The institution provides access to information resources and materials to support the curriculum, programs, and needs of students, staff, and the institution.

Overview

Tiger Academy shares important information with families and the general public via the school's website and a weekly newsletters to parents and alumni. The newsletters inform families present and past of community resources available. Being a branch of the YMCA, Tiger Academy is able to not only support families academically, but also physically, socially, and financially through various services. Other community partners give our scholars and their families additional support as needed.

Tiger Academy also utilizes an intranet site dedicated to resources for teachers and staff named the Tiger Connection. On this site, staff can easily find general information such as schedules, forms, student information, instruction, guidance, and technology resources. The Tiger Connection site also houses an easy access link for live technology support. In addition, the institution employs a School Support Services Director that is responsible for coordinating community partnerships and parent volunteers. This individual also works closely with all 5th grade scholars and their families as they navigate selecting and transitioning to a middle school that will best serve their individual needs and future goals.
