Volunteers One of the most important hallmarks of an excellent school is the high level of participation and involvement of students parents. At PES we are fortunate indeed to have school volunteers who contribute to every aspect of teaching and learning. There are many ways to volunteer. Parents, grandparents, and community members volunteer in classrooms, the library, the nurse s office, the playground, the computer education program, on field trips, and special events such as the Children in the Arts Day. Volunteer participation also includes valuable at home contributions, such as baking for a special classroom event, making costumes for school productions, typing children s stories, etc.
Confidentiality is essential for all school volunteers.
What you might learn about the lives and needs of children at PES needs to be treated with utmost respect for students and their families. Before you volunteer at school, you must sign a confidentiality and immunity form which is available in the Main Office. On an emergency basis, outdoor winter clothing is available to children at no cost to the family. If you experience such a need, please contact the PES School Nurse.
