Such volunteers provide significant services to students by supplementing the work of paid professional and paraprofessional staff. Typical assignments include making centers, cutting out bulletin board materials, and helping with practice and follow-up assignments for individual students needing extra attention and help. Parents may sign up to volunteer during our Back to School Open House in September, or by contacting the PTA's Parent Coordinator. Each volunteer has a name tag to identify them, and is asked to wear it while working in the school. Also, volunteers may not bring younger siblings in to be with them while they work.
Liability is a problem when our volunteers have a dual responsibility.
We need help in all grade levels and specials. Consider helping even if you do not have a child in that particular classroom. Each volunteer is deeply appreciated by the staff.
