Tomball Independent School District Home

Dear Tomball ISD Family,

 

The longer days and warmer temperatures may seem like the only familiar signs that this school year is nearing the end.  I don’t think any of us could have ever imagined how this situation would unfold and all of the thousands of answers that had to be found for questions never before asked. I am always proud of our community for being so close-knit and striving for the same goals; but words truly cannot express how especially proud I am of the exceptional work you have done during these trying times as teachers, parents and students.

 

I am so thankful to our families for their cooperation and participation while we navigated these unknown waters and found alternatives to providing them instruction, resources, and even meals.  It truly has been a team effort and forms the very essence of what TEAM TOMBALL is all about!

 

It was simply amazing to witness the dedication and creativity with which our Tomball ISD community swiftly came together to meet the needs of our students.  Within a week of the closure announcement, families were provided online remote engagement activities and quickly trusted us in the process. We are especially proud to have served our families through meals and device distributions and by the end of March, this community was in full stride and has since then, continued to quickly adapt to changes being made each day. As a District, we conquered challenges, the unknown and created a new approach to learning, all while maintaining a safe and healthy lifestyle within our community.

 

Tomball ISD is a place that values teamwork, preparation, rigor, creativity, and collaborative problem solving.  Our excellent condition, culture, structures, and traditions all played a role in seeing us finish out yet another successful school year and will guide us into our reopening next fall.   

 

At this time of year, I usually have particular examples of student performances to highlight as an example of our success.  However, this year our success reaches beyond what we expected and attributes to your amazing response, commitment, and teamwork; the engagement of our students and the incredible responsibility they and their parents undertook to complete so much at home, and the tireless hours Team Tomball put in sitting at their home offices and kitchen tables at all hours of the day. 

 

Every day we are provided more information and guidance about planning for next school year.  We can all assume that there will be new and different things, but there will be solutions in which Tomball ISD develops that ultimately meet the challenges Tomball ISD will face.  I know for certain that those are solutions we can trust.  You all just proved it!

 

Wishing you all the best for a safe and restful summer break and very much looking forward to seeing you soon.

 

Dr. Martha Salazar-Zamora
