Family Resources

Helpful tools for parents & learners.

Welcome to The Villages Charter School Autism Center (TVCSAC) family! We have compiled a checklist that explains the important programs, apps and websites used to help you and your child have a successful school year.

Parent Involvement

Get involved! Research indicates that parents who participate in their child’s academic life can greatly increase their chances of success.

Parental Involvement (PI) hours may take many forms and our Charter School Advisory Board has determined a level of participation for each family, as well as specific areas where parents can have the greatest impact.

Local Resources

We have created a helpful list of organizations, programs and providers that offer services to individuals on the autism spectrum and their families, including:

  • Therapists
  • Family advocates
  • Parent coaches
  • And more.

Clever

Access your child’s curriculum resources including textbooks, apps, and a variety of educational resources in one secure spot.

To activate, please contact the Central Office at 352-259-2350 for your username and password.

Skyward

Stay informed on your child’s attendance records, test grades, missing assignments and more. With Skyward, you can have a great overview of how they are doing and if there’s anything you can do to help.

To activate, please contact the Central Office at 352-259-2350 for your username and password.

Parent Square

Receive communications from the district office and your child’s classroom, all in one place.

  • Receive attendance alerts
  • Learn about school events
  • Get quick updates

To activate, please contact the Central Office at 352-259-2350 for your username and password.

PikMyKid

Manage daily school dismissals clearly and seamlessly. This notification system increases the safety of student releases, gives teachers more time with students and helps everyone stay informed on all dismissal instructions.

  • Notify the school of pick up changes
  • Authorize other family members to pick up your child
  • Manage carpool with other parents

EZSchoolPay

For the 2025-2026 school year, The Villages Charter School is able to offer a breakfast and a lunch to every student… at no cost to you. Learn more about our Food Service offerings.

You can also purchase à la carte items (additional entrée, snacks, drinks, etc.) that are not included in the basic breakfast or lunch. Available anywhere, anytime, you can avoid lost checks and trips to school with forgotten lunch money by securely paying online. Review transaction history, check balances, receive low balance alerts and make deposits that are available in minutes!

Uniforms

Learn about our uniform policy, created to ensure all students have the opportunity to learn and grow in a business-like environment conducive to learning.

We hope that holding students accountable for these expectations will continue our success in growing your children into responsible, well-rounded individuals with entrepreneurial spirits.

Also, families can benefit from a uniform “swap” or purchase gently used, outgrown items at events led by Buffalo HERD. 

After Care

Enjoy peace of mind with an optional after school program that provides a safe, supervised environment full of enriching and age-appropriate activities for Autism Center students with a 5:1 ratio, including:

  • Active supervision
  • Predictable structure
  • ABA-informed strategies
  • Sensory-supportive environments
  • And more

Buffalo PACK

Buffalo PACK is a subgroup of the Buffalo HERD, supporting The Villages Charter School (TVCS). It focuses on fundraising for TVCSAC, encouraging parental involvement, and hosting events that enrich students’ lives.
