- Volunteer tasks for the school year will begin no sooner than our first field trip in mid-October.
- All volunteer time slots must be pre-arranged with me prior to volunteering.
- All volunteers must be 100% respectful to the students in my class (and their family members) at all times.
- Each volunteer must have cleared and confirmed background check approval through Battle Ground School District. For more information on background checks, please visit the district site.
Volunteer Binder & Basket:
A list of volunteer tasks can be found in the volunteer binder behind my desk. There is a list of duties that need to be fulfilled, and these duties are focused on specific classroom needs (including a due date). All materials needed to complete the tasks will be in the volunteer basket. This system allows volunteers to enter the room without interrupting lessons and work time. Please check the volunteer notebook and volunteer basket for specific tasks that need to be taken care of the day you volunteer.
Classroom Helpers:
Helping in the classroom can take the form of organizing weekly reading packets, collecting field trip forms, chaperoning a field trip, reading with a small group of students, or playing reading and/or math games.
