🚨 Safety Drills at TMS 🚨
Keeping our Patriots safe is always our top priority! Throughout the school year, Tavares Middle School conducts a variety of safety drills, including weather and other emergency preparedness drills.
If you are visiting campus during a safety drill—for a meeting, to check out a student, or for any other reason—you will be asked to participate in the drill.
If you arrive at the front office while a drill is in progress, please understand that you will need to wait until the drill has concluded before entering the office.
We appreciate your patience, understanding, and partnership as we work together to keep our students, staff, and visitors safe. 💙🇺🇸
Thank you for helping us make safety a priority!

Heading to any Tavares High School football games this season? Awesome! Just remember: all students must attend with a parent or adult guardian.

Welcome to the team, Ms. Colborne! 💙

Smile ready? 📸 School Picture Day is Sept 3! Dress your best and bring your brightest smile.

🎉 What a fantastic first day! 🎉
We loved seeing all our students walk through our doors today with bright smiles and excitement for the year ahead! We can't wait to see everyone again tomorrow for Day 2!
Here's to an amazing year together! 💙📚







🐠 FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! 🐠
This is YOUR middle schooler at 6 AM tomorrow morning... said no parent ever. 😂
But seriously, we're SO excited to welcome everyone back! Here are a couple of quick reminders for a smooth first day:
✅ Know your dismissal plan! Whether it's bus, car rider, walker, or parent pickup—make sure your student knows exactly how they're getting home. (Trust us, "I forgot" is not a fun phone call at 4 PM!)
✅ Double-check schedules together so you know your first period class. Don't know your first period teacher? We'll have staff ready to help!
Let's make this year AMAZING! See you bright and early! 🎒📚
