Dear Secondary School Families:
Big Red Day 2024: Tamarac’s annual Big Red Day event is tomorrow! We are looking forward to a great turnout from our community. A reminder that middle school students do not need to be with a parent or guardian if they sign up in advance with their teachers. Go Bengals!
Calendar Update: At last night’s meeting the BOE approved a calendar change for Tuesday, June 4. The new Algebra I Regents exam aligned to Next Generation Learning Standards will be administered on June 4; classes will not be in session. We will be looking to provide 4th quarter support to students similar to what we just did during Regents exams this week.
SouperBowl: The PTSA looks forward to continuing their tradition of feeding district faculty and staff on the Friday before Super Bowl Sunday. This year they will be providing a variety of soups and treats but they need your help. Please click here if you are able to provide your time or a physical donation.
Blood Drive: Key Club is hosting a blood drive with The American Red Cross on Thursday, February 1st from 7:30-12:30 in the multipurpose gym. Students that are 16 must pick up a permission slip from me to be signed by their parents in order to donate. Anyone 17 and older can register to donate and do not need a permission slip. If you are interested in donating, you can sign up to donate with the following link:

Yearbook: Attention Class of 2024 students and parents/guardians. Don't miss out on the opportunity to have a personalized baby message in the yearbook. Families can design their own 1/8 page of the yearbook on the Jostens website. There are over twenty formats to choose from. Your message can include a picture or even two pictures. All messages cost $35. Messages are being sold until early February but there are a limited number of spots. You can design your message at jostensadservice.com/student
Sincerely,
Ken Rizzo
Secondary School Principal
