TMS Absence Guidelines
If your student(s) will be late or absent, please be sure to contact the office or enter the absence into Skyward. You can do this via email at braytonm@tenino.k12.wa.us, or by calling 360-264-3600.
If they have an appointment, please be sure to ask the provider for an excusal slip to turn in to the office. That way, you won't need to park when you drop them off at school. On the other hand, please remember to call the office every day that they are absent during a multi-day illness.
Multi-Day Absence Request
If you are planning to be out of town for multiple days due to a family trip, be sure to complete the Pre Arranged Absence Form. This form need to be taken around to all of your child(rens) classes and be signed off before they are out. Just give the office a call and we will be happy to provide one for your kiddo to take around to teachers. Just remember that the parent will need to fill out the top portion of the form. There is specific criteria that excuses an absence.
We appreciate your help in this matter.

No energy drinks on campus at TMS this year. Let's make healthy choices.


Hi TMS Families,
A big change for the 25-26 school year at TMS is that energy drinks are no longer allowed on campus. If a student is found with an energy drink the drink will be disposed of.

Hello TMS Families! Want to get a jump on next year's school supplies? See the attached list to take advantage of those Pre-Fall sales before the start of school. Have a lovely summer everyone!


Mrs. Suydam has worked in Tenino since 1995 where she began as a student helper. The following year, she spent some time as a part time school secretary and sub before moving into a full time school secretary position, where she has been ever since!
Mrs. Suydam says that it has been an honor to be a part of so many students going through the school all these years. She’s going to miss watching the growth that happens in middle school, although sometimes difficult, it’s an amazing transformation.
Her plans for retirement and the future include travel, family, friends, fun, and relaxation! We wish you all the best in this next phase of life!🫶🌿✈️
