All 9th graders: Just a reminder to have your chrome books charged and ready to go for tomorrow's English 1 field test. The test is at most 13 questions long including one extended constructed-response question. This test shouldn't take more than 2 hours and we will resume our regular classes with 6th period. We will begin the test no later than 8:30 am. Please come prepared and check the testing room assignments posted on campus by the breezeway, 200 hall, 300 hall, & cafeteria.
Just another extraordinary Friday in the Nest!

We hope to see all Seniors and their parents who have not already applied for FAFSA there!
Today or tomorrow your student should be bringing home an opt out form. This only needs to be returned by February 5th if you choose for your student to not participate in responding to 2 surveys about their teachers chosen randomly.

Hey Owl Family! It's getting chilly out there! Our Booster Club is gathering warm drinks for our teaching staff. Please help keep our teachers warm by donating coffee and supplies for the teachers lounge. It can be grounds, packets or k-cups. Any flavor, any brand works. Flavored creamers, hot cocoa, and apple cider are much appreciated as well. Thanks for helping show them we appreciate & love them!
The junior student of the month is Daniel Tierrablanca. His teachers say he has worked extremely hard and made excellent grades at TJC. This next semester he will be taking classes on his non-TJC days to complete an upper level Math course. Great attitude. So willing to help others.
Congratulations Daniel!
please join us in celebrating our so very deserving Teacher of the Year, Ms. Lisa Ellis!
