Admissions

Confidentiality for both students and staff is of the highest priority. No discussions of students or of students' participation in TLCS, their reports, their academic abilities and their progress are to be shared and discussed outside of TLCS. Within the school, the student is only to be discussed with the appropriate professionals and only on a need-to-know basis. If outside agencies (e.g., other schools) request student information, please consult with the TLC director. DO NOT provide information without the permission of the director. Under all circumstances, the parents or guardian must provide written permission for the release of information. In the event there is disagreement between the parents, no information will be released.

School Expectations

• Each student and staff member has the right to experience a safe and friendly school environment where all individuals are treated with respect
• Listening to each other helps us get to know each other, understand our environment and acquire new knowledge. Most of all, it teaches us how to understand one another
• We learn how to set goals for the day, the week, the year, for a lifetime and how to develop internal discipline and strategies to reach those goals.
• We learn how to set priorities and how to accomplish things in life that give academic success as well as those that give personal gratification.
• We learn to accept responsibility for our actions and for the choices we make in our lives. We all learn to settle conflicts without comparisons, competition or blame. We try for a "win-win" situation so that we maintain our self-esteem.
• Being responsible means learning to understand another's point of view and to understand how to listen as well as how to be heard.
• We all learn to preserve the greatest person in our world, our own selves. We learn that play is as important as work and each has its place.
• Overall, we learn to create within our lives and within the school conditions that foster, enable and release creativity, talent, ability and potential. We expect the best from ourselves and from others.
