Dear TA Families,

Sharing the latest school news as we move into the second half of the school year …

School Events:

• The 10th grade invites students to a Hollywood-themed dance tonight in the TA gymnasium from 7-9pm to kick off the new semester. The event is a fundraiser for the class of 2027 and promises to be a fun event for all. Open to grades 7-12. Tickets cost $6 or $5 with a costume. Concessions and raffle tickets will also be for sale. 
• We are looking ahead to our annual Founders’ Day event on Feb. 7 (and Founders’ Night that evening). More details to come. 

On the Academic Front:

• Students should be settling into their new routines and schedules by now, as the week comes to a close. If families have any questions about their student’s courses, please reach out to your child’s counselor (Molly Dugan-Sullivan for grades 7-9, Mark Pichette for grades 10-12). 
• Report cards for 2nd quarter / fall semester will be sent out via Alma next week. 
• Reminder for juniors and their parents: College Planning Session on Monday 1/27, 6pm. (Read more here.) 

Extracurriculars:

• Wishing lots of speed, distance, and strength to the indoor track athletes who compete in the state championships at UVM on Sunday.
• The alpine ski team’s season is off and running with races at Pico and Bromley next week. 
• We have another string of home games for basketball next week. Come to TA on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday evening to enjoy a game.
