Earning a hole punch each six weeks is not easy, but these Tigers have risen to the occasion.

On Monday, Mrs. Ward had the pleasure of presenting the 5th Six Weeks Tiger Lanyards to our elementary students. Her favorite part was calling out six students who earned their first hole punch of the year! Great job, Tigers!

Coach Sisk had a great turnout for her Title III Family Literacy Night despite the continued rain! Her students got to show their parents how they have progressed on Summit and learn more about the TELPAS test they took last month.

Tenaha ISD has checked our routes and will proceed with school today on a normal schedule. Spring pictures, however, will be rescheduled for another day.

Due to the inclement weather and loss of power at the school, Family Literacy Night for our Hispanic speaking families has been postponed until tomorrow evening at 4pm.

Hey TIGERNATION! Don't forget that tomorrow is SPRING PICTURE DAY! Every student will take a photo that will be available for you to view on www.traditionsportraits.com. Order forms were sent home last week with your students as well. We will also be taking Elementary Class photos and our remaining sports photos: Track & Tennis. See the attachments below for FAQ's regarding purchasing and viewing your photos!
