Admissions Procedure Checklist

Step I

• Read enclosed information carefully.
• Call to schedule school tour and classroom observation.

Step II

• For each prospective student, return:

  __  Completed Student Application Form
  __  Copy of standardized achievement test results from current school year.
       (If this is not available, TCA will administer placement tests at the time of the Family Meeting.)

  __ Nonrefundable Application Fee
           $--- per student

• Upon receipt of the above information, TCA will call to schedule a Family Meeting with parents and prospective student(s). The Family Meeting is an opportunity to meet and screen your child(ren), answer your questions, and review school policies. It gives us and you the opportunity to assess if TCA is the best fit for your child(ren) and family.

Step III

• TCA will contact family regarding status of acceptance.
• Upon acceptance, a contract offer will be mailed to the parents.

  Students who are currently enrolled in TCA receive first priority for enrollment in the next academic year followed in priority sequence by new students from continuing families (e.g. siblings), children of staff, new School Within A School students, and then other new students, giving preference to siblings of newly enrolled students.

  Parent Involvement

  Parent involvement is essential to the successful functions of TCA. Through the many volunteer opportunities both in and out of the classroom, parents enrich the school environment and the feeling of the TCA family.
