*Back to School Night*
All parents are invited to join us for “Back to School Night” at TSAS, *
tonight,* from 6 to 8pm. Parents are invited to come meet their student’s
teachers and learn more about the classes their students are taking. There
will also be time for a brief visit with your child’s Advisor. Parents will
begin the evening in their student’s 1st hour class. Each student will
have filled out their schedule and it will be waiting to be picked up in
the 1st hour class. A short rotating schedule will allow you to travel
through a mini-day in the life of your student. This is a great night to get
connected with the TSAS community.
Period 1 – 6:10-6:20
Period 2 – 6:25-6:35
Period 3 – 6:40-6:50
Lunch Break – 6:55- 7:05 (Meet the PTSA in the Cafe')
Advisory– 7:10-7:20
Period 4 – 7:25-7:35
Period 5 – 7:40-7:50
*Parents, please find out what class (including teacher and room number)
your child has first hour! You will go to that class first tonight at our
Back to School event, and that is where his/her class schedule will be
waiting for you. We are looking forward to seeing you tonight!

We are in need of cookies (store bought or home-made) and bottled water for
tonight's Back to School Night. Please drop these items off in the front
office today. Thank you!
2012-2013 Planners will be on sale tonight at Back to School Night. TSAS
planners cost ONLY $5.00 and the planner also includes the TSAS school

English classes. Supplies are limited!!! Hurry and get yours before it is
too late!
In regards to tomorrow's TSAS Camp Day, here is a reminder of a few things:
- Regular school hours will apply and students can either purchase a
meal from the café or bring a lunch.
- Because we will be rotating half of the day outside (weather
permitting), students should dress appropriately for the weather.
- Remember the *TSAS Dress Code* requires that shorts must extend to
fingertip length (even if tights or leggings are worn underneath). Shorts
and skirts must be long enough to cover thighs and derriere – even when
bending over. Tops must have wide enough shoulder straps to cover all
undergarments. Spaghetti straps do not meet these requirements. Shirts must
cover backs, shoulders, necklines and midriffs. Sleeveless shirts for men
and women must have conservative arm openings.
- Students are to report to their 1st hour classes tomorrow at regular
time so that attendance can be taken. Shortly after that, we will commence
with our Camp Day.
We look forward to a day filled with getting to know fellow students,
learning about our unique TSAS culture, discovering ways to connect with
our TSAS community, and exploring our cool new TSAS building and campus
grounds.
If you are interested in poetry, speech, storytelling, music, performance
art, competition and/or travel, perhaps TSAS's new club will interest you.
"Louder Than a Bomb" will be TSAS's first poetry slam team and will compete
against other schools in Tulsa. You need zero experience to join and we are
open to ALL grades and personalities. There will be a 15-minute
informational meeting today (August 30th) after school in Dan's room (10)
if you are interested. Everyone is welcome at the meeting whether you know
what slam poetry is or not. Also, there will be cookies. See you there!
A representative from Hendrix College will be available for students to
