(See how to avoid tardies. ) 1:00pm – Dismissal changes cut off – no changes accepted after this time. 3:00pm – Latest time for early dismissal. 3:05pm – Cars allowed to enter pick-up line. 3:30pm – Afternoon bell. Shuttle bus from High School returns to K-8 campus. 3:35-3:40pm – Students begin exiting for car line, buses, vans, walkers, and after school care. 3:55pm – End of car line. 4:00pm – Pickups after this time will incur after-care charges . Car line flow and rules The map below shows how traffic flows during arrival and dismissal times. Car line time restrictions – Cars will not be allowed to enter the property for car line before 7:45am in the morning or before 3:05pm in the afternoon. The car line blocks access to our building which we need to keep open for staff, before care, and early dismissals. If you arrive early, you will be turned away. Please do not try to circumvent this by queuing up on the road or in the church parking lot. One way flow. Please note that the main entrance to the school is on the west end of campus from the road that runs between the Baptist church and St. Francis church. We have two driveways directly on McKee Rd – one for buses only and one is exit only. Do not try to enter these driveways. Three-lane drop zone with driver side entry/exit. Our car line queue expands to 3 lanes , and we’ll use all 3 for drop off and pick up. The near lane loads/unloads first, then after it empties, the 2nd lane goes, and after that, the far lane. Access is from the LEFT side of the car. Please make sure your children are ready to load/unload from the driver’s side . If you must access from the passenger side, be sure to take lane 3 (furthest to the right) Parents should stay in the car. PLEASE REMEMBER! If you are in the middle or far lane, please keep your children in the car until a staff member approaches to open your door. If you need to help your child settle into a car seat, wait until you can pull forward around the curve and then off to the side. Arrivals Telra's K-8 academic day starts at 8:15am, and students need to be in their classroom at that time to avoid being marked tardy. We know the morning routine at home can be tough, but be sure to arrive well-in time to make sure your child starts the Telra day on the right foot. We want to teach students that punctuality matters. The K-8 morning car line opens at 7:50 am. Aim for the Green zone ! Cars arriving 7:50 - 8:05 am - Green zone - Your child will have plenty of time to visit their locker/cubby and get to class. Maybe even chat with their friends and relax a bit before school begins. Cars arriving 8:05 - 8:10 am - Yellow zone - Your child will likely be on time, but you haven't left much cushion in case there is traffic on the road or in our drop off area. (And if you have a child hoping to ride the shuttle bus to the high school, you likely missed it.) Cars arriving 8:10 - 8:15 am - Red zone - There is a good chance your child will be tardy. Best case scenario, they'll be rushing to get to class. Cars arriving to the loading zone after 8:15 am - Tardy - You will need to park and sign your child in. Before School Care Families dropping off for Before School Care can stop in the curve and approach the walker entrance (located at the gym - to the right of the main entrance and flag pole.) The parking lot is open only for staff and Before School care between 7:00-7:45am You can sign up for Before School Care here . Walkers Walkers will use the main front door Families must pre-register with frontdesk@telra.org to be walkers (limited to families who live within a 1 mi. radius on the north side of McKee Rd) Late Arrivals If you arrive after 8:15am , please park in the pavilion parking lot of the school and walk your child to the front door to sign them in. The Operations team will then issue your student with a late pass before sending them to their classroom. Do not pull into the bus entrance at the back of the school. Departure Students will be dismissed at 3:30pm, but it takes time to leave the building. The car line doesn't start loading until around 3:35. Car riders, please follow the same traffic flow of arrival. Please do not line up for afternoon pickup before 3:05 pm. If you arrive early, you will be blocked from driving on campus and that risks creating a back-up on McKee Rd. (This is one area in life where it's not good to be too early! Many parents plan to arrive around 3:45, and can get through car line in 10-20 mins) C ar tags - All cars must have their car tags hanging on the rear view mirror (or a clearly visible piece of paper on the dashboard with your family's assigned car line number, family name, and children's names.) If you are carpooling with another family, find out their number and display both tags or a home-made sign in clear lettering Bus riders/van riders will be collected and taken to their bus or van. Walkers will be collected and taken to the playground. Parents of walkers should assemble near the playground gate (do not enter the playground). A member of staff will walk students out to you.

