Welcome to TMS!

We are pleased to welcome you and your child to Timberlane. Once you meet with the registrar and provide all of the required documentation, please follow the next steps to help ensure that your child's first days of school are as comfortable and successful as possible.

1. Complete your parent/guardian OnCourse registration and grant permission for your child to access their account.

• The registrar has emailed you a Welcome message from OnCourse. Please follow the instructions in that email to access your account and give your child permission to access their account. Here are directions to help you do this.
• Failure to complete these steps will mean that your child will not have access to assignments or their schedule. You will also not be aware of your child's bus details, grades, and more.

2. Contact your child's school counselor to schedule and plan for your child's first day of school.

• Alert your child's counselor if (a) English is not your child's first language, (b) your child has a 504 plan, (c) your child has an IEP, or (d) there are other special circumstances we need to be aware of.
  

3. Make a lunch money account for your child or complete the Free/Reduced Lunch Application.

1. Please provide your child with transportation to school and escort him/her into the main office between 8 and 8:15 am. It may take several days for bus transportation to be established for eligible students.
2. Supply your child with a lunch from home. It may take a few days for the lunch money account to be accessible.
3. Give your child lots of love, positivity, and encouragement before you say goodbye.
4. Provide your child with transportation home from school.

If English is not your child's first language, we will need ACCESS scores (if possible) in order to make their schedule of classes. Please obtain these from your child's previous school district and provide them to your child's school counselor. If these scores are not available or if your child has not been enrolled in a school in the United States before, a placement test will need to be administered to your child before his/her schedule can be created. Please speak with your child's school counselor for more information.

If your child has an IEP or a 504 Plan, please provide us with the most current version, along with any testing that has been done in the past three years. If your child has an IEP, a member of the Child Study Team will contact you to coordinate a meeting to discuss an appropriate special education program. If your child has a 504 plan, please ensure that your child's school counselor has a copy of the plan before your child's first day of school so that we may do our best to create a smooth transition for your child.
