Building Volunteers

We ask volunteers to follow these guidelines:

• Respect student privacy: Keep all student information and classroom observations confidential.
• Safety first: Always stay in sight of staff members and never be alone with a student.
• Model our values: Please be a positive role model by being professional, kind and following staff direction.
• Check-in: Remember to sign in at the front office and wear your name tag.
