PROCEDURES WHEN VOLUNTEERING
PROCEDURES WHEN VOLUNTEERING
Volunteer forms
You must complete a Volunteer Application and a Criminal Record History Release( CRHR) form each year for each school at which you would like to volunteer. Once your application has been accepted, a school staff member will contact you to begin your assignment.
Signing-in
When you enter the school, staff will direct you to swipe your license to allow access to the building. You will be asked to sign in each time you volunteer at the school. For security reasons, and in the case of an emergency, it is important for the principal and office support to know who is in the building and why.
Recording volunteer time
Please be sure to record the time you volunteered and sign out before you leave. If you do volunteer work at home, keep track of your hours and share them with Volunteer Services. A record of volunteer hours enables the school to evaluate its volunteer program and recognize volunteers for their contribution of time. The hours spent volunteering are an example of the commitment to quality education at our schools.
Name tag
Pick up a name tag upon entering the school. By wearing a name tag designated for volunteers, you will be recognized as a person whose specific purpose is to help the students and staff.
