Become a Volunteer

Teachers often have many tasks that they would love to receive help with. Volunteering is a great way to learn a little about your child's class and help out at the same time. A few things to remember are:

  • Copies – Keep papers and books organized. A jumbled stack of papers that are all mixed together will not be very profitable.
  • Grading – Your child's teacher may or may not feel comfortable with accepting help with grading. If he does, remember that all grades are confidential and must not be discussed with anyone.
  • Filing – This may seem like a mindless task, but make sure you are paying attention. No one likes to have things filed in the wrong spot.
  • Cutting things out/ getting projects ready – Teachers often like help with getting things ready for projects, art time, etc. Sometimes these things are even projects that you can take home to work on.

Teachers love help! On the plus side for you, teachers are often more willing to work with and help out parents who have made the effort to be a classroom helper.
