Looking for TLC Morning Program schedule

Question: Except for the one time someone asked a question about the TLC Morning Program schedule, it typically seems to be quite late in being posted for the current month. Can this be posted earlier? As mentioned previously, it's nice for planning purposes.

Answer: Because of the holiday break, the January Morning Program schedule was behind, but it is usually on the district Web site by the first of each month.

If you ever have questions about the Morning Program schedule, please call The Learning Community office at 954-2650.

Defining Responsive Classroom

Question: What is a Responsive Classroom?

Answer: Responsive Classroom is a school-wide approach to creating challenging, safe and enjoyable learning experiences. A lot of ideas from Responsive Classroom are things we've been doing for years, like Morning Program. The biggest change is that we've made this a common philosophy for our entire school.

Morning Program schedule

Question: Is there a way to see what is planned for Morning Program at the Learning Community each week? I see that you have a Morning Program link on the district Web site which shows the calendar for one month, but November is yet to be posted. Is there anyway to learn about upcoming months so that I can plan ahead with my work schedule?

Answer: We apologize about the lateness of the posting of the November Morning Program schedule to the district Web site. It was a few days late this month. In general, we try to get it to the district Webmaster before the first of each month.

The Morning Program schedule for the entire year is laid out during the summer, and we try to post the Morning Program schedule for each month at least a few days before that month begins. We don't post it any earlier than that because the schedule changes often and we wouldn't want parents to show up for an event that had been postponed or cancelled.

If you ever have any questions about the Morning Program schedule, you can always call The Learning Community main office.

"Social" learning at TLC

Question: My child is at The Learning Community and you spend lots of time in Morning Program, writing songs, and not teaching. I know you say "social" is as important as teaching academics but I want my child to spend more time learning!

Answer: Morning Program at The Learning Community has been going strong for more than 10 years. Currently, the entire school gets together three days a week -- Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays -- for Morning Programs.

Morning Program is an integral part of the TLC character education program, which is a requirement of the state education department for children of this age. Character education includes such concepts as citizenship, tolerance, respect and responsibility -- all of which are emphasized at Morning Program throughout the year.
