Have you had the chance to download the Tecumseh Public Schools app? If not, it’s so easy to do.
Where to find the app:
• For Android: https://bit.ly/3oPn4BI
• For iPhone: https://apple.co/2LU0Obu
We’ve made some changes to the app. When you first load it, the ‘Home’ page features the ‘Live Feed’ and ‘Events.’ However, you know have the ability to make the app appear like the desktop version of the website. Just click ‘Menu’ and you’ll see the options bar. Click ‘Full Website’ and you’re good to go!
We also want to make sure you’re aware of the ‘Push Notifications’ feature. This feature keeps you in the loop when the district pushes out information through the app. That way you will not miss any updates from the district, like brand new stories, Live Feed updates, school closures and more.
For more information on the ‘Push Notifications,’ follow the steps on the attached graphic.

Welcome back, Sgt. Chad Rodgers!
Sgt. Rodgers from the Tecumseh Police Department returned to TPS as the district's Student Resource Officer earlier this week.
This is Sgt. Rodgers second stint serving Tecumseh Public Schools. He was the SRO for the district from January 2019 until this past spring.
Tecumseh High School had some special visitors stop by yesterday.
Monday was National Bird Day, so the Michigan Avian Experience brought a Great Horned Owl and a Bald Eagle to school.
The beautiful birds were brought to Christine Obeid’s art class for a drawing project. Artists had the opportunity to ‘draw from life’ as the birds were great drawing subjects.
The Great Horned Owl is aggressive and powerful in its hunting. It takes prey as varied as rabbits, hawks, snakes, and even skunks, and will even attack porcupines. However, the owl was a peach during its visit at THS.
Besides being the national bird of the United States and majestic in its appearance, it’s not always so majestic in habits. The Bald Eagle can be a powerful predator. After nearly disappearing from most of the U.S. decades ago, the bald eagle is now flourishing across the nation.
There's NO SCHOOL today (1/3) because of icy roads. We'll see you Tuesday (1/4)!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
