make arrangements to pick up your child promptly at 7pm.

As stated in the original permission slip, this is a non-refundable trip. If your child has a conflict and cannot attend the trip on the rescheduled date, please complete this Google form and someone will contact you.

Thank you for your cooperation, patience  and understanding as we worked out a plan to ensure our students health and safety. We are happy and excited to join with our grade 8 students in activities to celebrate the culmination of their middle school years.

On Thursday the 16th, the 6th and 7th graders will enjoy a day-long fun-day with T-shirts and pizza.  Contact Lara Finklea (7th Grade) and Roy Lynn (6th Grade) to order and pay for T-shirts.
