A behind-the-scenes look at creative ways teachers connect with students on remote days. Thank you Mallory Normile (Broadway teacher) for showing us what it takes to get documents to show correctly on the screen! Laptop, computer, document camera, and a lovely set up! #WEareTIPP
Due to a sudden, significant increase in student and staff absences, Tipp City Schools will be implementing remote learning as defined in our Continuity of Learning Plan that is posted on the district website. The district will implement remote learning from Thursday, January 13th through Friday, January 21st. The district will still observe the early release schedule on Friday, January 14th, and the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday on Monday, January 17th.
During this time, all extra-curricular activities, including athletic practices and games, are canceled (from January 13th - Monday, January 17th). On Monday (1/17), we will assess the potential for practices to begin on Tuesday, January 18th.
We apologize for any inconvenience or hardship this decision places on families. If you have any questions, please contact your child's principal.
Can you help Tippecanoe High School reach its goal? THS is sponsoring a Sock Drive to benefit St. Vincent de Paul, a non-profit serving the homeless and impoverished in the Greater Dayton Area. Drop off new socks at the BOE or THS. #WEareTIPP #togetherweareextraordinary
Thank you Miami County Foundation for the lifesaving equipment. With your nearly $7,000 grant, the district purchased two Automated External Defibrillators, five replacement electrodes, and six AED wall cabinets with alarms. We appreciate your generosity! #WEareTIPP
The district has 14 new hands-free bottle filling stations thanks to Monroe Township Board of Trustees! The board appropriated nearly $30,000 in CARES Act Funds for Tipp City Schools to purchase the touchless water dispensers. #WEareTIPP #TogetherweareExtraordinary
Thank you to the Tipp City United Methodist Church for making a vision come to reality. The church recently collaborated with several others in our community to improve safety for our students who are traversing on and off the field at City Park. In collaboration with the City of Tipp City - Government, Tipp City Schools, Tipp Pride, and Tipp City Music Boosters , a concrete pad was poured to join sidewalks to the turf field. This makes it safer for the students and allows others (especially those requiring wheelchairs) to enter the field with confidence. Thank you to Dan Glover, Pastor at TCUMC; Greg Moehl, Family Ministry Pastor at TCUMC; Mike Chaney, Tippecanoe Music Boosters President and church member; Keith Lavy, Classic Concrete and church member; Tony Hunt, City of Tipp City. This is shining example of our community spirit!
The district's phone service has been restored. Thank you for your patience.
The phone lines for Tipp City Schools are not working. The district cannot place or receive outside calls. Frontier is working to restore service.
Approximately 135 guests enjoyed breakfast with Santa thanks to the Tippecanoe High School Business Professionals of American! Children received an early gift from Santa, heard carols sung by the THS choir, and worked on crafts. They even had the opportunity to write and hand deliver letters to Santa!
It is official. Have a wonderful winter break and a special holiday season. Students and teachers return on Monday, January 3, 2022! #WEareTIPP
Today Tippecanoe High School homebuilding teacher James Kitchen and two of his students presented the Tipp City Police Department and Tipp City Fire Department with a special holiday gift. Students enrolled in the THS Homebuilding Class handcrafted wooden flags made with 90-year-old reclaimed wood. Tenth grader Emma Hanrahan and her brother 12th grader Collin thanked the police officers and firefighters for their dedication, service, and commitment to the safety of our community. Part of Mr. Kitchen's mission is to encourage his students to always give back. We think he succeeded!
Tipp City Schools completed its safety drill that took place at Tippecanoe Middle School. The drill included the release of chemical fumes in the building. Students and staff evacuated the building. Police, fire, and rescue responded to the drill. Safety is a top priority for our students, staff, and community. Practicing scenarios, such as this, is an important step in ensuring they can react quickly and appropriately in an actual emergency.
At this time, Tipp City Schools is conducting an emergency safety drill as part of our preparedness plan. Local police, fire, and other emergency crews are responding to the incident. The district will provide updates when available. Thank you.
Today Miami County Animal Shelter in Troy presented Tippecanoe Middle School 8th grader Ava Hanrahan with a Certificate of Appreciation for her successful pet supply drive. Because of her leadership, strong organization skills, and the generosity of our community, she collected more than 700 items!! (Her goal was 50 donations.) On behalf of the shelter and commissioners, shelter manager Rob Craft expressed gratitude for Ava's community service project!
WDTN-TV interviewed THS freshman Carson Hughes and his mom(a pastor) to learn about their toy drive for the children of the tornado that leveled the city of Mayfield, Kentucky-their former hometown. New toys can be dropped off at our schools. Ends Thursday. #WEareTIPP
Broadway Elementary students packed their suitcases, grabbed their passports, and took off on a trip around the world. Third graders visited each classroom to learn about another country, how a winter holiday is celebrated elsewhere, and create a craft symbolic of the country's celebration. #WEareTIPP #holidaysaroundtheworld
A Tipp City family with students enrolled in our district previously lived in Mayfield, Kentucky, one of the hardest hit areas by the tornado over the weekend. They are collecting toys for families and plan to drive to Mayfield this weekend to deliver the gifts. Broadway, LT Ball, Tippecanoe Middle School and Tippecanoe High School are collecting new toys if you would like to donate. This is a quick turn around as all items need to be at one of the schools by the end of school on Thursday, December 16th. #WEareTIPP

Memories...a beautiful part of the holiday season. Thank you to our wonderful teachers who help our children create keepsakes such as this one made in kindergarten in 2004. Post in the comments a photo of a handmade ornament you cherish. #WEareTIPP #handmadetreasures
It is "buddy-the-elf-dress-like-your-coworkers day" at Tippecanoe High School. Don't they look fantastic? #WEareTIPP #buddytheelf
