The Livonia PTSA Council is coordinating the Early Literacy Volunteers program to assist elementary students (grades K-4) in Livonia Public Schools with reading and other literacy skills during the summer. Elementary families and volunteers will be asked to follow Michigan Social Distancing guidelines and the LPS COVID-19 Safety and Prevention Plan (see below):

Where-
Please let us know which of the three locations you prefer to meet at:

-Country Homes Park (Plymouth & Wayne)
When-
We are currently looking for volunteers who are willing to commit to at least one hour for one day a week for the duration of the program.
From Monday, June 28 through Friday, August 20. Sessions are available Monday through Friday from 9:30 am-6:30 pm (Friday only until 4:30 pm) in 30 minute increments. Siblings will try to be scheduled at the same time with separate volunteers or back to back with the same volunteer. Parents or guardians are required to remain at the meeting location while their child is with the volunteer.
***Book bundles will be scheduled for pickup June 17-25 via a separate sign-up form closer to those dates.
Accommodations for summer vacations will be made as long as they are communicated to the organizers and volunteers accordingly. Failure to arrive at meeting times as scheduled without notification two times will result in dismissal from the program. Volunteers will be matched with students based on availability.
