Parent Support Requested

TIMA is currently crafting an academy-wide AI policy to guide the use of AI as a resource. This technology is expanding exponentially in the marketplace and on all online platforms, so we want to ensure that we have thoughtful guidance to support our staff and students and ensure, as always, that our practices maintain student privacy and support student learning. We are looking for a few volunteers to read our draft policy and to share some feedback from a parent perspective. If you would be willing to lend some time to support this process, please just click the link below to sign up.

Lunch Volunteers

Give a Teacher a Duty-Free Lunch! 🍎

Our goal is to provide every teacher with one duty-free lunch each week—and we need your help to make it happen!

As a lunch volunteer, you’ll help students move through the lunch line, open lunch items, supervise students, tidy up between lunches, and occasionally tackle a spill or two. Most importantly, your time gives a TIMA teacher a chance to enjoy a well-deserved break during the school day.

Ready to help? Check out the available lunch volunteer slots and sign up using the button below!

Not yet a certified volunteer? No problem! Use the button below to visit our volunteer page and complete the required steps to get started.
