About Tierra Linda

Academic performance is an important part of our goals at TL. Students are expected to work to their potential and to be successful must achieve a 2.0 GPA average over the three trimesters. Honors standing will be recognized each trimester and will be awarded to those students with a 3.5 GPA. One of the most important lessons we can teach our students is academic responsibility and with the social pressures of adolescence, this means focusing on school work at the appropriate times while maintaining those peer relationships that are so important to them.

The staff at TL is committed to supporting all students. To that end, we have an SST (Student Study Team) structure that provides a forum with parent and teacher input for students in need of support. A 504 Plan provides accommodations for students in general education classes while our RSP program is developed based on an IEP (Individual Education Plan) for those students who may need a modified program on a withdrawal basis.

During this exciting year at Tierra Linda, it is important to remember that the success of our students is dependent on the efforts of the students themselves, the parents, and the school staff. Communication will be a vital piece of the puzzle. We urge you to be involved with your child’s education either as a member of our PTA or as an interested parent. Please feel free to call teachers for updates in all situations, and remember that there are always two sides to a story and it’s important that you get both perspectives.