We know the morning routine at home can be tough, but be sure to arrive well-in time to make sure your child starts the Telra day on the right foot. We want to teach students that punctuality matters. Car drop-offs at the High School Arrive between 8:15-8:25am so that students have time to walk to class Car drop-offs at CPCC Students who have classes beginning at 9am or earlier may be dropped off directly at CPCC If your first class of the day is a CPCC class beginning after 9am , you are expected to come to the high school at 8:30am and check in first. Car drop-offs or walkers at the K-8 campus Arrive no later than 8:05am so that students have time to catch the shuttle departing at 8:10am If you are late, keep driving and head to the high school campus Bus riders Bus routes should arrive at the K-8 in time for the interchange to the shuttle bus But don't dally! Head straight to gather in the arranged location for the shuttle. Late Arrivals If you arrive after 8:30am , you are tardy. Head directly to class if it is already in session. Check in at the Telra high school as soon as possible. Departures Students will be dismissed at 3:00pm. Car riders can be picked up in one of two locations At the high school campus shortly after 3:00pm Via the K-8 campus car line shortly after 3:30pm The inter-campus shuttle departs the high school at 3:10pm and arrives at the K-8 campus by 3:25pm allowing transfers to another school bus or to the K-8 car line High School HS schedule Drop off pickup HS arrivals HS departures Setting and changing dismissal plans End-of-Day Dismissal Set your end-of-day dismissal preferences and make changes through our Microsoft Dismissal & Absences tool available from our Quick Links page. You will need to log in with your child's Telra Microsoft Credentials Dismissal changes must be submitted by 1pm (at latest) on the day of dismissal. (24-hours notice is preferred.) Changes to regular dismissal method will not be made after 1pm. Early Dismissal (for K-8) Parents can sign their children out of school early prior to 3 :00pm. From 3:00pm onwards students will not be dismissed early. Change in dismissal method also must be communicated prior to 1pm. See above. If you need to collect your student from school early, please complete your request using the Microsoft Dismissal and Absences tool . Pick up is from the front door of the school and you must bring photo identification to sign your child out. Early dismissal finishes at 3:00pm, no exceptions. We understand that occasionally appointments need to be scheduled during school hours, however, please don’t make it a regular occurrence as this cuts into the instructional time that your child receives Early Dismissal / Late Arrival (for High School) Most high school students have some independent or asynchronous study periods, and we encourage families to use these for scheduling necessary appointments. Parents can, upon request and approval from the high school Principal, schedule a recurring late arrival or early dismissal if it is compatible with a student's schedule. Dismissal plans

- Our Approach | Telra Institute
We enable advanced learners to realize their potential by going beyond the conventional education model. Our approach is to nurture challenge, encourage tailored acceleration, and craft a unique learning journey for each child. Students will finish 5th grade being one to three grade levels ahead Our Approach We enable advanced learners to realize their potential by going beyond the conventional education model. Our approach is to nurture challenge , encourage tailored acceleration , and craft a unique learning journey for each child. Students will finish elementary grades being one to three grade levels ahead of the standard curriculum, move on to learn some high school content in middle school, and aim to finish high school with a college (Associates) degree complete. Our Approach Nurture challenge We nurture challenge. Most schools teach to grade-level standards. At Telra Institute, we know that advanced learners thrive when they are supported in their ZPD - The Zone of Proximal Development. By balancing activities that students know how to do with infusions of more advanced content that they can master with guidance, we nurture challenge and maximize learning, confidence, & growth. The best way to achieve this - to reach students in their individual ZPD - is through tailored acceleration. “Educational acceleration is one of the cornerstones of exemplary gifted education practices, with more research supporting this intervention than any other in the literature on gifted individuals.” — The National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) In a typical American classroom... 14-37% of students test at least one grade level ahead in math . 20-49% of students test at least one grade level ahead in reading . Acceleration helps meet their needs Encourage Acceleration We encourage tailored acceleration. Acceleration, moving through a curriculum at a faster rate or at a younger age, leads to exceptional growth and achievement. While common at the high school level, acceleration can be difficult to implement in the traditional elementary school environment due to schedule constraints, curriculum choices, and policy barriers. The Telra system was designed from the ground up for agility. It enables tailored acceleration and enrichment opportunities for every student, in every grade level, every day. By introducing intermediate levels (e.g., grade 2.33), challenge can be adjusted more precisely to accommodate each student’s skill, motivation, and capability. We build a unique Personalized Learning Plan for each student that targets their ZPD based on their evolving strengths. We craft a unique learning journey for each child. All classes at Telra are rigorous, but we've gone further to design a curriculum, schedule, assessment model, and staffing model to make acceleration simple. A numerically inclined Kindergartener might sit with a 1st grade group for math, and then reconvene with her Kindergarten group for social studies and reading. A highly literate 2nd grader might be with 3rd graders for reading and then rejoin his classmates for PE. These transitions occur smoothly and naturally throughout the school day. Depending on their personal journey at Telra, students will finish elementary grades one to three years "ahead" of the standard curriculum sequence. (And sometimes more. 4th and 5th graders taking high school algebra is not uncommon.) Most will then begin working on high school content in middle school, and then when they enter high school, Telra students begin working on early "college level" content, earning actual college course credits and on their path to a degree.

Does your child like moving fast? Have you ever had the experience of asking your child what they learned at school today, only to hear, "Nothing," in response? Have they ever complained about being bored in school or acted out because of it? We Does your child like moving fast? Finish school work quickly? Often bored? Restless and active ? YES Moving Fast > > > > > > > Advanced Learners Word Cloud Maybe you recognize your child here... Advanced or gifted learners often show some of these traits, but no individual has them all. You can read more here: NAGC Davidson Institute MCGT Parents frequently tell us that when they ask what their child learned at school, it's disheartening to hear, "Nothing," as the response. Boredom in school can lead to behavior problems and lower achievement. Many children will learn better , if we let them move faster . At Telra, we nurture challenge and encourage tailored acceleration . Most of our students will finish 5th grade one to three years ahead of the standard course of study. This isn't (usually) because they skip grades. Rather, we compact the curriculum. Think about it this way: A student who starts with Telra in Kindergarten and moves through the curriculum 17% faster than "standard" will be one full grade level ahead by they time finish 5th grade. (Since Telra students work beyond grade level, they are not assessed at "grade level standards." We use our own Telra Institute Standards, which go somewhat beyond grade level.) Our middle school students earn high school credits, and our high school students take college courses (and most will earn an Associate Degree) by the time they graduate. Only a small fraction of kids are ready to skip an entire grade, but many children will learn content at least 20% faster if given a chance.

