Tomorrow marks an important day for Northeastern Local Schools. We will have the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony tomorrow morning for the new Middle School/High School. Due to restrictions, it is not open to the public. A video will be shared with the community so everyone has an opportunity to view the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony.

Due to the continuance of COVID19, it has been decided to move the TMS 8th Grade Gun/Purse Raffle to an online event. Many area businesses have donated items that were to originally be auctioned off at the event. We will be changing our format slightly. All tickets will go into a drawing for ALL 50+ items including our guns and purses!! Once a name is drawn, it will be placed back into the bucket and could be drawn again! This drawing will be streamed on our Facebook Page on September 10th and winners will be posted on the Tinora Middle School website and Tinora Rams k-12 Facebook group after the drawing. If you win a prize, you may pick them up at the new Tinora Middle School office on September 14th from 5:00-7:00 p.m. If you are the winner of a gun, it must be picked up at County Line Firearms from Steve Flory. All proceeds from this event will go toward our 8th grade students traveling to Washington D.C. this spring. There are still tickets available!! If you would like a ticket, please contact Brady Woolace at bwoolace@tinora.org. Tickets are $50 for a chance of winning 40+ different prizes, 4 guns AND 4 purses!! That is a chance to win 50+ different prizes for just $50! We had hopes of continuing with this event as planned, but unfortunately circumstances do not allow it. If you purchased a ticket and no longer wish to be in the drawing, please contact Brady Woolace at bwoolace@tinora.org for a full refund.

We are looking forward to finally having our students back on campus. We have missed you! The attached documents outline the changes each building is making to help keep our students safe.

Tinora Open House will look different than in years past as we incorporate the COVID-19 precautions. We feel it is very important that you are able to come see your new building before the first day of school, but we all must practice good social distancing during this event. We ask that students bring no more than two adults and no younger siblings to the Open House. All attendees must wear a face covering. During our open house, you will have time to walk around the building, find your locker, and meet your teachers. We ask that you do not arrive early and exit the building at the end of your time to minimize the number of people in the building.
