Starting Monday, December 2, 2019, Pyle Avenue will be a one-way street during pick-up and dropoff times due to construction. All traffic on the south side of the school will need to enter Pyle Ave via Lindell Road and travel west along Pyle to campus. Drivers will then be required to take a right and be routed north on Jones Blvd. Please see the map below for a diagram of the traffic flow.

To assist with the impact this will have, campus will open to students at 7:15 AM for the duration of this project. Please consider dropping students off early or on the north side of campus since Jo Rae Avenue will remain a two-way street during this time.

This is Dr. O reminding you our Cash for Classrooms fundraiser started yesterday and runs through Friday, October 18th. Students will receive various prizes and each student that raises $50 or more will attend a Staff versus Students Basketball Game on Tuesday, October 22nd during 6th period. Ninety percent of all donations go directly to classrooms. This breaks down as 10% going to our vendor, 10% going to your child's Mentorship teacher, and 80% going to teachers by being divided equally between the various departments at Tarkanian. Visit https://tarkanian2019.pledge-drive.net/Campaign/Details/1665 to view the Classroom Wish List and to search for your student's donation page.

Thanks,

Dr. O
