Welcome back, Twin Peaks Families & Students! It hardly seems possible that we are moving into August, a month filled with the excitement of learning here at Twin Peaks. The Class of 2026 is just starting and the Class of 2014 will be finishing their high school education under the same roof this next school year. So, if you are feeling a little older after that last sentence about our Kindergarten students, know that you are not alone. A K-12 school, brings forth many opportunities for growth, memories of learning and advancement for Twin Peaks Charter Academy. Curriculum initiatives K-12 in Math and Writing, multiple Advance Placement Classes for our high school students, MS & HS athletics, new chemistry, biology and physics labs, PTO activities and parent involvement for new/existing parents plus the foundations of starting a Twin Peaks High School Booster Club are some of activities moving across our school.

Also, in June, the Board of Directors appointed, Mrs. Danielle Feeney, the K - 5 Principal for TPCA. I am both excited and supportive of this opportunity of change in leadership title and responsibilities for Mrs. Feeney and our K-5 parents, students and staff. Mrs. Feeney, like all of our staff, has worked tirelessly, in supporting the entire organization and will now spend the vast majority of her time focusing on the K -5 elements, yet supporting the entire K - 12 system at her assigned duties and responsibilities. Please join me in congratulating Mrs. Danielle Feeney when the opportunity presents itself.

For myself, please know that the BOD has provided direction aimed at the future of TPCA in changes supportive of future leadership.  A change in my title and as well as responsibilities will help provide focus as the 6 -12 Principal/Director. This change will guide and support TPCA across the school, yet prepare Twin Peaks Charter Academy for internal staffing leadership opportunities for current and future staff at Twin Peaks.

I look forward to the school year. We want to continue to engage each of you, both as parents in a manner that will help your child grow in learning, confidence combined with humility and sense of belonging at Twin Peaks Charter Academy. Again, we are looking forward to the days, months and year to come.

Dear Parents and Guardians: 

We would like to introduce you to a new system our school has acquired to help protect your children. It's called V-soft. V-soft helps track visitors, students, faculty, contractors, and volunteers at our school, thus providing a safer, more monitored environment for the students. 

When visitors, volunteers, or contractors check in, or when parents come to pick up students, they will be asked to present a valid state-issued ID for entering into the system. The system has the ability to provide alerts on people who may jeopardize the safety of the campus. We feel certain this will help us keep our campus a little safer and ask for your cooperation in presenting your valid state-issued ID when checking in at the school. Thank you, in advance, for your help in this matter. 

presentes en nuestra escuela, ofreciendo asi un ambiente mas vigilado que brinda mayor seguridad a nuestros estudiantes. 

Cuando los visitantes, voluntarios o contratistas se registran en la oficina, o cuando los padres llegan a recoger a sus hijos de la escuela, se les pedira que presenten su documento de identidad valido del Estado para poder identificarlo en el sistema. El sistema tiene la capacidad de alertar sobre personas que puedan poner en riesgo la seguridad de nuestra escuela. 

Estamos seguros de que este sistema ayudara a mantener nuestra escuela un poco mas segura. 

De tal modo que solicitamos su colaboracion presentando un documento valido que haya sido emitido por el Estado para poder registrarse en la oficina. Agradecemos su cooperacion

2013-2014 TPCA COMMUNICATIONS  

Communication with our community will be expanded this year to three days of email communication.

Dear Parents of K-5th Graders:

    
We are planning a great year of academic growth for your student.  To help teachers with this, initial benchmark-assessment sessions will be held as shown below on August 19 and 20. This is prior to the first full day of school for all K-5 students which is Thursday, August 22, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

 STUDENT PORTAL PASSWORDS ARE CHANGING

REMINDER: Effective June 5, 2013, student passwords will be changed, and this change affects all student computer logins, Infinite Campus Portals, and Google Mail/Google Apps.  This change is necessary to conform to varying software requirements.

The change increases the length of a student password from six characters to eight characters by adding "sv" to the beginning of the student password. Students who have changed their passwords will have those passwords reset.

There is a district notice posted on the IC Campus Portal to notify parents and remind students of this change.  Communication will be sent again at the start of the '13-'14 school year as a reminder.
