Tecumseh Public Schools

There will be NO SCHOOL for Tecumseh Public Schools on Tuesday, January 16! This is because of dangerously low temps overnight and icy road conditions. There will be no childcare. Stay informed about TPS sporting events and other scheduled Tuesday events via our social media pages.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day stands alone as the sole federal holiday recognized as a National Day of Service, urging every American to engage in volunteer activities for the betterment of their communities. Over the past 25 years, the MLK Day of Service has experienced significant growth, with its influence expanding as more Americans adopt the belief that true citizenship entails actively contributing to community improvement. #MLKDay

In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, there will be no school on Monday, January 15. Enjoy the long weekend, and stay warm!

Tecumseh Public Schools will move to a half-day schedule for ALL students on Friday, January 12, 2024. The move is because of the expected winter weather beginning Friday afternoon. All after-school activities and sporting events are canceled for Friday. Half-day release schedule: Sutton Early Learning Center - 11:40 am Tecumseh Acres Early Learning Center - 11:45 am Herrick Park and Patterson Intermediate Learning Centers - 11:55 am Tecumseh Middle School - 10:50 am Tecumseh High School - 11 am Tecumseh Preschool - 11 am

The Tecumseh High School Counseling Department is excited to host a Federal Student Aid night. Our counselors will discuss the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This is for THS Seniors and their families. The meeting will be held on Thursday, January 11, at 6 pm in the THS cafeteria.

In November, Tecumseh High School and the District came together to host the "We Salute" Ceremony in the Sculpture Garden, honoring our veterans on Veteran's Day. For part of the ceremony, 80 yard signs were sold to families, providing a meaningful way to honor their loved ones who served or are currently serving. The signs were placed along the amphitheater seating in the garden. Each yard sign sold contributed $10 to the THS Sculpture Garden Committee. Alongside an additional $100 in cash donations, the committee proudly presented $900 to the Lenawee Veterans Dire Needs Fund! Thank you to everyone who participated in the ceremony and contributed to this wonderful cause. Your support makes a significant impact! #WeSalute #honoringveterans

During Winter Break, our maintenance, custodial, and technology teams, in collaboration with contracted partners, enhanced our buildings. They performed deep cleaning, essential maintenance on roofs, installed Preschool fixtures, executed crucial network updates, repaired security cameras (ensuring that all cameras are now operational in every building), and completed various other tasks. Additionally, the District efficiently repurposed sections of the retired Indian Stadium field turf, which has been installed in the barn at Tecumseh High School. This will provide a year-round use for student-athletes and potentially additional uses. Thanks to volunteers' collaborative efforts and fundraising, this installation was achieved at no extra cost to TPS. Thank you to our maintenance, custodial, and technology teams for their dedicated efforts during the break to ensure our buildings were prepared for the return of our students and staff. #buildingupdates #returntoclass

Hopefully, everyone had a great holiday and restful Winter Break. We'll see you on Monday, January 8.

A special shout-out to several members of the District. Thank you to Joe Bundas (TMS teacher), Josh Mattison (Director of Operations), and Mary Tommelein (BOE Secretary), for graciously representing Tecumseh Public Schools during a special event before Christmas. The trio, along with other community members, took part in Bagging for a Difference at Jerry’s Market. They bagged groceries, and all the tips they received were donated to Lenawee Cares. Jerry’s Market also matched 100% of the tips! All the funds went towards the Lenawee Cares campaign for basic needs in the community. Thank you to everyone who took part and helped out!

Before Winter Break, a group of volunteer band musicians from TPS spread some Christmas cheer at The Fieldstone at Tecumseh Places. The group, led by Joe and Kellie McInchak, performed a medley of holiday tunes, engaged with residents, and presented them with lovely poinsettia plants. 🎶🌲🎁

Happy New Year! #happynewyears #tecumsehpublicschools

Recently, Ape Forge took our Patterson Intermediate Learning Center 4th-grade classrooms on a fantastic journey of creativity and innovation! The Ape Forge team sparked inspiration by challenging our students to think outside the box and develop innovative solutions to a shared challenge. The highlight? The students worked together to design a unique logo, showcasing their problem-solving skills and unleashing their creative expression! Ape Forge believes in empowering young minds, and our 4th graders rose to the occasion. Ape Forge is a dynamic service firm with expertise in crafting websites, eCommerce platforms, mobile apps, social media management, and print and graphic design. Kudos to all the students who embraced this creative challenge. #mobileapps #digitalinnovation #TechInnovation

What a fun night of board games at Tecumseh Acres Early Learning Center! Hosted by Tecumseh Acres music teacher Jesus Sanchez, second-grade students who signed up for the game night had a blast. During the two sessions, students engaged in exciting games such as Rhino Hero, Magic Mountain, Ubongo Junior, Catch the Moon, Mole Rats in Space, and more! It was a wonderful experience, and we appreciate Mr. Sanchez for embracing this idea and turning it into a reality, especially as we approach the Winter Break. #GameNight
