    Proposed Calendar Review

    We'd like to hear from you if you have any comments or questions on the proposed calendars, please email info@ttusd.org by Friday, January 18, 2019.

    ACADEMIC TALENT SEARCH-

    Are you interested in having your student take classes this summer at Sacramento State? The  Academic Talent Search is an opportunity for motivated students to challenge themselves in traditional and non-traditional subjects, meet other students and experience the collegiate environment. The first step towards participating in ATS is to take the qualifying exam on Wednesday, January 23rd. Students taking this test will automatically qualify for the ATS Summer Program at Sacramento State. For more information about the test, please stop by the office to pick up an information sheet and testing sign up form by Friday, January 18th.

    FIRST TRIMESTER HONOR ROLL BREAKFAST-

    Congratulations to the honor roll recipients!   All of us at ACMS believe in recognizing students for their positive accomplishments.  For the first trimester, we will celebrate all honor roll students with an honor roll breakfast. All of the certificates handed out will say, “Honor Roll,” rather than some saying, “Distinguished Scholar.”

    Honor Roll and Distinguished Scholar criteria will be the following:

    (1) Honor Roll: 3’s or higher in all courses, no 1’s in Citizenships/Work Habits, and no NP in their elective class

    2) Distinguished Scholar: students receiving all 3’s with a minimum of two 4’s in core content classes, no 1’s in Citizenships/Work Habits, and no NP in their elective class will earn Distinguished Scholar.  

    We are working on how we can celebrate student success beyond honor roll; we appreciate your patience as well as your input.   

    Dates for the honor roll breakfast reception:
    6th-Wednesday, January 16 from 7:40-8:30
    7th-Thursday, January 17 from 7:40-8:30
    8th-Friday, January 18 from 7:40-8:30

  • Dear Parent/Guardian,
    California recently launched the 2018 California School Dashboard, a website designed to help communities across the state access important data about K–12 districts and schools.

    The site features a wealth of information on test scores, graduation rates, school attendance, college/career readiness, and suspensions. The Dashboard is part of California’s new school accountability and support framework that is empowering local communities to address the needs of their local schools.
