How can I help my child have a successful experience at THS?

THS is a large campus with many great opportunities for your child to be involved. Encourage your child to seek out different avenues of interest through classes, clubs, and organizations. This is the time to explore their interests.

How can I find out about these different opportunities?

Encourage your child to talk to friends, teachers and administrators. Be aware of campus announcements and visit the school website.

Your child will receive a progress report every three weeks and a report card every six weeks. These reports are found in Skyward under your child's profile. Please review the school calendar and ask your child for this information.
