Reporting an absence.
Notify the front office each day your child is absent.
For planned appointments or absences, tell your child's teacher and the front office in advance whenever possible.
Arriving late?
A parent or authorized adult must park and accompany students to the main lobby entrance on the 2nd floor.
Please use the main elevator.

Students will only be released to an authorized parent or guardian.

Everyday essentials.
Lunch and snacks
Bring a lunch and snack that do not require refrigeration. Notify the front office about allergies, dietary restrictions, or medical concerns that affect meals and snacks.
Dress and spare clothing
TCS does not require a uniform. Students should wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes suitable for classroom activities, outdoor play, and movement. Keep a complete change of clothing at school. Review the handbook for the full dress expectations.
Chromebook requirements and setup
Families provide a Chromebook with at least 4GB of RAM and a screen no larger than 15 inches. Windows laptops and MacBooks do not meet the school’s device requirements. Students also need earbuds or headphones.
The school provisions Chromebooks for school use. Previously owned devices may have existing data permanently removed during setup, so back up personal files before provisioning. Contact the school before purchasing or setting up a device if you need guidance.
Health information and medication
Keep the school informed about medical conditions, allergies, dietary restrictions, medication changes, and emergency medical information.
Contact the front office for current medication forms and instructions. Medication requires the appropriate authorization, including a form signed by the prescribing physician. A parent or guardian must deliver medication directly to the front office in its original labeled container. Students should not transport medication unless specifically authorized by school administration.
Family learning and connection.
Family Education
Required in the first year.
Every new family completes a six-week evening series with approximately 12 hours of instruction. The fee is $900 per family, separate from tuition. Our team provides scheduling and payment information before each series. Contact the school if you need information about your family’s participation or the next series.
Multiple Family Group
Highly recommended.
MFG provides ongoing guidance, shared problem-solving, and connection with other families. Participation is highly recommended, but not required. Use the current calendar for meeting dates, times, and formats.
Connecting Families
Free community program.
Connecting Families is a separate eight-week program for parents and elementary-aged children, with its own intake process. It does not replace required first-year Family Education.
Keep your information current.
Review school communications regularly and keep your contact and emergency information up to date.
Families can update emergency information through the FACTS Family Portal. Please also notify the front office promptly about changes affecting student release, custody documentation, health, or safety.
Current information helps the school reach you when it matters.
