Welcome to Timber Ridge Middle School Daily Announcements. These announcements are meant to be a communication tool between you and Timber Ridge.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
"VIRTUAL BACKPACK" FLIER SYSTEM: District 202 is "going green" - and saving "green" for staff and the community - by changing the way it distributes materials from outside organizations to students and staff. This fall, District 202 will implement a "Virtual Backpack" material distribution system that will let parents view, download and print fliers from non-profit organizations through the Internet. District 202 disseminates fliers for non-profit organizations as a service to the community. Families without computers are encouraged to visit a local library to view fliers through the new online system. Hard copies will also still be available in schools' main offices, and posted on Community Bulletin Boards in each school for those families without Internet access. For more information please visit the district website. www.psd202.org
