This year classroom volunteering will appear primarily in the form of our weekly mystery reader and being a sight word helper. For mystery reader, families will start off being able to sign up for one time slot and after a few weeks if there are still other spots I will reach out allow families to sign up for a second slot. Throughout the year there will be other sporadic opportunies to volunteer, if you are interested please fill out the volunteer form here. Please do not come to the classroom to volunteer without contacting me beforehand (I want to make sure I have work for you to do).
Please note the following requirements for classroom volunteers:
Volunteers are expected to be reliable and on time. Please let me know if you cannot make your normal volunteer time.
Volunteers are expected to maintain confidentiality about student behavior in the classroom.
Volunteers should not become distracting. Please obtain childcare for younger siblings and do your best to allow your kindergartener to work independently in the classroom. If your presence becomes too distracting to your student or other students, you may be asked to complete prep work in an alternate location.
Chaperones will be randomly selected for each field trip. You MUST be fingerprinted through Natomas Charter School in order to attend a field trip (see Courtney, Melissa, or Maribel at the front desk for more information). Please note that field trip chaperones are expected to participate and avoid distractions during field trips (e.g., follow teacher instructions, actively watch students, avoid cell phone use, etc.). Chaperones who do not meet these criteria will not be asked to join us on any future field trips.
