> Being a Thurgood Marshall Academy Parent

Parents and guardians play a critical role at Thurgood Marshall Academy, and their involvement is an essential component of student success. Parents meet with an administrator when their child submits an enrollment application to learn more about our curriculum, programs, and disciplinary expectations.

We ask parents who enroll their children at Thurgood Marshall Academy to agree to the following:

Monitoring attendance and ensuring that their child attends school.
Making sure students complete assigned homework.
Providing all necessary supplies for their child.
Attending all portfolio presentations and Open Houses.
Participating as appropriate in decisions relating to their child’s education.
Staying informed about their child's education by promptly reading all notices from the school received either by their child or by mail.
Communicating with teachers and school administration.
Participating to the extent possible in the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO).

We offer Open Houses throughout the year to allow teachers to speak with teachers and administrators about their child's progress. We also have monthly PTO meetings.
