Opportunities with Lincoln K-8 PPT
Lincoln LOVES volunteers!
Your gift of time helps enable or enrich educational programs, makes it easier for our educators and staff to try innovative or unique things in the classroom, and builds a strong sense of community at our school.
From within the classrooms to out on the playground, there are many ways you can help make our school the BEST school in the Universe!
All volunteers at schools within RPS must be registered with the district Raptor system in order to enter the school and interact with the children and a safety measure. When you arrive at the school you will provide identification to our front office and you will receive a temporary visitor badge to be worn on your shirt.
Use this link to get registered in the Volunteers in Education (ViE) program so that you are ready to go when the right opportunity presents itself! https://apps.raptortech.com/Apply/NTA1OmVuLVVT
To get placed on the communication list for a committee, please email the Lincoln K-8 PPT.
