​FAQ:

I don't have enough unique email addresses when registering my children. What should I do? 
No problem! Google has a simple workaround! Use any valid gmail address and add +insert name of child before @gmail.com. For example, Jane McCartney is the mother of Michael McCartney, age 10. Jane's real gmail is jane.mccartney@gmail.com. Jane registers her son, Michael, using the workaround email: jane.mccartney+michael@gmail.com. The system will recognize this email as a valid email address.

Why Participate?

​TASIS Dorado plays an active role in the life of not only its students and their families but also surrounding neighborhoods. The IRONBEAR 2.0 Challenge is an ideal way to impact our larger community. 

A stronger TASIS Dorado benefits all of us. Students are encouraged to pursue academic and personal excellence in order to become engaged global citizens and innovative, selfless leaders. Faculty and staff are provided the tools they need to share both their expertise and heart for commitment. Community members benefit from TD students sharing their talents -- academic, athletic, creative, humanitarian -- to enhance the vibrancy of the surrounding areas.

Our goal is to have fun, get some exercise, and reach out to family and friends for support. As a cohesive community, we can work as one and continue to be Strong Alone and UNSTOPPABLE together.

 





How Your Support Makes a Difference

All contributions to the IRONBEAR 2.0 Challenge will support improvements to TASIS Dorado’s campus and program offerings for both current and future students. Developing a Wellness & Athletics Center will lay the foundation for years of exciting competition and personal growth for both youth and adults. It will also help further encourage all members of the TASIS community to adopt and maintain healthy behaviors with a strong focus on nutrition, physical activity, and mental health.
