Volunteering with PAC
Embedded Files
Per the Ivy Hawn Charter School of the Arts Parent Handbook:
"Volunteers are a crucial part of the success of Ivy Hawn. As a Volusia County public school, Ivy Hawn participates in the Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS) program. To volunteer at Ivy Hawn, a completed and approved volunteer application must be on file. For each child, we request 10 volunteer hours. Volunteering at Ivy Hawn is a crucial part of the school’s success and helps to create and maintain strong relationships with families to best support our students. "
"To be cleared to volunteer at Ivy Hawn, you must complete a background check through Raptor and complete the volunteer application on VCS website. This can be completed by bringing your Driver's License into the school for scanning. If you plan to volunteer for an overnight field trip, additional screening must be successfully completed at least two weeks prior to the field trip. Please be aware the approval process does take time as a full background check is performed to maximize our students' safety. You must have an approved application on file to volunteer in classrooms, on field trips and any other school related activity. "
