Volunteer Dos and Don'ts

Walgrove currently boasts over 50 registered volunteers. (If you are not yet registered to volunteer, you may register here). 

To spend time on campus during the school day (other than for a meeting, scheduled and approved class observation, short special event or longer single event with advance permission) you must become a registered volunteer. 

To volunteer outdoors on the weekends, there is no need to become a registered volunteer.

If you are a registered volunteer, please know and follow these basic Dos and Don'ts:

DO be willing to help wherever help is needed.

DO sign up ahead of time for a task

DO sign in when you arrive (or beforehand).

DO treat all children equally (for example, don't focus on your own child, and do not reprimand other people's children or adults for perceived slights against your child/ren. Instead, if there is an issue that involves your own child, please involve the teacher, and if no resolution, the principal). 

DO seek permission to be on campus (do not invite yourself to your own child's class. You must have an appointment and permission from the principal who will coordinate with the teacher ahead of time). While we LOVE it when parents are on campus, we don't want to interfere with the teacher-student dynamic or encroach upon the educational experience of others. We need to be mindful and global in our approach. 

Here is the Volunteer Commitment Form

For more information and a Q and A about volunteering at Walgrove, join our Volunteer Zoom Wednesday, October 26 at 6:30pm in Dr. K's Zoom room.

Thank you, IMMENSELY, for your support. We wouldn't be Walgrove without your INCREDIBLY generous efforts!
