• Parent Questions or Concerns: SAO@tka.org.*Parents will receive a response to SAO email in a timely manner.

In attendance reporting, include the following information: 

1. STUDENT'S LAST NAME, as student last names can be different from parent last names. 
2. STUDENT'S GRADE, as there are multiple students with the same name.
3. A BRIEF REASON why your student is at home or not in school (illness, medical or dental appointment, parent's work situation, etc.).

Parents must notify the Attendance Office via Attendance@tka.org before 8:00 a.m. on the day of an absence, even if a student will only miss an hour in the middle of the day.

Every full-day, partial-day or future planned absence must be reported to the SAO through Attendance@tka.org.

Knights Annual Fund

The Knights Annual Fund helps us meet our goal to keep tuition increases low so as many families as possible can afford TKA’s Christ-centered education. At the same time, we seek to maintain the excellence of our academic, spiritual life, and co-curricular programs. Charitable contributions, which are tax-deductible, help us achieve these goals.
