We will either record the session or put up notes with answers. Even if you cannot attend you can ask questions ahead of time.

All parents, guardians, and students are invited to join the Mental Health Coalition, led by SGA and the student mental health group Minds Matter, which brings together students, administration, teachers, counselors and parents to coordinate mental health and wellness efforts for the TJ community. Video link available on the PTSA Google calendar. Meetings occur monthly on the 3rd Thursday, 4:30-5:30 PM.
Because it is the end of first quarter, teachers need time to complete grading and prepare for the start of second quarter. Therefore, students are released from instruction two hours early. Fifth period will continue to start at 8:40 a.m. Classes will be approximately 70 minutes in length and 8th period dismisses at 2:00 p.m.
The PSAT will be administered in person on the TJ campus to juniors who have registered. Our Assessment Coach Ms. Broadhead will continue to communicate logistics to families and students. Please be aware that October 29 remains an instructional day and it will be asynchronous for grades 9, 10, and 12. Students in grade 11 who do not take the PSAT that day will continue to work independently.

How do I get my teenager to talk to me? Why don’t they tell me everything? This 4-part, support-group-style discussion series based on The Power of Showing Up: How Parental Presence Shapes Who Our Kids Become and How Their Brains Are Wired, by Daniel Siegel, MD, and Tina Payne Bryson, PhD. Come learn why it is not about being a perfect parent, but a present parent. When we help our kids feel, Safe, Seen, Soothed, and Secure, we will hear their thoughts, feel their emotions, celebrate their successes, comfort their worries, and launch them into adulthood prepared to be independent and healthy.
You are not required to read the book, nor are you required to attend all sessions.
Parenting is hard. Life is busy. Join us virtually on Tuesdays as you are able.
