Townsend School District

ATTENTION BULLDOG FANS!! Tonight we kick off the fall season with our Blue & White Scrimmages!! HS Volleyball starts @ 5:00PM in the 63 Gym, and HS Football starts at 6:00PM on Fandrich Field! While there are no current spectator limits/regulations related to covid (masks are optional), we need everyone to do their part to keep our students, staff and school safe and open. IF YOU ARE SICK, OR KNOW YOU MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED, PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND EVENTS!! We greatly appreciate your help to keep our activities on track!! Also, due to mass amounts of construction on and near the football field, the only entrance is the main gate on Cedar Street (Fandrich Arch). Here's to an awesome season...GO BULLDOGS!!

Welcome Back K-5!

From Mr. Racht: Middle School Students – when you arrive on the first day of school, please go to the football field side of the school near the blue sheds and bike racks. Staff will be out there to escort you in at 8:10. Due to construction, we will not enter directly into the MS building. Staff will be out there to bring you in. At that time, each grade level will go to a room where each student will receive a schedule and locker assignment. We are excited about being able to start the year in our newly remodeled MS wing. There is still construction going on in the connector between the MS and HS, so please be respectful of barriers and equipment and stay in our designated spaces.

This year Townsend Middle School will be utilizing electronic versions of the Student Handbook. Physical copies will be available for those who are interested in having one. Here is a link to the 2021 - 2022 Townsend Middle School handbook. https://5il.co/xkg9
