May 25, 2017 - Timpson ISD Bear Update
Graduation Parking
Due to construction, the Timpson High School parking lot will be partially closed during graduation. The elementary parking lot and gates will be open to the gym. The middle school parking lot will be open and gates will be open to the gym. Handicap parking will be accessible at the Timpson Middle School. Both middle school and high school graduation will be in the THS gym.
If it is raining, umbrellas will be a must. Some sidewalks do not have covers from elementary. You may still park in the open portion of the high school lot but you will have to walk around the front of the construction area. There will be staff situated for assistance. Thank you for your patience while we work through the construction process.
Teacher Spotlight
Mrs. Suzanne Tomlinson is a math teacher at Timpson High School. This year she teaches Algebra I and Algebra II. She has taught in Timpson for 17 years. Mrs. Tomlinson’s favorite part of her job is working with the students.
In fact that is why she insisted on taking her picture with students. They are why she does what she does. She stands at her door each period and greets each student who enters her classroom with a hello and big smile. She wants each student to know they are welcomed in her classroom. She is also great at building relationships with students that reflects her belief in the quote, “Students don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”
Mrs. Tomlinson’s classroom is fast paced and lively which helps keep students focused and interested. She involves students in the lesson to ensure they are understanding the skills she is teaching. She has changed math students’ attitudes toward math from a subject they found difficult and boring to one they understand and find interesting. She incorporates a variety of strategies into her presentation using technology, hands on activities and ways to give “real life” lessons that require math skills in order for students to apply what they learn to their everyday life outside the classroom. She makes every effort to be the kind of teacher she would want for her own son, Cash, a Timpson Elementary School second grader. Mrs. Tomlinson has been a class sponsor and enjoys being a UIL Academic Coach. She is also a past Shelby County Chamber of Commerce Secondary Teacher of the Year.
Thank you Mrs. Tomlinson for your energy, dedication and support to our students.
