What Are Volunteers?
Volunteers are people who are willing to donate their time and energies to assist principals, teachers, and other school personnel in implementing various phases of school programs. Volunteers may be recruited from many different populations including parents, business people, community members, retired senior citizens, high school, Montgomery College, and college and university students.
Volunteer Responsibilities:
- Sign in and out when reporting to or leaving the school
- Notify the school coordinator or the teacher when an illness or other circumstances prevents the volunteer from reporting to the school
- Respect confidentiality of school matters
- Carry out only those duties assigned that have been approved by the principal
