Happy Thanksgiving!!

I am so thankful and grateful for the TAGOS family. We have a dynamic team that is dedicated to serving you and your children. We have a governance board that cares and is committed to helping us grow, not only in number, but also in our academic success. Finally, we have incredible students who dive deep into their projects, give back to our community with their time and talents, make good choices, and strive to be good human beings.

I am thankful for the freedom and the education we receive here at TAGOS. We have so much more luxuries and opportunities than I ever got in any other schools, and for me personally, it inspires me to be at my best as much as I can. I feel like the teachers are constantly working hard to discipline each and every one of us to be much better, more mature individuals. The environment and styles of learning we have at this school have made me a much better, more educated person than I ever was before (Michael).

I'm thankful for all of my friends in this new school (Anonymous).

One of Shine Technologies' core beliefs focuses on diversity and inclusion. Its owners want everyone to feel included. One way they address this is to give back to the community. With help from Cheryl Peterson, their community and employee engagement manager, and other staff, Shine Technologies provided 129 books to our middle schools in the Janesville School District. The books not only promote literacy, but the selected titles also espouse diversity.

Thank you, Shine Technologies, for your gift to our students!

MEET TIM RIDING
Tim Riding is our new school counselor. Tim graduated from Carthage College in 2014 with a Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology. He went on to earn a Master's of Education in School Counseling from DePaul University in 2018. Though he hasn’t been doing it long, he has loved being a school counselor from his very first days as an intern in 2017. He has a passion for helping students grow and meet their potential. He enjoys getting to know all of the students as individuals and being a resource for them through the turbulent time that is adolescence. His favorite part of being a school counselor is the opportunity to have a positive impact on the students that he works with and the school he works within. He is looking forward to being a part of TAGOS and getting to know all of the students in order to meet their academic, social-emotional, and college/career needs.

Student Employment: We conducted a survey to see how many of our students maintain employment and where they work. We sent the survey to 32 9th-12th graders with 31 responding. As the graph indicates, 35.5 percent of our students work outside of school.

Survey conducted by Aeris Gonzalaz.
