Thank You ONE TROY

Thank you Baker Family for your support with the passage of the 2022 Bond Proposal. This investment will improve our student's experience in Safety & Technology, Future-Ready Learning Environments, Infrastructure & Sustainability, and Program Enhancements.

Wellness Weekend

Thanksgiving Break: Wednesday, November 23rd - Sunday, November 27th

It is easy to get caught into the cycle of all work and no play with the increased demands on our professional and personal lives. Our students also face similar demands and stressors. Prolonged stress can have a negative impact on our physical and emotional health.

Proper self-care is important and includes taking the time to unwind and destress. We are encouraging a Wellness Weekend Wednesday, November 23rd through Sunday, November 27th. Please take this time to set auto reply on your email, refresh, relax, unwind and enjoy a well-deserved Thanksgiving break with family and friends.

End of the 1st Marking Period

The First Marking Period ended on Thursday, November 3rd. Report cards are now available in the parent portal. The report card can be viewed from the Report Card Icon on the left menu of the PowerSchool Parent Portal.
