What an exciting start to school! I have had a wonderful week with visits from several of my elementary students, had my picture taken by our digital media students, led chapel for our Middle and Upper Students, and enjoyed having students back on campus. Like everyone, I am excited about football season beginning at TRA!

Head of School Review CONTINUED Lastly, thanks to all of you for coming out for the Bash! The weather caused us to end early, but it’s always fun to see the whole community united together in fellowship. Thanks to all of our teachers, parents, vendors, and of course our fabulous new group of TRA Parent Ambassadors. We appreciate all of you for your help and support! RED & BLUE REVIEW | PAGE 2 August 18, 2022 We are looking for students in grades 3 5 who are interested in playing flag football! The teams will be split based upon age, if we have enough interest. The team will play in the ESCRA league and unfortunately we are under a really tight registration timeline. We must have registrations in by next Wednesday, August 24th. We also need coaches for the teams. If your son or daughter is interested in playing or you can help us by coaching a team, please contact our Director Tabias Hood at thood@rebelmail.net.
Upper School Review
The faculty and staff throughout the middle and high school are so grateful that you have chosen to place your trust in our team to provide for your children’s academic and spiritual growth throughout this next school year. Attending chapel today, I was overwhelmed by the vibrant sound of students lifting their voices in praise and worship together, and I am already thanking our Heavenly Father for the awesome Kingdom work that He will be doing in our lives throughout our school this year.
BY STEPHANIE WEHRER What a blessing it is to be back on campus for the start of another school year at Tipton-Rosemark Academy. We have so much to be thankful for, but especially for another opportunity to have an impact on the lives of so many young people during this academic year. We are excited to welcome back so many of our existing TRA students and families, and we are also excited to welcome for the first time so many new students and families to the school community. We are always aware that joining TRA is a choice for our families, it is a privilege and responsibility we do not take lightly

The beginning of school is always such a busy time, so be sure the check the school calendar often!
Upper School Review CONTINUED Stay tuned throughout the semester for some photos and news about the exciting things happening in our classes throughout both divisions. We have been able to add some new courses and welcome some new staff for the year, and I cannot wait to begin sharing a little of what is happening in those areas each week. Continue covering our school, its students, and our staff in prayer this year. The Lord blesses those who honor and glorify Him, and it is my prayer that throughout this year that every member of this school community remains focused on that important priority each and every day RED & BLUE REVIEW | PAGE 4 August 18, 2202 Upper & Middle School Back-To-School Night will be moved from September 1st to August 30 from 6:307:30 p.m. Spirit Wear Tomorrow! Students may wear a TRA t-shirt with their uniform bottoms.
BY SUSAN CRANFORD Please STAY in your car to unload and load. Assistants will help your child. If you need to buckle a child’s seatbelt, please just pull forward and do this before entering Rosemark Road. Come to a complete STOP and put your car in PARK when stopping to unload and load Assistants will come inside at 7:50 when the tardy bell rings Anyone that is still in line at 7:50 will need to park to come inside and sign their child in. Middle school students unload and load with the elementary students. Please pull all the way forward to load and unload. Please do not stop in front of the middle school. This holds up the line from moving forward and working efficiently. Please do not allow your child to hang out of the sunroof or window in the car line. Our students and teachers are so happy to be back at school! We are having a fun week getting to know each other and settling into new classrooms and routines. Our Pre K and Kindergarten classes are enjoying a single stagger day to gently adjust to the start of school. We look forward to seeing all the “littles” next week when they begin full time attendance. Please remember the following car line rules:

CONTINUED Late start Wednesdays will begin next Wednesday, August 24 School will begin at 8:30 so your child needs to be in class by 8:30 Ideally, students will stay home, get some extra rest and arrive at school between 8:15 8:30 If your work schedule does not allow for the extended time at home, you may drop off at regular time. We will have our assistants in car line during the regular hours of 7:15-7:50. If you arrive after 7:50, we will ask that you walk your child into the building. Our teacher assistants and auxiliary class teachers will supervise the students that arrive before 8:20. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and flexibility as we begin this new process.
