Dear TIMA Families:

We are working diligently on obtaining our Charter Renewal for another 5 years. A big part of that process is gathering information from our various stakeholders, especially you! Please respond to this brief survey this week.

We must have at least 85% of our parents respond for this to be considered an allowable measure on the Charter Renewal Application. Please go to the survey and respond no later than this April 30, 2024. As always, please contact us with any questions.

https://forms.gle/uBnhHsJA2wvpkpGZ7

Thank you in advance for your participation!

Sincerely,

Peter L. Ulrich

Principal

Parents, please complete the linked form above if you would like to be a part of the Transportation Lottery for the 24-25 school year.

A separate entry is required for each of your children accepted into TIMA for the 24-25 school year.

Families will be notified of Lottery Results on Thursday, May 2, 2024.

Please NOTE: Current 23-24 Bus Riders should not be entered on this form as they are retaining their seats.

This form must be completed by Friday, April 26, 2024 by 4:00pm in order to be eligible for the Transportation Lottery on Wednesday, May 1, 2024. This form will close to new responses at that time and will be reopened for Waitlist purposes at a later date. Details regarding stop locations and times will be released in July.

Current 23-24 Bus Riders will keep their seat for the 24-25 school year. We will seat siblings of current bus riders first, followed by economically disadvantaged students (Student qualifies for free/reduced lunch, families live below the poverty line, families qualify for one or more of the following benefits: SNAP, TANF, WIC, Medicaid or PINS. Status will be verified.) Students will be chosen using a randomized electronic system to fill remaining seats and waitlist.

Families will be surveyed regarding stop choices following the Lottery.

5th, 6th and 7th Grade Parents are encouraged to join us for an information session regarding curriculum, class selections, policy and procedures for middle school. All parents are encouraged to attend, as the information shared will impact current middle schoolers, as well as rising 6th graders.

There will be opportunity for Q & A and a recording of the session will be shared after the event.

Students are welcome but this is mainly a parent facing event.

Tybee Island is predicting significant traffic impacts on April 19th. As a result, April 19th will be a remote learning day for all TIMA students and remote work day for staff. Please look for more information coming from your child's teacher. Thank you.

Parents, as we prepare for the upcoming Teacher Appreciation Week in May, please consider donating to our Teacher Appreciation Fund.

All proceeds will be used to fund Teacher Appreciation Activities!

Teachers, families, and greater TIMA Community -

For the 2023 - 24 school year we have had so many people contribute to the greater good of our school community.

Please take a moment to recognize these individuals by submitting their name via the form linked below so we can recognize their contributions. The form is due May 1, 2024.

Tybee Island YMCA will provide an enrichment Health and Wellness program for TIMA students. Children will follow a curriculum that will provide knowledge to develop their well being. The program operates in the cafeteria at TIMA, immediately after school.
