On behalf of San Elijo Elementary School, the staff would like to thank you for volunteering! To ensure the safety of all students, staff, and visitors, volunteers must agree to the guidelines. It is our sincere desire to make each parent a part of our school, feel welcome on campus and included in the success of all students.

• Follow and support the policies and rules of the school.

• All volunteers are required to sign in at the front office with a valid photo id.

• Respect and maintain the confidentiality of matters that occur within the school.

• Please do not discuss a student with others. Confidentiality is of the utmost importance. If you have a concern about any issue, contact the teacher/principal. 

• Volunteers should not discipline students, all behavior concerns should be communicated to the person in charge (supervisor, teacher, administration).

• Expect children to treat you with respect. While in school, ask children to refer to you as Mr., Mrs., or Miss. This will help eliminate confusion for most children.

• Attend strictly to the duties for which you have volunteered and the area to which you are assigned. Please do not use this time to monitor your child’s class or inquire about his/her progress.

• Volunteers are only permitted to work with children within the teacher’s immediate supervision.

• Your younger children cannot accompany you.

• If you are unable to attend a scheduled day, please contact the teacher or designated contact for your classroom as soon as possible. 

• Please switch your cell phone to vibrate while working in the classrooms. If you need to make a call, please step out of the classroom. 

• Do not take pictures of students on campus and refrain from posting anything on social media. 

• Please do not join your child at the lunch tables. If you would like to have lunch with your child on a day you volunteer, you must check them out and eat off campus. 

• Children are not permitted in the staff workroom at any time.
