TLC Charter Chatter

News, Information, and Updates for Primary, Discovery, and Millennium Charter Schools

 

REMINDER- THIS FRIDAY – February 4th 2022 is a MINIMUM DAY –  All schools have early release

 

 



A Message from our CEO, Carolyn Woods

 

Monthly COVID-19 Report: January, 2022

Case Counts by School:

PCS: 19

DCS: 20

MHS: 20

Positivity Rate: 0.05

Although these numbers represent a noticeable increase in cases we have seen since the beginning of the school year, case counts are trending downward. The majority of the cases were reported within the first two weeks of January. Since then, there has been a sharp decline week to week at all three schools.

As always, we will continue to follow all recommended guidelines to keep our schools operating safely and effectively.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Woods

AERIES Emergency Info Needed.

We still have several families who have not completed an updated emergency contact form. This information is very important and is used to contact parents if there is an emergency. If you have not completed this form, please do so and return it to our front office ASAP

AERIES EMERGENCY FORM (PDF)




 

 

Discovery Charter School 5th-8th:

**Attention All Parents**

Below you will find a link to our electronic parent website (AERIES). This database contains critical information about each DCS student and each student’s emergency contact information. This portion MUST BE FILLED OUT BY YOU. All data will be used to contact you in the event of an emergency. It is very important that you take the time to ensure we have all necessary information.

 

Use the following link https://tracylearningcenter.aeries.net/student and login in with the email and password you created when registering your student at the beginning of the school year. From there, navigate to the DATA CONFIRMATION PROCESS link. Once you enter the information, THE LAST STEP IS TO PRINT THE EMERGENCY CARD and turn it into the front office or to your child’s teacher.

If you believe you have already completed this process OR you need help completing this process please call 209-290-0511. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

SPED SPOTLIGHT:

This week we want to put a spotlight on activities parents can use at home to improve their child’s speech and language skills.

These simple worksheets provide a least 10 different activities in each category that parents can use with their children in order to improve skills in the following areas:

  1. Articulation,
  2. Comparing/contrasting,
  3. Categorization,
  4. Synonyms and antonyms,
  5. Following directions,
  6. Main idea, Story comprehension and retell,
  7. Verbs,
  8. Multiple meaning words,
  9. Describing, prepositions
  10. Auditory memory.

At home practice is a great way to further support the skills being taught at school and carry these new skills across different environments! Click the link below to access over 100 at home activities.

Keep it fun and engaging. Happy practicing!

LUNCH: Ordering lunch is slightly different this year. All students should have a lunch account to pay for lunches. To register, go to https://www.mymealtime.com/ and create an account. You must choose/type in your specific school (Millennium High School) and you will need your student school I.D. number. If you have any difficulties creating an account online, money can still be added to your account by either cash, check, or debit card. You can drop off payment in the lunch dropbox that is located in the main office. We are still in the process of adding new students to our mealtime system and hope to have it completed next week.

Lunch is ordered the day before it is delivered to class. All students should order their lunch during 4th period/HUB time. The Google Classroom code is SEUNSOU. Applications for Free & Reduced meals must be completed and turned in every year. You can apply on the school’s website.
