Dear Students
and Parents,
Thank you for
your careful course selections for the 2018-19 school year. We are
actively building the master schedule and wanted to share with you some of the
logistics of this process that you may see reflected in your schedules
over the coming months before school begins on August 27, 2018.
As we work on
the master schedule, we create certain building blocks of
courses--combinations of semester classes that allow us to schedule students
properly for the entire year. We call these blocks of courses
"placeholders". You may see some of your courses temporarily
replaced with these placeholders titled LEARNING SEMINARS. Rest
assured this is a building tool and not a change to your schedule. These
temporary placeholders will be removed once the schedule is complete and
you receive your final schedule in August.
We list below a table of placeholder assignments for your information:
Learning Seminar 3 = Research Statistics 1 & TJ Math 3
Learning Seminar 4 = Research Statistics 1 & TJ Math 4
Learning Seminar 5 = TJ Math 4 & TJ Math 5
Again, the placeholders are temporary and the original
course titles will be restored. If you have any questions or concerns, please
don’t hesitate to contact Mr. Kosatka and he will be happy to help.
The Office of Student Activities cordially invites you to our Freshman
Sports Preview Night on Wednesday, June 6th 7pm in the TJ Auditorium.
Before Freshman Preview Night. Our Athletic Trainer, Heather Murphy
will be scheduling VHSL Sports Physical
Examinations from 4:30-6:30pm. Students and parents will then
transition to the main gymnasium to meet our Coaches . This
is a great opportunity to meet the Student Activities Staff and learn more
about the TJ Athletic Program. Coaches of Fall, Winter and Spring seasons will
be available to answer any questions you have about their individual programs.
Thomas Jefferson supports 19 different varsity and sub-varsity sports.
This also great opportunity learn about the TJ Athletes Program and how you can
support the mission of the Colonial Athletic Boosters. The Colonial
Athletic Boosters are currently looking for more parent volunteers to join
our TJ Colonial Athletics Boosters team. Responsibilities include
organizing team liaisons and volunteers for athletic events and to raise funds
for the TJ Athletic Program.

Medical
professionals will perform the comprehensive physicals. The screening
will check height, weight, vision, posture, vital signs, upper and lower body
assessments and see the medical professional for clearance. Every athlete
needs a new athletic physical EVERY SCHOOL YEAR so, save a trip
to the doctor’s office and come out and support TJ Athletics.100% of the $50
fee goes right back to TJ athletics! This is a great way to ensure that you the
physical is completed before summer out-of-season practices start. EVERYONE
will need a new physical in order to participate after July 1st.

Volunteers
Needed for Physicals!
We need medical and non-medical
parents to help make the sports physicals a successful event! If you are
a physician (MD or DO), physician assistant (PA), physical therapist (PT) or
nurse practitioner (NP), please consider helping out with physicals on June 6th
. We also need non-medical parents who want to help with working a
station or check-in/out desk. Your expertise and a few hours of your
time will greatly benefit our TJ athletes! Free advertising for medical
professionals that help! Email heather.murphy@fcps.edu if you can help.
In an effort to try and support incoming families where they
have an older sibling who is currently or recently graduated from TJHSST we try
to assign incoming students to the appropriate IBET so that the family can have
a single point of contact and continue the established relationship that they
have with the older sibling’s counselor. If a family has an older sibling who
is currently enrolled or recently graduated from TJHSST and they would like us
to try and schedule their incoming 9th grader to that counselor’s
caseload we are asking that they make that request using the following Google
Form that we have created for that purpose.

If you have any questions, please contact your older
student’s counselor for guidance.
