Can I take a vacation during the school year?
The school calendar includes school holidays and vacation time. You will not have access to your assigned teacher(s) during this time, but you can continue to do school work. Whenever possible, family vacations should align with school vacation days. Parents are encouraged to contact their teacher if they plan a vacation that does not coordinate with the school calendar.
What is an acceptable document to prove my child’s age?
You can provide one of the following documents to verify your child’s age: a birth certificate; a certificate from a hospital, doctor, or religious institution showing the date of birth; an adoption record; a parent’s affidavit; or school records that have already been verified.
Can I get enrollment documents in a language other than English?
TNVA has enhanced the registration packets to ensure they are available in alternate languages, including Spanish. In addition, TNVA has added a Google widget to its website to allow text to be translated from English into Spanish and other languages. As a result of these improvements, all communication throughout the enrollment process, including the school’s enrollment policy and proof of age requirements, are now available in many languages. If you have any questions about these new additions or TNVA’s service for languages other than English, please do not hesitate to contact us at 865.992.9026.
