Executive Director Message

July 2025
 
Dear Tillotson Families,
 
We have been hard at work this summer to prepare for an amazing year ahead! Continue reading below for more information!
 
Tillotson is Growing
 
This summer, Tillotson welcomed 45 students to our Extended School Year (ESY) program! This included students from 27 of our partnering school districts and charter schools. Our theme this summer was Nature, and our elementary, middle, and high school students got to experience some amazing field trips! 
 
Building Bridges
 
Over the summer, our 11th and 12th grade students were fortunate to volunteer with Cribs for Kids, Community Kitchens, and South Park. We are looking forward to a continued partnership in the future to give back to our community!
 
Recent Happenings
 
On July 19 and 20, Tillotson volunteered at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix! We had students, former students, families, staff, and board members show up to represent our school for a great cause. Funds from the PVGP go towards supporting individuals with autism and developmental disabilities.
 
Upcoming Events and Important Dates
 
August 20 - Welcome Back Event from 4:00-6:00pm
August 21 - First Day of School for Students
 
Stay tuned for monthly letters, and as always, please reach out with any comments, questions, or concerns!
