As winter approaches, TEMS is inviting students to signup for the library during indoor activities! The library offers a variety of board games, puzzles, and Legos for an entertaining experience. Apart from that, the Library provides a space for students to relax and have casual conversation. Students can also sign up for the gym and art rooms.

If you are a parent of an eighth grader, you should have received communication regarding your child's transition to Conestoga High School. Teachers and counselors will introduce your students to available courses and guide them through the upcoming course selection process. Parents are encouraged to participate in meetings and orientation sessions provided by the school to support their child's transition.
