Our 25 - 26 staff is incredible. We started our year with a retreat at the Alta Lakes Observatory and this staff is ready to welcome your children back to school!!!

On day one:
  • MS students should report to the gym.
  • HS students should report to the Palm.

We asked that common supplies be dropped in the boxes in the front lobby on Monday or Tuesday morning.
Those attending orientation can drop at orientation. Other students can drop between 2 - 3pm on Monday.

We had send an outdated "Answers" please use the link below for all TMHS info.

Student Expectations

As I mentioned, Chris Murray, (Athletic Director & Assistant Principal) and I with either counselor Alex Jones (grades 7-9) or Jenni Ward (grades 10 - 12) will be visiting grade levels to review the handbook and expectations. You can look over these with your student to be prepared.

We focus on The Miner Way:
Respect
Responsibility
Integrity

Student Info

Access to schedules:
Since students cannot access their phones on campus we will be providing print outs for every student during first period. It will help if students write down their schedule prior to coming on Tuesday.

7th & 9th graders will receive schedules and chromebooks at orientation on Monday.
9th & new HS: @ 9:30
7th @ new MS @ 11

All 7th - 9th grade students use school issued chromebooks. Students who are unable attend orientation will receive their chromebook on day one. 8th grade students will be dismissed from the assembly on Monday a few minutes early to go to 1st period classes and get chromebooks.
Schedule Changes
There is a schedule change request form on schoology. We ask that if student have questions or concerns for Mr. Jones or Ms. Jenni to please send them a schoology message. They will not be meeting with students during class times.
