TeSA

Our TeSA Admin Team is back! We will be on campus Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Please call 817-732-8372 with any questions. Visitors are also welcome to come to the front office as needed.

Wednesday, August 11th

5:30-7:00

Back to School Night will help you and your child learn everything you need to know for a successful year at TeSA! Class lists will be posted at 5:30, and then the evening will include classroom visits and an opportunity to learn about Fine Arts/P.E. expectations, after-school options, PTO, volunteering, and campus programs. We encourage everyone to come and go as needed.

Texas School of the Arts requires specific uniform pieces for all students. Click HERE to view the most updated uniform information. All uniform items may be purchased through Flynn O'Hara or the PTO Uniform Resale Facebook Page.

The 2021-2022 TeSA Student Handbook has been approved by the Board and is available on the website. Changes include the updated dress code linked above and various minor updates to reflect TeSA, TCA+A, and Texas Education Agency policies. The only curriculum change from 2020-2021 is a switch in Fine Arts/P.E. grading from ABCF to ESNU. More details will be provided on Back to School Night. After viewing the handbook, parents should click HERE to acknowledge accessibility and understanding.

It's important that all of our TeSA students keep learning over the summer! All students will have required assignments to keep learning over the summer break. Click HERE to view your child's assignments. If you're looking for even more educational experiences this summer try our TeSA Summer Family Challenge.

TeSA Summer Family Challenge

1. Cook a meal together. Help your child read the recipe and make all of the measurements. Talk about what you would need to do to double it or cut it in half.

2. Read a book together. Take turns reading aloud. Stop after each chapter to make predictions about what will happen next.

3. Visit a museum. Many museums are still offering virtual tours as well. Talk about what you see, compare and contrast exhibits, and decide what your family would add if you were in charge of a brand new wing.

4. Play games in the car. Whether you're taking a cross country trip or just driving around town, use your time in the car to read, count, and explore. Who can find all the letters to their name in road signs? Who identifies 10 yellow cars first? How long does it take to sit at a stoplight? Make it up as you go and ask the kids to create some of the categories.

If you’d like to purchase your child’s school supplies individually, please click HERE to view the list and be sure to purchase the exact brand, color, size, etc. for each item. Or, if you’d rather let the teachers do the shopping for you, you can purchase school supplies through the TeSA PTO.

TeSA PTO School Supply Fee

We are happy to offer flexible payment options for school supply fees again this year! Now is a great time to begin making payments on your school supply fee(s).

There are multiple payment options, all due in full by AUGUST 5th.

1. ONE time payment (paid by August 5th)

2. TWO monthly payments of (June, July)

3. THREE monthly payments (June, July, August)

*A processing fee of $3.50 will be added to each payment option. There will only be ONE fee per family.*

4. CASH: Families will have the option to make a ONE time payment in EXACT cash for $85 per student to the front office by AUGUST 5th; payment plans are not available for cash payments. Cash payments will NOT be charged the additional $3.50 processing fee.

*CHECKS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED*

For your security, no credit card information will be saved and you will have to input your information with each payment. No matter the payment option, all balances are due by August 5th. If you have any issues, please send an email to fundraising.tesa.pto@gmail.com and you will receive a response within 48 hours.

We hope these payment options have helped alleviate some of the stress of having to pay school supply fees all at once during back-to-school time. You are allowed to bring your own supplies instead of paying the supply fee, however supplies must be the exact brand, size, color and amount as listed by the teachers in your grade.
