Townsend School District

Our goal at Townsend Schools is to continue to provide in-person education while still protecting our students, staff, and families. Until all school staff members have the opportunity and availability to complete the entire vaccination process, we will continue to require that masks be worn in our buildings and at our school activities. We truly thank our students and community for helping us through this by wearing face coverings. We appreciate the cooperation and support we have received in all our efforts to safely remain open. Please help us by continuing to cooperate with our mask requirements.

Getting our poetry recitals on in Mr. O’Dell’s freshman English classes this week...well done!! 😃🙌🏻
