Be a Good Role Model
All faculty, staff, administrators, board members, and school volunteers serve complementary roles in promoting positive character development.
In schools, as in families, children care about our values because they know we care about them.
a. Volunteers serve as caregivers: respecting students, helping them succeed at the work of school, treating each student as having worth and dignity, and enabling students to gain a first-hand appreciation of the meaning of ethics by being treated in an ethical way.
b. Volunteers serve as role models: ethical persons who demonstrate a high level of respect and responsibility both inside and outside the classroom.
c. Volunteers serve as mentors: providing guidance through explanation, storytelling, encouragement of positive behavior, and corrective feedback, especially one-on-one correction.
Practice Open and Positive Communication
Address any concerns or issues promptly and productively. You may contact the classroom teacher or the building principal to express your concerns. Communication is the key to establishing good relationships that benefit everyone.
Volunteer forms need to be completed by anyone who wishes to help out in our schools and on field trips. Once approved, your volunteer status will be active for 4 years.
