3. Schedule an evaluation

Once all materials are complete and we have received your $100 non-refundable application fee, we will schedule a time for your child to meet with one of our Principals for the evaluation. The goal of this 45 minute evaluation is to begin to get to know your child. Part of the evaluation is an academic assessment.

One all documents have been returned to TCPS and all evaluations and assessments are completed, parents will receive written notification of a decision regarding placement at TCPS. It is expected that this process will take a minimum of two weeks.
