TISD Staff Trip
The Timpson ISD teachers traveled to WalMart in Nacogdoches last week. Each teacher got to purchase two hundred dollars of student and instructional supplies for their classrooms. Following the shopping, staff enjoyed a meal together at Clear Springs and Auntie Pasta’s before returning to school. The teachers express their appreciation to the administration and school board for making the trip possible.
TMS Volleyball News
Lady Bears and Parents,
This year we are faced with a unique situation. Our first JH volleyball game is also the first day of school. On Monday, August 28th the JH Lady Bears will travel to Carlisle for our first game of the season. JH athletes are not allowed to practice prior to the first day of school, so that first day is going to be hectic.
To be able to travel with the team and compete, we must have physicals and all paperwork turned in prior to leaving. There are forms available on the UIL website at uiltexas.org. We must have the physical form, Sudden Cardiac Arrest form, Concussion Acknowledgment form, and steroid agreement form signed by the student and parent prior to being able to participate. These forms were sent home last spring.
Students who are going to be ih graders must have a physical completed by a medical professional prior to any activity. If you traveled to Nacogdoches with the school last spring and received a physical, then you have completed all necessary paperwork. Students who are going to be gth graders, must fill out the front page of the physical form and have it on file, along with the medical forms from the UIL website prior to competing.
If there are any questions, need help finding the forms, or want to know if I already have your forms, please do not hesitate to email me at jjourden@timpsonisd.com or call my office at 936-558-4210.
Please leave a message if there is no answer and I will get back to you as soon as possible. We are very excited about this year for all TLB Athletics, and are ready to jump right in! I have included a JH game and practice Schedule in this letter, and once again, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
Thanks,
TLB Coaches
