Meet Our Teacher of the Year,

Mrs. Rielly

It is my honor to be representing Treasure Coast Classical Academy as Teacher of the Year. I work with inspiring and dedicated teachers and staff at TCCA who motivate me daily to be my best. Before I became a teacher, I worked in the science field as a researcher for the United States Department of Agriculture, as a biologist in a toxicology laboratory, and as an environmental specialist for the Department of Environmental Protection. I learned a lot from these job opportunities. It wasn’t until I became a mother of three that I realized I might want to work with children instead of returning to my science profession working for the state of Florida. All my relatives have careers not related to the teaching profession, so I didn’t have any guidance and I didn’t know of the challenges of becoming a teacher. I knew that I enjoyed volunteering and substituting at my childrens’ school and that I loved teaching my own children about science. My husband encouraged me to follow my heart and teach science. I returned to college and received my graduate degree in environmental education while working as a preschool teacher part-time with three young children. I don’t think I could do that again!

I have been teaching for 12 years and I absolutely love teaching because it is challenging and I am always learning (forever a student). There is never a dull moment in teaching……well except for grading. Most importantly though the students keep me on my toes with their great questions and sense of humor. My main goal as a science teacher is for the students to learn to love science and realize it is a part of our everyday life from health to space to the environment. I want them to understand the natural world around them and to be curious. With their knowledge, understanding, and respect of science, they will be great stewards of our natural resources. This is my third year teaching at Treasure Coast Classical Academy and I am grateful to be working at a school that instills the virtues and follows a classical education. TCCA is an exceptional school that is providing great learning opportunities for students to become future leaders of our community. The staff, students, and families of Treasure Coast Classical Academy support the mission of the school and have created a culture encompassing the pillars of virtue. I am happy to be a part of this wonderful school and thrilled to represent TCCA as Teacher of the Year!

Parental consent:

I wanted to clarify a few of the parental consent choices parents should now make in FOCUS.

The choice that reads: Parent Authorized Health Care Services is referring to Clinic visits. Please choose YES or NO. Leaving this blank is not an option as I must have permission to see and evaluate your scholar's needs. This is not for Mental Health, only for medical needs.

Vision Screenings, Hearing Screenings and Growth and Development may each be opted out individually. A NO for Health Care Services will be an automatic no for any screening.

The media release is permission for the school to use pictures of your scholar. This is not the same as Linton’s release which is for the food service company only.

To make changes on your scholars’ FOCUS, please enter your permissions under profile, mark the change then make sure you hit save at the top of the page.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

School is not just about reading, writing, and arithmetic, our scholars also enjoy their Specials classes: Music, Spanish, and Art! Keep up with all the fun by reading the weekly Specials Newsletter.

Reading is FUNdamental!

Each month we set a goal for our lower school scholars to read a certain number of minutes. The minutes are tallied and at the end of the month scholars receive a tag to add to their backpack for bragging rights.

Kindergarteners need a total of 240 minutes. First through Fifth grade needs 300 minutes. In school and at home reading counts towards the goal!

Volunteer Opportunities
