Volunteer Procedures for Parkview Elementary

We welcome volunteers at Parkview Elementary School, and in an effort to maintain a structured school climate that is conducive to learning, we have developed a fair and responsible set of expectations.

· Volunteers who plan to help out on a regular basis will need to be fingerprinted for a background check at central office. Central office personnel will be happy to inform them of the requirements as needed.

· Volunteers will sign-in at the front office each day they are volunteering.

· Volunteers will wear a visitor’s tag while they are on our school grounds.

· Volunteers may volunteer a maximum of 10 hours per week or 2 hours per day.

· Volunteers will always be in the presence of staff members, and not be left in charge of a group of students without a school staff member present.

· Volunteers will help out at the school on their own, without bringing other family members with them.

· Volunteers will maintain student confidentiality.

· Volunteers will follow the staff dress code and appearance policy while they are volunteering on campus or with our students on a field trip:

o Staff Dress Code and Appearance Policy- All teachers and staff are expected to dress in a manner that exhibits professionalism. While casual clothing and shoes are practical and thereby acceptable, at no time are teachers and staff (including substitutes) to wear sweats, pajamas, shorts, spaghetti straps, low-cut blouses/shirts, baggy pants, or any other clothing that could potentially be deemed inappropriate. Jeans are acceptable as long as they are neat and clean, without rips or holes, and as long as they are accompanied by a sweater, blouse, or shirt. Fridays can be reserved for more casual dress; school spirit attire, school T-shirt/sweatshirt.

Welcome and thank you for volunteering on our campus!
