Volunteer Requirement
Each family that has a student in the elementary classroom is required to volunteer in the classroom once per month (Sept.- May), for a full school day. Volunteer arrangements outside of this are possible but must be approved and agreed upon by the Volunteer Coordinator. If a family is not able to fulfill the volunteer requirement, a fee of $450 yearly, or $50 for each month will be assessed. Volunteer Fees should be paid monthly with tuition payment; unpaid Volunteer Fees will be totaled & assessed at the end of each semester.
Please note that families that only have preschool student are not required to volunteer, but should preschool families choose to volunteer, a background check must have been completed and passed.
Background Checks
All volunteers (and staff) are required to complete a background check every 3 years. TBFS utilizes CompuFact for this service. A link to the volunteer application will be sent to all families and volunteers must complete the
Volunteer Application Form (see link above).
