Volunteer Program
August 22, 2008
Parents/guardians and other members of the community are encouraged to share their time, knowledge and abilities with our students. Volunteer assistance enriches the educational program, enhances supervision of students and contributes to school safety while strengthening the school’s relationship with the community. (Note: A person required to register as a sex offender pursuant to Penal Code 290 may not serve as a volunteer.) There are many ways to volunteer time, including:
At School:
• Come in and talk about your career
• Read to the class or individual students
• Share your culture or ethnic background with food and celebrations
• Tutor struggling students
• Help out with an art or science activity
• Direct an activity or share a special skill
• Set up and clean up a class party
• Chaperone a field trip
At Your Home or Office:
• Make classroom materials
• Help plan a school event
• Invite class for a tour of your office or place of business
Anytime:
• Recruit other parents to help
• Research and organize community service projects
• Coordinate a school fundraiser
• Join a committee (e.g., Parent-Teacher Club, District/School Advisory Committees)
• Put your own expertise and connections to work
