What is a volunteer?

What is his/her role?

"A volunteer is any individual who assists at a school site or District office without monetary compensation. This includes parents, community members, interns, and in some cases, high school or college students who are assisting classified and certificated personnel."

The role of volunteers is to assist the school to improve the academic achievement of all students and support the District’s goal of 100 % graduation and ensuring that all students are "Ready for the World".

2. Respectful/Citizenship

• Parent volunteers are role models of the be safe, be respectful, be responsible behavioral expectations.
• We expect all adults to remain composed at all times in order to foster an environment effective for learning.

3. Confidentiality

• You may become aware of sensitive information related to a student's academic performance, behavior, or personal circumstances.
• Maintain student privacy by keeping this information confidential. Do not discuss what you see or hear with other parents or students.
• Maintaining confidentiality helps build trust, protects student dignity, and ensures a safe and respectful environment for everyone.

4. Questions and Issues

• Each teacher is responsible for making decisions that serve the best interest of the entire class.
• If a problem, concern, or issue arises, we ask that it be brought directly to the teacher's or administrator’s attention in a private and timely manner.
• The expectation is that parent volunteers observe and report, never intervene.

5. Helping the Teacher and the Class

• Please keep your role as parent and volunteer separate. Allow your child to navigate classroom routines and school procedures and solve problems on their own.
• Your primary role is to support our school’s instructional and safety efforts, therefore you might not always be placed in your child’s class.
• Parents can volunteer for a minimum of 30 minutes and up to an hour in the classroom each day
• In the classroom, volunteering has to be approved with the teacher and administrator.
