Please Welcome Mrs. Jill Williams
Mrs. Jill Williams will be joining us as secretary in the front office starting April 30. We are very excited for her to be a part of our team. Below is a a little bit about Jill. We hope you get a chance to stop by and say hello.
I graduated from Indiana University Bloomington with a Bachelor of Science in Public Affairs. My family and I have lived in Zionsville for eight years, we are originally from Seymour, Indiana. I have three sons. My oldest is a senior at ZCHS, he will be leaving for college in August, and I have twins at ZMS. I am excited to see some familiar faces at Eagle Elementary, and looking forward to making many new friends.

Eagle STEM Night
Tuesday, May 8th 5:30-7:30pm
This year our STEM night is themed around our One Book, One School title, The Great Fall by Dan Santat. This family event is a time for everyone to experience fun in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Beginning at 5:30 PM on Tuesday, May 8th families will have time and materials to build, code, design, test, experience, and learn. This will also be an opportunity for students showcase their learning related to STEM. Be sure to join us to learn about upcoming projects and ultimate egg drops which will begin at 7:00pm.
Ultimate Egg Drop @7:00.
- Space and materials will be provided.
- The goal is to protect a large egg that will be dropped from 10+ feet. The design must allow the egg to be easily loaded and unloaded (eggs will be provided).
- You can also create your design at home and bring it with you if you would like.

This also helps donate to our school. So, this summer as the temperature hits 100 degrees and lines at the checkout counter are a mile long … you can know that you’re school supplies purchases have been completed from the comfort of your home!!! Super fast. Just click, click, and done! You can get started by clicking the link below:
As the school year comes to an end, please make sure that your textbook rental fees are paid. Textbook rental fees that are not paid in full by the end of the school year will be sent to a licensed collection agency.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR VOLUNTEERS
We value partnerships with our families and welcome parents and guardians to serve as volunteers in our schools. Each ZCS building offers a wide variety of volunteer opportunities.
Examples include:
Field Trip Chaperones
Out of Town/Overnight Chaperones
Tutors
Volunteer Coaches
Classroom Helpers (PTO parties/room parents)
Library Helpers
After Prom Workers
Field Day/Jog-A-Thon Volunteers
Book Fair Sales/Athletic Ticket Sales
During the school day, all volunteers are expected to sign in at the front office. Prior to the volunteer opportunity, all volunteers must sign a Non-disclosure Acknowledgement Form and have successfully completed a Full Criminal History Background Check. Necessary background check paperwork is available on the ZCS website at the Volunteers/BRAVO link and should be submitted at least 10 days prior to the intended volunteer date. Volunteers must also view the state mandated confidentiality/bullying video, provided on the Volunteer/BRAVO website. The volunteer will pay the fee* for the full background check which will expire after 5 years. The link to apply for the full background check can be accessed on the Volunteers/BRAVO link on the ZCS main webpage. For more information, contact the Volunteer/BRAVO Coordinator.
CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR VISITORS
During the school day, all visitors must enter via the front door and sign-in at the front office. Visitors need to be prepared to present a government issued photo ID which will be scanned against the National Sex Offender Registry. All visitors will be issued a visitor badge/tag to be worn inside the building at all times.
Examples Include:
Lunch Guests
Classroom Guest Speakers
Classroom Special Events (Grandparent Day/Famous Hoosiers/etc.)
Parent/Teacher Conferences
We ask that all visitors schedule an appointment to meet with teachers, counselors, administrators and all other staff members so that we may best serve everyone. Visitors other than parents/guardians must be prearranged and organized through the main office.
*ZCS thanks all volunteers for generous support of our youth and schools. Thank you, too, for supporting assurance of student and staff safety by completing and paying for a volunteer background check.
