Have you had the chance to download the Tecumseh Public Schools app? If not, it’s so easy to do. Where to find the app: • For Android: https://bit.ly/3oPn4BI • For iPhone: https://apple.co/2LU0Obu We’ve made some changes to the app. When you first load it, the ‘Home’ page features the ‘Live Feed’ and ‘Events.’ However, you know have the ability to make the app appear like the desktop version of the website. Just click ‘Menu’ and you’ll see the options bar. Click ‘Full Website’ and you’re good to go! We also want to make sure you’re aware of the ‘Push Notifications’ feature. This feature keeps you in the loop when the district pushes out information through the app. That way you will not miss any updates from the district, like brand new stories, Live Feed updates, school closures and more. For more information on the ‘Push Notifications,’ follow the steps on the attached graphic.

The American Red Cross is in urgent need of blood donations. The non-profit organization says they’re heading into Christmas with its lowest blood supply in more than a decade at this time of the year. That’s because of low blood donor turnout in recent months. Here’s the thing, you can help out. Usually there’s a blood drive always happening in your area. On Friday, December 10th, Tecumseh High School will be hosting one. The blood drive begins at 9am and will run until 2pm. The blood drive is open to students 17 and older as well as the public. Students who are age 16 may also donate but will need parent/guardian permission. Those forms can be found at the main office of THS. We also ask that you schedule an appointment ahead of time. Just remember, a pint of blood can save three lives! 🏫: Tecumseh High School 📍: 760 Brown Street, Tecumseh, MI 49286 ⌚: 9am-2pm To schedule an appointment ⬇ https://www.redcrossblood.org/

Happy Thanksgiving from Tecumseh Public Schools! Enjoy the long holiday weekend. We'll see you Monday!
