Background Checks

We ask that all families complete a volunteer background check at the start of the year. They do not carry over from year to year. Since the background checks take time to process, we ask that everyone complete one in case any type of volunteering opportunity (class field trip, Dad's Club, Room parent, class volunteer, field day, etc.) arises during the year that you are interested in. Please click on the link below to complete it.

TCE Field Day - A Note From Our Field Day Coordinators
Hello!

We are so excited about our upcoming Field Day on Monday, May 20th! I’ve had a few parents ask about Field Day, so I wanted to address some FAQs!

What is Field Day?! It is a day for our learners to celebrate an awesome school year! They travel to different stations throughout the day including bounce houses, a water slide, sponge relay races, treats and MORE! One of the stations is walking to the Coppell City CORE (Coppell City’s Pool) to go swimming! The CORE will have lifeguards on hand and also has some life jackets available for swimmers. If your child is not a strong swimmer and requires a life jacket, please reach out to your homeroom teacher ASAP. It is imperative for you to talk to your student about swimming expectations. The CORE is great because there is not only a swimming pool but a splash pad and water playground so all our students, regardless of skill level, will have a great time!

What will your kiddo need to wear on Field Day, May 20th? Please have them wear a swimsuit (girls under their clothes and boys wear swimsuit bottoms) and their grade level t-shirt and flip flops/crocs or shoes that can get wet. We will have lots of WATER activities!

What do kids need to bring to field day? Please bring a LABELED water bottle as it will probably be warm! Students will also need a LABELED towel with their initials on it. Our amazing Room Parents that will be walking our classes from station to station will keep track of the towels and lunches.

What about lunch? Your child can either pack a LABELED sack lunch or purchase one from the cafeteria. We will eat picnic-style outside the school.

Anything else we need? Learners will be outside most of the day, so please apply sunscreen on your child before school and send additional if needed. We also ask that you send a dry change of clothes they can change into when they return to school.

We are excited for an amazing day for our learners to wrap out this year!
