Dear Parents and Families,
I hope this letter finds you well as we head into the Halloween weekend. As a reminder, there is no school on Monday, October 31st. This is a scheduled conference day for teachers and families. If you have not already conferenced or do not have one set up, please reach out to your child’s teacher to schedule one.
A big thank you to all of our volunteers and participants that came out to the PTO’s Fall Festival. We were able to raise about $1,000 for the PTO account. The next PTO meeting is scheduled for November 1st at 8:15 am.
Now that the weather has started to change, please have all outerwear labeled. Our lost and found is filling up quickly.
Thank you all for your understanding as we navigate the bus situation. For the week of 11/1, all bus routes will run. If anything changes, communication will be sent via email and class dojo. When dropping off and picking up your students, please allow us to walk them to the car and put them in the car. I am asking that parents stay in their vehicles and adhere to the teachers and officers as they ask you to pull all the way down the driveway. Doing this allows for traffic to stay off of Lambert Rd and the 24/27. The Biscoe PD and all of us at TCA appreciate this.
As we head into November, please take note of the following dates for your calendar.
10/28-Report Cards sent home
10/31-No School, Parent/Teacher Conferences
11/1-PTO Meeting, 8:15 am
11/11-No School, Veteran’s Day
11/17-Picture Make-up Day
11/21-11/25-Thanksgiving Break
Enjoy the weekend and we will see you on Tuesday, November 1st.

Dear Tillery Parents and Families,
Happy October! This month brings many exciting events and happenings at TCA. Please pay careful attention to the dates listed in this newsletter.
I appreciate everyone’s time and patience as we transitioned to the Foodease platform. While all menu options remained the same, you did see an increase in price at $.50 per lunch. This is relative to the cost of many items all around us going up, including meal prices at our vendors. We felt that this option was the best for our school and families as we transitioned to some more online ordering and payment options. This platform allows for credits to be given if school is canceled and lunches are not served. If your child is absent, a credit cannot be given. Lunch for November must be ordered by 10/21.
TCA’s Fall Festival is scheduled for October 20, 2022 at TCA. This is a PTO run event and needs several volunteers to make this a success. If you are interested in helping, planning, and overseeing this event, please come to the school on Tuesday, the 11th at 8:15 am for an interest meeting.
If you still need to turn in any missing documents to the office, please email these to Mrs. Lucas at robin.lucas@tillerycharteracademy.org.
Once again, TCA is participating in the Fancloth fundraiser. Please click on the link to take you to the ordering page. https://fancloth.shop/QUUXE
Important Dates
10/10-No School, Teacher Workday
10/12-NC Zoo on campus for 4th and 5th presentation, 2nd and 3rd to NC Battleship
10/13-Individual and Group Picture Day

Dear Tillery Parents and Families,
Happy September! We have had an exciting few weeks back at school and we are all back into our back-to-school routine. Thank you to all of you for your cooperation and patience as we
navigate car lines, drop-off, pick-up, lunch ordering, and aftercare.
By now, you should have received our Parent Handbook via email and our Technology Policy through your child’s teacher. Please make sure to sign these and send them back to school.
I hope you can all join us on Thursday evening from 5 pm -7 pm for our Annual Back-to-School Night. This night is meant for parents to visit their child’s classrooms to find out more about our curriculum, events that will happen throughout the year, and a better understanding of what the expectations are while your child is at school.
As a reminder, please be on time to school, and the designated bus stops that your students use. It is also imperative that students are at school for the entire day. The instructional day starts at 7:50 and goes through 3:00 pm. Excessive tardies and early dismissals amount to lost learning time and disruptions with the students learning. Thank you in advance for your understanding of this matter.
The first two weeks of school have been successful, thanks to all of you and our amazing faculty and staff. We are looking forward to the 2022-2023 school year and all that it has in store for us.
As always, please reach out with questions and concerns.
Enjoy your holiday weekend,
Respectfully,
Teresa Harrison
