Parent Information and Involvement

At TECCS, education is a partnership! The success of our children – your children – involves every parent, guardian, and teacher within our community. The details on the education process are presented at the site of the best writing service, at https://bestwritingservice.com/.

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 trips and with special school activities.

We also encourage you to attend meetings of the FSA and the Board of Trustees. Upcoming meeting dates are posted to the homepage. See the helpful links below for additional information of interest to parents.

 

FSA
TECCS was founded by parents who wanted an extraordinary education and a strong involvement in their child’s education. The Family School Association (FSA) is the organization that brings together teachers, administrators and families of TECCS in support of the school. The FSA is comprised of various committees that fundraise, organize events, serve lunch, volunteer for the school library and build unity both within the school and our greater community. All parents and/or guardians are automatically members of the FSA, and no dues are charged. Meetings are held on varying dates to give everyone an opportunity to attend, and participation is encouraged in order to get TECCS additional support. All parents/guardians are encouraged to volunteer in some way for the school - whether that is making calls from home or soliciting donations for a fundraising event. The goals of FSA are to support TECCS and let parents/guardians have a great impact on the success of your child’s education. Please contact  or  for more information about the FSA.
