Townsend School District

Update for the Bulldog Clubhouse after school program. We will start August 30th with M-Th hours 3:30 to 6:00 and Friday hours 2:30 to 5:00. Applications are available in the elementary office and online. Have a great week.

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
