Behavior/Attitude Policy*
        Academic excellence and personal responsibility are the primary goals at TLC. Personal responsibility is choosing to follow our school standards including attitude and behavior. All of Triumphant Learning Center's teachers recognize that students' behavior outside the classroom may affect behavior inside the classroom. Teachers will explain the rules and accompanying rewards and consequences that govern all aspects of school behavior. Teachers will also address tardiness, missing homework, unacceptable work, inappropriate behavior, preparedness, and general citizenship. We do not allow students to hurt one another, damage materials, or act in a manner that is abusive or disrespectful to teachers, adults, peers, and self.

Attendance Policy*
        It is important for parents to honor regular and punctual attendance because it is crucial in your child's academic and social progress. Children who arrive late feel awkward about their tardiness, and the concentration of the other children is disrupted. Similarly, it is important to arrive promptly at dismissal time to provide security for your child.
        TLC does not make a distinction between excused and unexcused absences. The student is missing instructional time no matter the reason. The TLC Governing Board considers five (5) absences in a semester to be EXCESSIVE. Any student who is absent a total of 10 days in the school year will be in jeopardy of retention.

Tardy Policy*
     When a student arrives late to school, the student and parent (guardian) must go to the school office for a admittance slip. Tardy students are required to spend one hour after school on the same day of their tardy – NO EXCUSES. Students will be completing homework, writing, or reading. After 6 tardies, a conference will be held to rectify the problem. Should an impasse be reached or more tardies occur, the TLC Governing Board will decide appropriate action (retention, suspension, or expulsion.)

Dress Code*
        Parents enroll their children here because TLC offers higher academic standards and character building. Personal responsibility is choosing to follow our school standards including dress. TLC is striving to achieve character building through conservatism, not pop culture.
        Triumphant Learning Center keeps a casual dress code. Students' dress should convey pride, decency, common sense, and self-respect. Our students should not be distracted with fashion, but rather concentrate on academics. We are supporting individualism and responsibility by allowing students to choose their own dress within the parameters of clean, neat, and modest wear which is described below.
        TLC staff will have the discretion of determining dress code parameters on a daily basis. Please help our staff by checking your child's clothing each morning before school. If you are not sure whether an article of clothing follows the dress code, please have your child wear something else. Do not allow your child to dress in inappropriate wear in hopes of him/her being reprimanded at school. Parents, please choose to follow the school's dress code policy concerning your child's clothing choices!
