“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.”
Henry Ford

One of the most cherished aspects of our school is the partnership between our teachers and parents. Knowing that our parents see our teachers as allies who work together to support our students is a blessing. From the book, Families & Educators Together, “Families and teachers both have information that can be exchanged as part of an ongoing reciprocal relationship. Together, you support the healthy development and learning of each child.”

Research shows that children thrive when their families are in relationship with their teacher and school and are involved in their care and education. There are many ways to stay connected and be a part of your child’s education. First, be in communication with your teachers. Communication is fastest via email but not always the most effective. If you feel a conversation would be helpful, contact your teacher and set up a time to talk. Second, get involved with school organizations like our School Accountability Committee (SAC) or Parent/Teacher Organization (PTO). Both groups meet to support our school. The PTO often needs help with different committee involvement. Please click here to visit their page on the TCA website. Next, look for ways to make connections with other families. Introduce yourself to those you stand with at carpool or reconnect with families from past years. Think of ways you can get to know more parents through volunteering for curriculum days and in the classrooms. Lastly, complete the parent survey so we can hear from you. The survey closes February 28 at midnight. Click here to take the survey. The first eight questions relate TCA wide, and the final questions are focused solely on Central. Your responses are reviewed by many to continue to make Central and TCA a wonderful place for your child to grow and learn.

Your partnership is a critical piece of our school puzzle. We are grateful for your continued support!

In Partnership,
