For ParentsFor Families and Teachers Association meetings please see the calendar.
Parent Involvement
At TECCS, Education is a partnership! The success of our children – your children – involves every parent, guardian, and teacher within our community. You will meet with our teachers regularly to discuss your child’s needs and progress. You will be invited to share your special knowledge, skills, and culture with your child’s class. As a parent or guardian, you will be invited to help us on class trips and with special school activities.
We especially invite you to join our Parents and Guardians Association (PGA), where you will become a vital part of our school life.
The more involved you are, the more you help plan and join in school events, the more your children can reach important goals for learning and success.
Parents and Guardians Association
We will have a Parents and Guardians Association (PGA) that will support parents in communicating with the school, provide events for families and, in general, help create an environment where parents are a part of the school community. The PGA will include teacher, administrator, parent, business and community partners. The members of the PGA will work together to review school goals in order to select, design, implement, and evaluate parent and community invovlement. The PGA’s primary goal is to involve families and the community in productive ways so that all students reach important educational goals for learning and success.
Calendar
At TECCS we have 190 school days, a longer school year than most schools. We hope that the extra days will give us time to reinforce important knowledge and skills and to provide the enrichment and hands-on learning activities that are so important to true understanding. The first day of school will be: Monday, August 31, 2009. The school calendar will be available for download shortly.
Lunch
We will share the lunchroom with P.S. 297 and will use their food service. The principal of P.S. 297 and our principal will work with the dietician to make sure the meals are tasty and nutritious.
Volunteer Opportunities
There are many opportunities for parents and community members to support their children and the school’s programs. Please watch this space for specific volunteer requests.
