TCSD middle school and high school bands will perform the annual spring concert on May 21st.  The Jackson Hole Middle School Bands will open the concert at 6:00 p.m. with a wide variety of entertaining selections.  You’ll hear music that features the whole group as well as certain sections of the band such as flutes, clarinets and percussion.  Along the way, the middle school bands will also perform familiar favorites including cartoon theme songs.

Next, the Jackson Hole High School Jazz Band will hit the stage.  They'll swing you into spring with an assortment of jazzy tunes made famous by the likes of Horace Silver, Rodgers & Hart, John Coltrane and Herbie Hancock.  Jazz band members will also have many opportunities to show off their impressive improvisation chops!

After the Jazz Band, the JHHS Concert Band will continue the show.  They'll start by reprising the selections that earned them their seventh consecutive Superior rating at the recent Wyoming Music Educators Association Southwest District Music Festival.  Other selections from the JHHS Concert Band's performance will include music from West Side Story and James Bond.

Admission is free, so come on out and enjoy a great evening of wonderful music performed by some of Jackson Hole's most talented young musicians!

During their Regular Meeting on May 8th, the TCSD Board of Trustees voted to reconfigure Alta Elementary School from its current kindergarten through 6th grade configuration to a kindergarten through 5th grade elementary school beginning with the upcoming 2019-2020 school year.

The week prior to the vote members of the board, along with Superintendent Gillian Chapman visited Alta Elementary to discuss the issue with families, get input and answer questions. 

The vote was taken after much public comment and board discussion.  The recommendation to reconfigure the school was based on enrollment trends and equity between TCSD elementary schools, with an emphasis on providing all 6th grade students common curriculum, activities and programming opportunities.
