Winter is in full swing and we are ready to take on the second half of the school year. The first half of the year saw the opening of the new Tallmadge Middle School and the Tallmadge High School Athletic complex. The second half of the year will be just as memorable, especially for our young students, with the opening of the new Tallmadge Elementary School in March 2020.
As the construction nears its completion, we have been working to help our K-5 students and teachers prepare for success in the new building through model 21st-century classrooms that have been established at both Munroe and Dunbar. These model classrooms helped us determine what works best so that we have the right tools, resources and state-of-the-art security features in place when the new building opens.
I would also like to thank the community members who attended our recent open house and dedication ceremony at our new Tallmadge Middle School. It was very exciting to be able to show off the new building to the community that continues to support us and makes these new facilities possible. If you were unable to attend the open house, I hope you will be able to visit all of the new facilities in the near future by attending a sporting event, play, concert or other event.
Now that we are entering 2020, we're looking to our teachers, staff, parents and community to help perfect our vision: "Tallmadge is a collaborative community that empowers every student." You can help by getting involved. Whether that is through volunteering or just being present in a student's life, it all makes a difference! Thank you for your continued support.
LET’S GO BLUE DEVILS!
