Family Covenant

We ask that each entering family sign a covenant, a promise of how that family will support their child’s education at Tindley. Student behavior is essential to meeting academic goals and so we ask families to support our discipline policies, all of which are designed to maintain an atmosphere in which students can learn and excel.

• I will ensure that my child comes to school every day on time to begin school at 7:45 AM.
• I understand that if my child is absent more than 6.5 % of his/her school year, he or she will have to repeat his or her current grade. 

• I agree to check my child’s homework daily to ensure that it is complete.

• I agree to promote and support the rules of behavior as outlined in the CTAS Student Handbook, and accept responsibility as a partner in my child’s learning.

• I understand that my child needs to pass 5 core academic classes (a core class is any class that meets five times a week) each term in order to be promoted to the next grade.
• I understand that my child may be required to stay for after school extra help or tutoring.

• I will ensure that my child comes to school in the school uniform, according to the guidelines listed in the Student Handbook.
• I understand that if my child comes to school out of uniform, he or she may not be permitted to attend class, may need to wait for the appropriate dress to be brought in from home, and will receive an automatic detention to be served that day.

• I agree to support my child’s academic work by communicating regularly with my child’s teachers, by scheduling appointments to talk with them as needed, and by attending all conferences.
