• Sign in
• Pick up name tag and wear at all times on campus or with field trip

• Familiarize yourself with the rules and routines of the school and classroom.
• Please ask questions if unsure about a direction or routine.
• Respect the teaching learning process by not using your volunteer time for an informal parent-teacher conference or conversation.
• Be aware that the staff room is often a workroom for teachers and children are not allowed in this area.
• When volunteering in classrooms or on field trips make other arrangements for siblings.
• Be open and honest in your communication to the staff and administration. If you feel a problem exists, help to identify the problem and communicate your concern directly to a staff member.
• As a volunteer you are not expected to be responsible for the actions of the children or for administering discipline.
• If a student is disruptive seek assistance form the teacher or administrator.

• In the course of your volunteer work at our school, you may learn confidential information about students, parents or teachers.
• You are expected to keep this information confidential in any setting inside or outside the school, just as you would wish your own privacy rights to be respected.
• There are times when student confidences cannot be kept.
• If a student confides a desire to commit suicide to a volunteer, that confidence must be reported.
