Thank you, Lake County, for continuing to support school safety and student mental health, and for showing our teachers how much their hard work is appreciated! We asked for your help, you came through, and we are grateful.
Tavares Middle School families and community members, we need your help to keep our PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support) program thriving!
At TMS, students earn Star Bucks by demonstrating positive behavior, responsibility, respect, and academic effort. They can cash in their hard-earned Star Bucks at our campus store for rewards, school supplies, snacks, and fun incentives.
To keep our store stocked and our students motivated, we are accepting donations of items for our Star Bucks Store.
Check out our wish list. These items can ship directly to the school.

You can also drop off similar items to the main office. Just mention they are for PBIS.

Peek Inside the Classroom! Math review with Mrs. Flint's students and a comparison of central ideas with Mr. Von Maxey.
Hard work deserves to be celebrated! We are so proud of our students who earned A and A/B Honor Roll! Keep reaching for those goals, Patriots! ❤️🤍💙
A HUGE thank you to Oak Wood Eustis and Eustis Sonic for helping us recognize and reward our students with special incentives. Your generosity and support make celebrating our students even more special! ⭐
Reminder for staff and families:
There will be NO SCHOOL on Veterans Day, Wednesday, November 11. 🎖️💙

STATE CHAMPS!! Let's Go!!!
Congratulations to our runners and coaches! ❤️🤍💙
🚌❤️ A LITTLE LOVE FOR OUR AMAZING BUS DRIVERS!
Our bus drivers are some of the very first faces our students see each morning. They do so much more than get our Patriots from point A to point B. They welcome our students, look out for them, keep them safe, and help start each day on the right foot.
Thursday morning, our Tavares Middle cheerleaders showed our drivers some extra love with handmade signs, pom-poms, and plenty of Patriot spirit! 📣
To our drivers, thank you for your kindness, early mornings, late afternoons and all the little things you do that often go unnoticed. ❤️🤍💙
