CTL is committed to fostering a unique community of learners that includes families, teachers, staff, and other community members who are active participants in the educational, social, and emotional development of our children. We encourage community and parent involvement to develop children's understandings of the connections between classroom and real-world experiences and invite parent to be partners in the eduction of their children.  Ongoing and active communication is vital to the parent teacher relationship and is maintained in a variety of ways such as e-mail, written communication, phone calls, and parent teacher conferences. Through parent engagement we tap the abundant resources they provide within the community thus building a dedicated partnership between the school and the community. This, in turn, meaningfully enhances and enriches our children's educational experiences.
