For Parents
You can invest in your child’s success by regularly communicating with his or her teacher and school staff about projects, assignments, and progress. As a parent at our charter school, we depend on you to contribute to that climate of caring that promotes the best possible outcomes for our students by living up to the expectations in the compact signed at enrollment. All parents are also highly encouraged to join the Parent Forum and regularly participate in school activities, which promote a sense of community among the UT Elementary School students, parents, and staff.
