Dear Students, Parents, Staff, and Community Members:
Welcome to TLC Charter School! With nine years of commitment to education excellence,
TLC Charter School is proud of its heritage and tradition and we are dedicated to
the total development of every Kindergarten through twelfth grade student. The staff is
empowered and invested; parents and community are valued and informed; and most
importantly students feel supported throughout their learning process. Our mission, values,
and beliefs provide focus and direction to staff, students, parents as well as all stakeholders
throughout the community. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that our vision is for our
school to be a place of high expectations leading to higher achievement for all. We are
dedicated to our mission of providing resources, a positive environment, and support for
student learning that facilitates high levels of achievement for all students as well as
excellence in instruction by teachers.
Our upcoming academic calendar for ’09-’10 is a full and exciting one – with our continued emphasis and increasing momentum on achieving our goals,
we will continue to pursue high academic goals, and align our high standards with President Obama’s No Child Left Behind (NCLB) goals & standards.
Finally, our highly qualified staff that ensures all students will be educated in a safe, drug-free learning environment; and all students graduate from high
school. Every member of our Highly Qualified (HQ) team – regardless of their role or function in our organization – is ready to serve you and your
student towards achieving this vision.
As a K through twelfth grade school, staff, parents, and the community are able to
watch as students develop and progress from a foundation that we build together. Our
students are welcomed to our school from across Tucson. We are a Title I school with an
economically disadvantaged rate of nearly ninety percent. However, although our population
has a large number of economically disadvantaged students, parents at TLC value
education for their children and this is reflected in the attendance rate over 90%.
TLC Charter School is a data driven school with an ongoing comprehensive
assessment system in place to identify, target, monitor, and improve student performance
as well as curriculum and instruction.
A developmentally appropriate curriculum addresses all core domains on a daily basis.
Reading/ Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies instruction is provided
by a highly qualified staff and is aligned with the state of Arizona’s standards. These
standards are naturally integrated in everyday school life. Each content area has a strong
emphasis on reading and writing as literacy skills are considered to be the foundation
upon which children are prepared for full participation in today’s society, regardless of
gender, race, ethnicity, disability, or socioeconomic status.
Parent and community engagement is of utmost importance to TLC Charter School.
Partnerships with parents, students, staff, and community are valued and we welcome
parental participation and the opportunity for families and communities to be involved in
educating our children. Goals are set and met through a team effort and we are blessed to
have a dedicated school family that supports our quest to educate all children.
At TLC Charter School we work hard, we play hard, and we celebrate! We are proud
and appreciative that families entrust us with the opportunity to educate the children of
our school. We are committed to excellence in education and we are focused on having
another great year!
Sincerely,
Tina Giberti, Director
