Important TMSA Back-to-School Updates

August 2, 2021
 

Greetings TMSA Parents and Guardians,

 

As we prepare for an exciting and safe first day of school tomorrow, please note the following back-to-school updates:

TMSA is a uniform-mandated charter school and students are expected to be in full uniform beginning the first day of school – August 3, 2021. However, TMSA administrators understand some families have not received their uniform orders due to vendor backorders of various types. If your student is a risk of not being uniform ready on the first day of school (and shortly thereafter), please inform our school counselor, Ms. Letzler, as soon as possible to arrange uniform alternatives until your orders are backfilled. Ms. Letzler may be contacted by email at [email protected] or by phone during regular school hours at 404-768-0081 ext.142. Complimentary, gently worn TMSA uniforms are also available for TMSA households to obtain from the school’s Parent Liaison, Mrs. Pearson. Mrs. Pearson may be contacted by email at [email protected] or by phone during regular school hours at 404-768-0081 ext.248.

TMSA’s back-to-school student schedules will be available for families access via Infinite Campus by close of business today – Monday, August 2, 2021.

We understand starting a new school or returning back to school is a special, yet anxious experience for TMSA’s incoming kindergarten and first-time students. To help with the adjustment, TMSA kindergarten and first-grade parents (only) are permitted to personally walk their students to their classrooms on the first day of school, August 3 at the conclusion of the morning carline process from 8:15 a.m. until 8:30 a.m.(older siblings in grades 2 - 8 may accompany their parents/guardians and kindergarten or first-grade sibling during this timeframe). Mask wear is mandatory. Entry is limited to one parent or guardian accompanying their student to class for 2 – 3 minutes. Kindergarten and first-grade parents/guardians, please park in the following designated areas:

  • Kindergarten: Park your vehicles at the rear of the school near the playground.
  • First Grade: Park your vehicles in the parking lot located to the right side of the main building.
Parental/guardian classroom walk-in with TMSA kindergarten and first-grade students on the first day of school is completely optional. Parents/guardians who opt not to walk their students to their respective classrooms may take advantage of the morning carline process

Please note the updates are also reflected in the most current version of TMSA’s 2021 – 2022 Back-to-School Guide.

Also, if you missed TMSA’s Sneak Peek last Friday, feel free to attend virtually at your convenience by viewing grade-level specific teacher introduction videos and presentations.

Thank you for your patience as we look forward to personally greeting your student(s) tomorrow, the first day of school.

 

Sincerely,

TMSA Administration
