Dear TFSD #411 Parents, Students, Patrons, and Staff,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! As we embark on another exciting year, I hope you share our enthusiasm and anticipation for the months ahead. Our dedicated staff members are eager to welcome your children back to their classrooms and to kick off the new school year with energy and commitment.

If you have provided your email to the TFSD, you should receive the TFSD District Focus. In that edition publication, you will find essential information to help you and your family prepare for the start of school. This includes annual notices on important policies and procedures, links to school supply lists, information about registration and open houses, mental health support, and more. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your community school for assistance.
