TMS Policies & Procedures

It is the parents' responsibility to contact the TMS office at 815-230-9920 when your child will be absent from school. If you want homework sent home or left in the office, please let us know when you call in the student's absence. Our policy states that students who have not been called in by an adult will have an unexcused absence on their record. Learning builds day by day. A child who misses a day of school misses a day of learning. 

All students who leave the school early or are picked up from school are required to be signed out in the office by an adult.  Please be prepared to show your photo ID. Unless it is an emergency, we must have a note from the parent at the start of the school day. If your child is to be picked up at the end of the school day, he/she can be signed out at the front east doors.  If your child is to be picked up early, he/she will need to be signed out in the office.

Parents of Pre-School, Kindergarten, and New Students, please remember we need proof of immunizations and a recent physical on file before the first day of school. Students will be excluded from school without these. Please refer to page 23 of the Parent/Student Handbook for additional information.

Student Drop Off/Pick Up Procedures at Troy Middle School

In order to have a safe student drop-off and pick-up at Troy Middle School, we must follow the procedures below.  This will be a drop and go.  All students must wait in their vehicles until signaled to exit by a TMS staff member. Please do not wait for your child to enter the school building. We will get your child safely into the school. If you have a child at TMS and WBO, you must drive your child to each school that he/she attends. Due to construction and bus drop off, you may not drive between the schools through the District Office parking lot.

 

AM Drop Off

• Please enter the TMS parking lot by turning south on Wesmere Parkway, and then right (west) on Kimberly Drive into Parking Lot A. Please follow the directional arrows and cones to the right (counter clockwise) around the parking lot. Cars are not allowed to turn into the bus lane off Theodore Street.
• Please make sure that your child is seated on the passenger side of the vehicle. 
• When you approach the student drop off zone, do not have your student exit the vehicle. Beginning at 7:15 AM, a TMS staff member will signal your vehicle to let you know that your child may exit the vehicle. 
• Students may be dropped off beginning at 7:15 AM. Students should enter the building through Door 2. Please do not wait for your child to enter the building. Staff members will be present to supervise students in the cafeteria until they are dismissed to their lockers and homerooms.

 

PM Pick Up Procedures

• Please enter the TMS parking lot by turning south on Wesmere Parkway, and then right (west) on Kimberly Drive into Parking Lot A. Please follow the directional arrows and cones to the right (counter clockwise) around the parking lot. Cars are not allowed to turn into the bus lane off Theodore Street.
• Please note that students will be released beginning at 2:20 PM. Please wait for your child in your vehicle. Be cautious of students in crosswalks and other vehicles.

School-issued picture IDs are to be worn by students on a lanyard, preferably issued by the school, at all times. In an attempt to promote greater student accountability for bringing their IDs to class on a daily basis, Troy Middle School will be charging $5.00 for lost student identification cards. Student IDs are important for identification purposes as well as for purchasing lunch and checking out library books on a daily/weekly basis.

All TMS students receive a picture ID at the beginning of the school year. Students will be required to purchase a new ID card for $5.00 in the library in the event that they lose their initial ID.

If students do not pay this fee, parents will be sent notification of the number of IDs their child has been required to purchase and be charged the corresponding amount on a monthly basis. This amount is required to be paid promptly; if it is not paid, the Troy School District will utilize a collection agency to collect unpaid fees. Fines charged go directly to the replacement costs for student IDs and lanyards. Student lanyards may be purchased individually for $1.00

Please be aware that Troy Middle School follows the Troy School District Dress Code (refer to the Student/Parent Handbook). If your child is not properly dressed, he or she may be sent to the Assistant Principal's office and you may be notified to bring in another set of clothing.
