VOLUNTEERAn important activity that helps your child – and his or her school!
Volunteering is an important part of your child’s education. Volunteers can be parents, grandparents or interested community members. Volunteers make a difference in our students’ lives and play an invaluable role in their education and development. Students’ behaviors improve drastically when they know their parents or other interested parties are a part of the school.
Volunteering can occur in various capacities throughout the school year. It includes participation in PTA and Local School Council meetings to assist the school in its progress toward excellence. Volunteer activities vary from school to school, and volunteers can help with a wide variety of activities in many places in the school, such as:
- Classroom
- Booster tutoring
- Office
- Library
- Field trips-driving, escorting
- Science lab
- Musical assistance, such as violin tuning
- Noon supervision
- Kinder playground supervision
- Art
