Learn about our extracurriculars, and more.
Where do I park?
Please park at McKee Road Elementary, across the street from Telra. We will be operating a shuttle bus to bring our families safely to the Telra Campus.
What do I do with school supplies?
Here is the list of school supplies. Bring them with you to the gym where you'll start for the Principals Presentation.
After the Principal Presentation, you will visit two locations:
Your child's distribution classroom - This is where you will drop off all of the school supplies that are designated to "stay with classroom." (See the bottom of the school supplies page if you are not sure which supplies these are)
Your child's locker or cubby - You can leave "personal" school supplies here if you like, or you can take these back home and bring them with you on the first day of school. (Either way, be sure to visit the cubby/locker so you can learn where it is.) And remember, "lockers" at Telra do not lock, so don't leave any valuables here.
Who are my child's teachers?
By the Open House dates, most classes and teachers will be posted on Alma. You should be able to log onto Alma to find your child's schedule and see all of their teachers.
From your home screen in Alma, click on any child to see their "overview" tab, which lists their classes
Your child will start their morning in their 1st Block classroom (labelled B1 on their schedule)
One caveat: This schedule and teacher assignments are preliminary. After placement tests are completed in the first week of school, some students will move instructional groups or grade levels. Even if your child's instructional level does not change, if a large number of other students need to change placements, it could impact the overall schedule and teacher assignments for your child as well.
Open house is an opportunity for you to meet all the teachers - not just the teachers your child is assigned to at the moment. With our dynamic model, there is a good chance your child may see some other teachers throughout the year, so take advantage of our open house format and mingle!
Where do I go to meet the teachers and find my cubby or locker?
Teachers will be stationed in several reception areas throughout the school. In addition, once you know your cubby or locker number, the guide below will tell you where to find it:
Adventure Neighborhood (1st floor East) - Kindergarten and 1st grade teachers
Cubbies B.1 - B.48

How do I find my child's cubby / car tag number / school ID number / school email?
These pieces of information will be in Alma, so it really is very important that you confirm your login and access.
When you log into Alma, click the circle with your initials and select "My Info" to find your child's information. There you'll find:
Your child's school ID number (also sometimes called their Infinite Campus ID number)
Your child's Telra email address
Your child's Locker / Cubby number (K-8 only). Now that you have the number, go find your cubby. (Note that your cubby/locker has likely changed from last year!)
Your family's Car Tag number. Alma doesn't have a "car tag" field, so this is labelled "Lunch Number" on Alma.
Your "Car Tag / Lunch Number" is the number you should display on your windshield when you come to pick up your child at the end of each school day.
If you had a car tag from a previous school year, you can still use it. New car tags for incoming families will be distributed at Open House. If you do not have yours, please just write your Car Tag number in clear lettering and affix it to your windshield so we can read it when you drive up.
How do I find my child's Distribution Classroom (K-8 only)?
Your child's Distribution Classroom depends on their grade and schedule. From your home screen in Alma, click on any child to see their "overview" tab, which lists their classes
Grades K-3: Your child's distribution classroom is their 4th Block class (labelled B4 on their schedule) - There should be a 3-digit room number shown for this class next to the teacher's name.
Grades 4-8: Your child's distribution classroom is their 3rd Block class (labelled B3 on their schedule) - There should be a 3-digit room number shown for this class next to the teacher's name.
