On this page, you can access information about procedures and protocols to help your family get started at TCGIS. Please contact info@tcgis.org with additional questions!

School Supplies & Start/End Times

If you're joining TCGIS after the first day of school, the Enrollment Coordinator will work with you to determine what day your child(ren) will start school.

Please view the supply lists for grades K-4 or 5-8 to know what to bring to school on the first day.

Classes start at 8:15 AM, but your child should arrive by 8:10 to have time to get to class. The school day ends at 3:15 on most days, with one early release day each month ending at 12:45. Early release days, as well as other school events, are posted on our calendar.

Please view this video on arrival and dismissal procedures at TCGIS. You can also see the same information in PDF format.

Infinite Campus

You should receive the activation key for your Infinite Campus account in your initial registration email. Households with 2 guardians will receive 2 activation keys; it's important that each guardian uses only their own activation key to set up each account. You can enter your activation code via the Parent Portal (you will want to bookmark that link) by clicking on "New User?" under the credential fields.

Immediately after setting up your Infinite Campus account, please complete the Online Registration process by selecting "more" from the left-hand menu and clicking on "Online Registration". Completing this process will ensure that TCGIS has accurate medical information and emergency contacts on file.

PikMyKid

TCGIS uses the PikMyKid app to coordinate end-of-day dismissal options for elementary school students. Please download the app from the Apple or Google Play store and send up to 2 guardians' names and cell phone numbers to enrollment@tcgis.org.

Please watch the following videos for more information on using PikMyKid:

Students in middle school are expected to communicate with their families about each day's dismissal plan. If questions arise at the end of the day, the front office will call the family.

Busing

If you are interested in riding the bus to or from school, please review the busing handbook and complete the forms linked within the handbook:

Please direct any busing questions to Nicole Sveen at nsveen@tcgis.org.
