Attention all JUNIORS AND SENIORS
As our campus has grown, our high school students have stated that they want more freedom and this is a freedom that many juniors and seniors have throughout the state.
Parents, we will not monitor which juniors and seniors leave for their lunch break. Please speak to your children about safety and the importance of not riding with others.

Nurse's Nook
A little reminder to help you stay ahead of the game-- All Texas Leadership students must have a current and up to date immunization record on file. Please contact your child's pediatrician to set up an appointment if they are reaching their next scheduled immunizations (around 6/7th grade).
If your child is planning on participating in athletics, they will also need a physical. The form can be found on our website or contact david.beaver@tlca-ar.com or Christie.pearson@tlca-ar.com.
