HTL students will be immersed in STEM and career exploration activities and programming from the first days of Kindergarten to high school graduation. HTL University will provide high school graduates with opportunities to graduate with their high school diploma PLUS their choice of industry credentials, associate or TCAT degree, course credit toward a bachelor’s degree, or a guaranteed apprenticeship. Additionally, HTL University will inform families of potential career opportunities in the area and coordinate adult learning opportunities for those who desire to complete higher education.
Dear parents and guardians,
We kindly request you to have important discussions with your children regarding the importance of not bringing toy guns or any dangerous household items to school, as well as refraining from making threats towards other students. It is crucial to understand that inappropriate items and threats can lead to fear and confusion among students, ultimately disrupting the learning environment. To maintain a safe atmosphere for everyone, it is necessary to remind your child that bringing such items to school or on the bus can result in severe consequences, in accordance with school board policy and TN state law.
At Ripley Elementary, we take immense pride in providing a secure learning environment for all of our students. Therefore, we ask for your cooperation in having these conversations with your child, as it will greatly assist us in ensuring that they can focus on their academic goals without any distractions.
Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in creating a positive and conducive educational experience for our students.
Sincerely,
Ripley Elementary School Administration
