Volunteer Opportunities
During the year there are a number of ways to meet the 10 hour per

classroom. Once you attend a Volunteer Orientation Class and have a
background screening you may sign up to work in a classroom. Volunteer
hours are also available for coming to Parent Education Nights,
Parenting Skill Update classes, becoming an Art Docent, helping with a
fund raiser or a school service project. For parents unable to assist in
the class, ask your child's teacher for ideas on take home or school
grounds maintenance projects. Volunteer hours are recorded on a special
sheet and located near the classroom door. Once you have fulfilled the
volunteer requirement you are encouraged to continue assisting in your
child's classroom but no longer need to record your time.
