From the desks of
Mr. Ridenour & Mrs. Jacobs:
Mr. Ridenour and Mrs. Jacobs don't have anything to add this time.
Just keep being great!

Notes from the Nurse:
It is Spring, however the weather is still all over the place. We try to get the kids outside as much as possible. Weather plays a big factor in that. Please help us by making sure that kids are dressed appropriately for the weather each day.
| |
The health office provides extra clothing to children who need to change during the day. We are low on underwear for both girls and boys. If you have any gently used clothing that you no longer need or could provide new, please consider donating them to our health office.
As always, please contact me with any questions or health concerns that you may have. I am available at Burnett Creek, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from about 8am-3pm. You can also reach me via email. Thank you!

VOLUNTEER POLICY
It is a priority of the Tippecanoe School Corporation to provide a safe learning environment for all of our students and employees. In an effort to continue our due diligence, we now require all volunteers having ongoing contact with children and/or supervising students (field trips, etc) to have cleared an expanded criminal background check. These background checks are conducted through Background Investigation Bureau (BIB).
The criminal background check will search national sex offender databases, court records, and other sources. The cost of the criminal history check is $17.95 (base cost) and is paid for by the volunteer through a link on our website.
Once approved, the volunteer will receive a TSC Volunteer identification card that will be valid for a period of three (3) years. If you volunteer in multiple buildings, you will only need to complete one background check.
Volunteer background checks may take several business days to process so it is important to plan ahead.
We appreciate your understanding of this important safety guideline.
