TRHS Back to School Night

Wednesday, August 14th from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM


Dear Tongue River High School Parents and Students,


I hope this communication finds everyone very well and having lots of family fun this summer.  The TRHS Team is excited to welcome you to the 2024-25 school year.  As such, we have scheduled an opportunity to bring together parents, guardians, students, and teachers at this year’s Back-to-School Night which has been set for Wednesday, August 14th from 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM.  The format will be similar to previous years.


In an effort to inform everyone of the back-to-school “need-to-knows”, we ask that you participate in four, twelve minute “mini-classes” which will take place from 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM.  Bells will ring and passing periods will be three minutes.  The outline for each parent class is below.  Students will be given their class schedules during your visit to Station #4 with our counselor, Mr. Vance.  As always, please email me if you have any questions.
