Volunteer Toolkit

Archer Hours

We know that children enjoy greater success in school when the adults they admire most take an interest in their education. Our students’ parents are encouraged to commit to 20 volunteer hours each year for the school. These hours foster closer relationships and ensure a more secure learning environment.

This toolkit provides our volunteers with all the information needed to be successful. If you need any further information, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator, Mrs. Wells, or call the main office.

How to Get Started Volunteering in the New School Year

Applications remain active for the current school year. A volunteer must reapply each school year. Please allow up to 3 weeks for processing of your application.
