Happy February! Today marks our 100th Day of School. There were lots of fun activities planned here at the school in many classrooms! February will continue to be a busy (short) month as we head into Spring. Please be prepared to receive several forms of communication from myself, the office, and teachers regarding all that is going on.
Attached to this email, you will find a flyer from one of our PTO parents, please take a look at this at your convenience.
As you know, our Open Enrollment is still open, this will conclude on February 18th. We are still accepting applications for the 2022-2023 school year. Help spread the word!
This week we welcomed our new PE Teacher, Mr. Jackson to campus. All students will have PE twice a week with Mr. Jackson on Wednesday and Friday-please make sure your children are wearing sneakers on days that we have PE. Next week, on February 11th, Ms. Williams, our 2nd Grade Teacher, will be leaving Tillery Charter Academy. We are thankful for her time and dedication to the school, families, and parents; Ms. Williams has been with us since we opened in 2019. We wish her all the best. Once we have a new teacher, she will be introduced and welcomed to TCA.
Thank you to everyone who has helped stock up on some much needed supplies! If there is anything you’d like to donate please send the items to the office or call Mrs. Lucas to see what is needed.

As always, please reach out with any questions! Have a wonderful weekend,
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a restful break and is back into the groove of school and work. After a busy week at TCA, we are ready to tackle 2022 and all that it has to offer. As students come back to school, they will continue to work with Mrs. Jackson on the Voyage Program. The next anchor and action point is compassion. Students will work on caring about how others feel, why it’s important to understand other people’s feelings and show them compassion, and how compassion can bring about positive changes in the lives of others. Please ask them about this.
If you have not already done so, please take a minute to fill out the mask survey that was sent out earlier this week. As a reminder, masks are optional in the building, but must be worn when people are within 3 feet of each other and on the school bus.
I appreciate everyone’s understanding as we made the call to delay school for 2 hours this morning (1/7). For the future, it is TCA’s policy to follow the lead of Montgomery County Public Schools and their inclement weather policy. Communication will be sent out via email, Class Dojo, and our social media (FB and IG).
Looking ahead, we have a few important dates to be mindful of:
January 14th and 17th- No School for students
January 21st- Report Cards will be sent home
January 31st-February 4th-NWEA MAP Testing Week (K-4)
February 18th and 21st- No School for students
February 28th- March 4th-Scholastic Book Fair at TCA (PTO Sponsored)
As we begin next week, I want to stress the importance of an on time arrival to school and the appropriate pick up time for all students. Instruction for all students begins at 8:00 am and continues until 3:00 pm each day. Please be mindful of dropping off late and picking up early as students are missing important information, learning time, and social time with their classmates and teachers.
