What are the school hours?

Tillicum's School hours are from 8:00am until 2:30pm. 


On half days, all students are dismissed at 11:30am.


We have breakfast beginning at 7:45. There is no adult supervision available
before 7:45 am. Students should be arriving between 7:45 and 7:50, this
insures that they may go directly into the gym and be ready to start the day
before the tardy bell rings.

Do I need to have my student bring in a note if they have been ill?

Yes - the office needs written verification of a student's illness. It is 
always best to have the student bring in the note when they return to school
so that the attendance excuse can be corrected.

What is a student led conference for kindergarten?

Kindergarten: There will be two performance stations - one for reading and 
one for math. After students have shared their reading (student pick),
writing (first picture) and math (teacher pick) with parents they will sit
with the teacher to make goals for the year.

What is a student led conference for 1st - 2nd grade?

Student and parents come into the classroom and move around content stations 
that will be set up in the classroom. At each station the student and
parents will complete an activity and then look at their student's work.
Each student will have their own portfolio of work to share. The last
station is with the teacher to share goals for the year and answer any
questions.

What is a student led conference for 3rd - 5th grade?

Each student has a portfolio binder that includes at least 2 samples of 
reading, math, writing, science, social studies and specialists. A
reflection sheet accompanies all work in the portfolio. When parents and
their student come to the conference, they will share their work and
reflections. Included in the time will be setting academic/behavior goals
with the teacher and answering any questions you may have.
