Bulldog families,
Late this afternoon, one of our athletes received a threat of violence, and after consultation with local law enforcement, Wortham ISD and Axtell ISD
jointly decided to postpone the JV and Varsity basketball games in Axtell this evening and err on the side of safety for students, staff, and fans.
This game will be rescheduled for a later date.

Parent Letter
The Texas Retired Teachers Association (TRTA) and its charitable partner organization, the Texas Retired Teachers Foundation (TRTF) are offering online tutoring FREE to all students in Texas public schools. Please help TRTA spread the word to your students!
THE DETAILS
- TRTF Tutor Program is offering FREE online tutoring services in all grade levels and most subject areas by matching students with retired, certified Texas teachers that meet their specific tutoring needs.
- The TRTF online tutor platform is a highly flexible program designed to accommodate busy schedules by allowing students and families to select their own tutor and set tutoring sessions that work best for them.
- At this point, all tutor session hours are provided through donations to TRTF and are FREE to any Texas public school student. There is no limit to the number of tutoring sessions a student can utilize; however, the tutor hours are available on a first come, first serve basis, and we will serve as many students as we have available hours.
Below you will find the basic information on how to access the tutors. We currently have about 200 tutors who cover a broad array of subjects and grade levels. TRTF would love for your district to spread the word to your parent-teacher organizations, teachers and students and give them access to the platform.
HOW IT WORKS:
1. Sign up online with the Texas Retired Teachers Foundation.
2. Submit a request and review qualified tutors for specific courses.
3. Select your tutor and schedule a session.
4. Meet with your tutor.
The Online Tutoring Services program is FREE of charge to all students and families. Please take a look and let us know if you decide to market TRTF Tutors to your school district.
