Principal’s Message
Greetings Parents, Students, & Staff,
Exciting TIMES at TCM: We are getting closer to our goals , but along the way our students are making a difference in the community as well as across
the nation. We are working towards excellence and as we quickly approach graduation. A few reminders as the year comes to an end:
1. Parents please encourage your child to apply themselves every day.
2. Encourage your child to practice his or her areas of weakness and to stretch for greatness.
3. The focus for all our students should be mastery in every discipline.
4. Follow-up and ask your child to show you his or her completed assignments.
5. Take advantage of the free tutoring sessions.
6. Inspire your child to work hard everyday and not make excuses because the university of life will not accept excuses.
7. Encourage your child to write down his or her goals.
8. Ask your child to track the number of hours he/she studies.
9. Ask your child to track the number of hours he/she uses social media or any other type of entertainment.
10. Ask your child is he or she working hard and do the grades reflect the amount of time he or she has worked.
11. Explain to your child the importance of being on time and this is his/her job.
12. Parents enjoy your child’s precious high school years because you only have this moment.
