Crisis plans
Crisis plans are in place for all locations. Plans include steps to take in case of a medical emergency, fire, tornado, lockdown, building evacuation, power outage, bomb threat, shooting, weapons, assault, or lost student. Be certain to follow staff instructions.
Cultural awareness
Our communities are culturally diverse. It is important that we work with one another positively and be aware of cultural differences.
Discipline
You may not discipline students beyond maintaining order in your group or activity. Please report any problems with student behavior to the supervising staff. School staff are always responsible for discipline.
Job duties
Work only within the parameters of your specific assignment. If you have questions about what is expected, consult a staff member. To maintain building security and minimize distractions to other classrooms, please do not wander through the building. Once you have finished your assigned volunteer tasks for the day, please return to the office to sign out of your volunteer assignment. You must sign in as a visitor if you plan to stay on site.
Volunteer logs
Keeping accurate records is an important part of the volunteer program. Accurate records allow us to assist volunteers who might request records for use on job applications; they allow us to track how, when, and where volunteers are utilized in the district; and they serve in future program planning. Accurate records enable us to recognize the contributions of all volunteers. Volunteer services performed off-site will use an alternative method of capturing volunteer hours.
Staff responsibilities
Volunteers are an important part of the educational team. The suggestions and opinions of volunteers are always welcome. It is the staff, however, that are held responsible by law for the decisions that are made regarding the instruction of students and school management. For this reason, volunteers always work under the supervision of the staff. The staff are responsible for everything that goes on in the building- including student instruction, safety and discipline.
