Applications for 2012-13 TIE-INS Program now being accepted

Applications for the 2012-13 TIE-INS Program are now being accepted through March 30, 2012.
 
Now in its fourth year, the program enables children of UCLA employees to attend four public schools close to campus: Nora Sterry Elementary School, Brockton Avenue School (an elementary school), Emerson Middle School and University High School. The program was developed by the Graduate School of Education & Information Studies at Chancellor Gene Block's behest.
 
The 2012-13 application is online. All UCLA academic appointees and career (non-probationary) staff at any classification level are eligible to apply to participate in the program. For employees who need access to a computer or the Internet to complete an application, computers are available at Center X, Housing and Hospitality Services, General Services or Campus Human Resources, Suite 200, in the Wilshire Center. Applications are due by March 30, 2012.
 
Although Emerson Middle School and University High School will be able to accept all applicants, Nora Sterry Elementary School and Brockton Avenue School may have limited space at some grade levels. Preference will be given to kindergartners and first-graders (and their elementary school-aged siblings), and priorities will be established by deans and vice chancellors for their organizations.
 
The TIE-INS Program will be of particular importance to UCLA employees interested in having their children attend nearby schools. Parents will be able to take onsite tours and attend information sessions being offered by the four participating schools. In addition, UCLA’s Graduate School of Education & Information Studies will host a get-together in March for faculty and staff currently participating in TIE-INS to meet with parents who are considering the program. For complete details about the March event and all TIE-INS activities, visit the website.
 
If you have any questions about this process or the online application, contact Christine Shen at shen@gseis.ucla.edu.
