Dear Trojans,

As we celebrate Father’s Day, we want to recognize and thank all of the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, guardians, and father figures who are part of our Tefft Middle School community.

The support, encouragement, and guidance you provide make a difference in the lives of our students every day. Whether you are helping with homework, attending school events, offering advice, or simply being there when it matters most, your influence helps shape confident, resilient, and successful young people.

At Tefft, we know that strong relationships and caring adults are at the heart of student success. We are grateful for the many ways you support our students and contribute to our school community.

On behalf of the entire Tefft Middle School staff, thank you for all you do. We hope you enjoy a well-deserved day of celebration with your family and loved ones.

Happy Father’s Day!

Proud of our Tefft Middle School team for earning U-46's These Boots Are Made for Walking award!

This recognition reflects our commitment to being present in classrooms, supporting our teachers, and focusing on the work that has the greatest impact on student learning. By spending time in classrooms, observing instruction, and providing feedback, we continue to learn from one another and strengthen our practices.

This award belongs to our entire staff. Our teachers work hard every day to create engaging learning experiences and build strong relationships with students. I am grateful for their dedication and the positive difference they make in the lives of our students.

Thank you to everyone who helps make Tefft a great place for all students to learn and all teachers to teach. This is a team accomplishment, and I couldn't be more proud.
