Team Building Day: Let’s Band Together this Year!...A Great Success!
On August 14th, all TZ students participated in a team building day. The theme of this day was “Let’s Band Together this Year!” Each class participated in team building activities and games that focused on communication, problem solving, cooperation, and empathy. This was a fun way for students to get to know and feel comfortable with their classmates in preparation for weekly class meetings (part of our Olweus Anti-Bullying Program).
Volunteer in the Classroom or Field Trip--Need Background Check On File--Good for One Year
At TZ we appreciate parents/guardians that would like to volunteer to assist in the classrooms and/or go on field trips. As a part of any volunteer activity, we must have a cleared background check on file for each person wanting to assist here at school or accompany a class on a field trip.
I wanted to take time to clarify the limited/volunteer background checks. These background checks are free to our volunteers. A limited/volunteer background check is only good for one calendar year. If a volunteer wishes to continue volunteering after one year, they must submit a new application.
A link to the form that needs to be completed and turned in to the TZ office is below. You may also come by the school to complete the form. We do need to have a copy of your driver’s license to process the request.
Again, we appreciate your willingness to volunteer.
Mr. Strube
