At TECCS, Education is a partnership! The success of our children – your children – involves every parent, guardian, and teacher within our community.

You are welcome to make appointments to visit your child’s class. 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 strips and with special school activities.

You will be encouraged to attend meetings of the board of trustees.

We especially invite you to join our Family and School Association (FSA), where you will become a vital part of our school life. The FSA incorporates several volunteer-based committees including:

Class Parents / Hospitality

• Establishes the emergency phone chain
• Coordinates with staff classroom events
• Coordinates with Principal and Executive Secretary school events

Lunch

• Solicits and coordinates schedule of volunteers for daily lunch supervision

Print and Publications

• Drafts FSA Newsletter

Outreach / Public Relations

• Communicates with the community

Programs and Assemblies

• Researches, views and communicates to Principal potential programs to enhance curriculum

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.