- Curriculum | Telra Institute
Telra Institute's K-5 curriculum offers a rigorous and comprehensive foundation with tailored acceleration and enrichment opportunities for every student every day. Curriculum Telra Institute's curriculum offers a rigorous and comprehensive foundation with tailored acceleration and enrichment opportunities for every student every day. Mathematics Sciences and Humanities Gym Specials and Explore Mathematics In mathematics, Telra employs the Singapore Math curriculum for younger students (Telra Math 0), Beast Academy math for upper elementary and early middle school (Telra Math 1-5), and Art of Problem Solving for middle and high school (Telra Math 6 and above). Mathematics Course of Study Math Singapore Math The nation of Singapore has consistently ranked at the top on international mathematics exams . Singapore's curriculum was adapted and introduced to the U.S in 1998 and is now in widespread use in both public and private schools. The Singapore method is known for its rigor and its focus on learning fewer concepts at a greater depth than traditional U.S. math curricula. Art of Problem Solving Beast Academy is a problem-solving oriented math curriculum designed with advanced elementary math learners in mind. The program was developed by the mathematics enthusiasts at the Art of Problem Solving to be the curriculum they wish they had as young students, and it progresses into the Art of Problem Solving middle/high school curriculum. The program focuses on building a foundation for more advanced math and science classes, instilling a joy of problem-solving, developing flexibility and perseverance, and teaching students to develop new insights on their own. Sciences and Humanities In the Sciences and Humanities, Telra uses a version of the Core Knowledge sequence heavily supplemented with skill and knowledge-building curricula in the elementary grades. At middle school, students begin transitioning to high-school content in English, History, and Science, and then in high school they begin using college materials. This approach provides the students the benefits of a comprehensive common foundation of content knowledge while creating ample time for enrichment, exploration, inquiry, and the development of advanced skills. Language Science Social Language Arts Course of Study Our youngest learners start with the phonological awareness and phonics curricula to build a solid reading foundation. We use a variety of literacy and language strands to form this foundation and extend their growth as readers and writers: Core Knowledge Language Arts Printing and cursive skills with Zaner-Blosser Shurley Grammar Vocabulary using Caesar's English and the Word within the Word As students transition to middle school, they being working with the rich OAT English curriculum and the Logic & Rhetoric sequence from Classical Academies Press At the high school level, students primarily study content through Central Piedmont Community College. In addition to the CPCC program, Telra also offers courses in Logic & Rhetoric. Science Course of Study The Core Knowledge Science sequence provides students with a firm, cumulative knowledge base in science and engineering design. Beginning in middle school, students study high school science content through the systematic Integrated Science curriculum, beginning with a year long study of Earth and Environmental Science, followed by Biology, and ending with Chemistry/Physics. Each of these courses is linked to a high school credit that students earn toward their graduation requirements. At the high school level, students take science courses through Central Piedmont Community College. For some of these courses, students also participate in recitation sessions with Telra faculty for an even deeper dive into the content. Social Studies Course of Study The Core Knowledge History and Geography sequence helps students build knowledge of diverse civilizations, cultures, and concepts, while incorporating topics from civics & arts and integrating tightly with the Language Arts program. Our 7th & 8th graders explore a grand sweep of history using a combination of Core Knowledge, the World History Project , and OpenStax to earn high school credits in American History and World History At the high school level, students take a variety of courses in social studies, both from Central Piedmont Community College and Telra courses. Students study Personal Finance and American Government ( OpenStax ) from through Telra Institute. As with other subject areas, once students reach high school, their pathways become more individualized and based in CPCCs pathways. Gym We believe physical activity is important. Everything from the traditions of ancient Greece to modern research findings support the idea that honing the body (aside from its intrinsic health benefits) also facilitates learning. That's why our students enjoy PE or an extended recess 2 or more days per week Research shows that physical activity improves speed and accuracy of cognitive tasks, the ability to focus attention, and of course long-term positive health outcomes. Gym Specials and Explore K-3 students rotate through Visual Arts, Writing Workshop, Theater, and PE. Our grade 4+ students also have specials that each take place two days per week. 4th and 5th grade students participate in computer science, P.E. and Writing Workshop. 6th graders have P.E. and art. 7th and 8th graders take P.E. and either French or art. Students in grades 4+ will participate in a weekly workshop called “Explore." Explore is organized into 6-12 week sessions in which students can select a passion project from a set of rotating offerings developed by their teachers. These are determined term-to-term based on interest and staffing. Examples include art, debate, chess, basketball, track, leadership, keyboarding, math club, and poetry. Specials
