3. Volunteer Responsibilities

Volunteers play a vital role in our classrooms. Every task performed directly or indirectly impacts the educational process; therefore, each volunteer is responsible to the staff member with whom they are working.

Professionalism

• Realize that the relationship with staff members requires mutual respect and confidence.
• Be cooperative, flexible, willing to learn, and to share ideas.
• Be a good role model to students in behavior, attitude, speech, and dress.
• When working directly with students try to understand them as individuals, help them feel successful, and give them your full attention.
• Follow school policies and procedures.
• Respect the teacher’s time. Your volunteer time is not the time to conference with a teacher about your child.
• Respect the confidentiality of school records and the relationship of staff members with each other, students, and parents.
  

See the Confidentiality handbook section for additional guidance.

Loyalty

• Discuss concerns or problems that arise directly with staff members.
• Understand and appreciate the work of the school staff.
• Be supportive of the school and community.

See the Resolving Conflicts and Concerns handbook section for additional guidance.

Dependability

• Attend as regularly as possible.
• Be punctual.
• If you must be absent, please call 513-247-9944 ×101 as soon as possible and we will notify the staff member with whom you are working.
