K-4 parents and students who are brand new to Turning Point School should plan to attend the New Family Orientation.

Please mark your calendars for the morning of Monday, August 28 from 9:00 - 9:45 am.

Administrators will give an overview of your family’s transition to our community, and Will Segar, Elementary Division Head will provide specific details about school events, programs, policies/procedures, and other FAQs.

Nutrition Information | Food Awareness

Turning Point School is dedicated to helping students develop lifelong healthy patterns. Guiding students toward nutrient-dense and minimally processed foods that provide the energy required for active learning is a goal we share with our parent community.

Please read our Nutrition Policy for guidelines on encouraging proper nutrition for your child.

Hot Lunch Program | Fresh Lunches

Turning Point is excited this year to partner with Fresh Lunches to provide hot lunch options for families of all students. There will be discounts available for families who receive Tuition Assistance.

Fresh Lunches creates healthy food, great-tasting, and well-balanced meals using fresh, wholesome, minimally processed ingredients. They have a user-friendly app that you can access from computers, tablets, and phones.

IMPORTANT:
If children are bringing lunch from home, it is expected that lunch will be brought to school in the morning, by the student. To encourage students to develop a sense of responsibility, we ask that lunch not be brought in later by an adult. (We will make sure they get sustenance for the day!)

Food delivery services such as DoorDash or PostMates are not permitted.

Daily Snacks

We ask that each student bring a nutritious snack to eat during their scheduled snack time. If a student stays for after-school activities, we ask that you provide a nutritious after-school snack. For students who stay past 5:00 pm, an additional snack will be provided by the school.

Back-to-School Supplies

Students should arrive to school with a backpack, any required work listed in grade-specific Summer Packets, and a sustainable snack/lunch. All other materials/supplies are provided by the school or will be communicated by Head Teachers on the first day.

Class Placements

Class placements are determined later in August and shared with families at that time.

Parent Association

Every parent at Turning Point School is an important member of the Parent Association. There are no extra dues or requirements to join – just a desire to lend time and talents in a way that is most meaningful for each individual.

There are a number of committees that parents (and even grandparents!) can join, and countless ways our school and students benefit from each parent's experience, interests, and abilities.

More information on how to become involved will be shared after the start of the school year.

Label Your Child's Belongings

Please help us keep track of your child's belongings by labeling all items. We have secured a 20% discount for all families through Name Bubbles, a company that creates custom labels that can be used on clothing, lunchboxes, backpacks, and more. Use the discount code TURNINGPOINT20 at checkout to receive your discount.

Parent Portal FAQ

Everything you need to know to navigate your parent experience at Turning Point School can be found on your Parent Portal. Learn about your parent portal here.

SchoolPass App for Attendance

Turning Point uses a web-based platform/app called SchoolPass to allow parents to report absences and early dismissals, track cars that enter and exit campus, reserve After Care, and manage dismissals and carpool.

Every parent will have access to SchoolPass; more information and instructions will be sent to you prior to the start of the school year.
