TZ Subway Night--Monday, Aug. 15
This is a TZ Subway Night...If you are going to Subway, please bring the flyer below to give TZ credit. A hard copy will be sent home with students.
Dear TZ Parents/Guardians,
This is just a courtesy message to inform you that we have completed several safety drills over the past few days of school. Each year we are required to practice fire, tornado, man-made occurrence drills (i.e., lock down), and earthquake drills. The goal of the drills is not to alarm the students, but to practice procedures and to be ready if we were to have an actual emergency. We have had a practice fire drill, a practice tornado drill, and a practice lock down drill. Each time there was warning in advance that we were practicing the drill and follow up discussion after the drill. We will have a fire drill each month, along with three more tornado drills and one additional man-made occurrence drill. The school will take part in the Great Central US Shakeout (Earthquake Drill) in October.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding these safety drills.
Respectfully,
Jon Strube

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
