The new school year is well on its way, while kids and families are settling into their fall routines. Some updates and reminders as we welcome September! GoPlaySave Our annual coupon book fundraiser is underway. All families should have received one loaner book per family and one sales envelope per student. Please visit our GoPlaySave page to learn more about the program. Please remember to return books and/or orders to the box in the front office . (If you do not want to participate, you can return the book and envelope to this box as well.) If we somehow missed you, and you did not receive a book, please email GoPlaySave@telra.org Extracurriculars and Dismissal Plans If you are participating in any Telra afterschool activities, you must update your dismissal plans using our new tool to let us know. Merely signing up for an activity does not change your dismissal plans in our system. If your child would like to take part in the Math Team tryout this Thursday, updating your dismissal plan functions as your "sign-up." Be sure to update your plan by noon on Thursday! Is your child interested in playing on a Telra basketball team ? Are you interested in coaching a Telra basketball team? We have an opportunity to participate in the winter MARA basketball league. Let us know if you'd like to participate! Does your child want to try disc golf ? We have a new extracurricular offering. Sign up on the interest list. The Dismissals and Absences tool is also what we use now for reporting absences, doctor's notes, and scheduling early dismissal. Find instructions here . Please use the tool rather than emailing the front desk! We have over 600 students, and emails can easily be missed. We are trying to build a more reliable and robust system for everyone. School lunch A reminder that orders for school lunch must be placed by the Monday 2 weeks ahead of time . Example: Order by Noon on Sep 9, if you'd like to purchase lunch for the week of Sep 23-27. Place your lunch order and see if you can qualify for free lunch on our lunch page . Car line operations You may have noticed that our car and bus operations have steadily improved. Our staff is always diligently working to make things go faster, smoother, and safer for our students and families. A couple of notes about car lines: Please pay heed to the recommended arrival times for morning and afternoon car lines. Arriving too early for either process creates backups on McKee Rd and prevents our staff, neighbors, volunteers, and service providers from getting where they need to go. Aim to arrive between 7:45-8:05 in the mornings Aim to arrive between 3:35-3:55 in the afternoons Please use the car-line for drop off rather than walking your child to the door. Walking them to the entrance, while well-intentioned, can often make goodbyes more challenging and increase separation anxiety. By using the carline, you’re helping your child build confidence and independence while also keeping the flow of traffic moving smoothly. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us create a positive and efficient start to the day for all our students!

We are once again excited to host the GoPlaySave Telra fundraiser ! GoPlaySave is a popular Charlotte area coupon book, and our school can raise funds when our students sell these books to neighbors, friends, and family. Why do we do it? Proceeds from this sale help fund exciting opportunities for our students, such as field trips, field day, and more! Charter schools receive a minimum level of funding, so fundraisers like this help us to provide these extras. But of all possible fundraising sales, we chose GoPlaySave because we think it provides value to our families as well! Each book is $30 and is full of coupons for restaurants and attractions all around the Charlotte area. It’s a smart investment and easy to make your money back in just a couple of uses . Your friends, family and neighbors will love this book! What’s in it for YOU? Sell 5 GoPlaySave books, and get a FREE book! Get another FREE book for every 5 more books you sell! Earn rewards like passes to Victory Lane Karting, Sports Connection, Sky Zone, and Brixx! See our Family Rewards flyer for more details How does it work? One loaner book is sent home with the youngest student in each family. You can buy this book, or even better, use it to show potential customers what they will receive if they buy a book for themselves! Each student will also receive an envelope to record orders and enclose payments . Payment options: cash, check (made payable to Telra Institute, or credit card by using our school link goplaysavecharlotte.com/store/telra2025 ) You can even visit the link above to set up your own custom URL to share with others! Envelopes with payments should be turned in to the front office between Wednesday 9/11 and Friday 9/13. (Please don't bring these to your child's teacher.) All Orders (including those placed online) will be sent home with students to deliver to customers. There is no option to ship. If you are unable to help with our fundraiser, please return your book in the envelope with your child's name (so we know who it was returned by) to the front office as soon as possible, or before Sept. 13.
