      Tenderloin Community School invites all families to participate in their child's education by being present at the school, volunteering in their child's classroom, collaborating with our parent liaison, and getting together in the BAWCC Family Room. Parents are also invited to be involved with the elected School Site Council, the volunteer English Language Advisory Counci, and to work with our Parent Liaison to support teachers with classroom preparation, fundraising, and school events. The school communicates to parents through a monthly principal's newsletter and classroom newsletters. The principal hosts a monthly "Coffee with the Principal" meeting. The Bay Area Women's and Children's Center offers monthly parenting workshops on various topics of family interest.

      Back-to-School Night in August is an excellent opportunity to learn about our curriculum. We offer a Family Literacy Night, Family Art Night, and a Spring Carnival to highlight and celebrate learning and our commitment to our community. All families are actively encouraged to attend Parent-Teacher Conferences in the fall and Portfolio Night in the Spring.
