Volunteers

THANK YOU for  choosing to volunteer at Queen of Peace School.  Volunteers represent hours of personal energy, dollars not represented in the operating budget and the talents and expertise that truly advance our goals, programs and projects.  Our volunteers are visionaries, motivators and workers. We treasure each and every one of you!

Persons may not begin service to the school until:
background check information authorizes them to volunteer at our school and in other parish children’s ministries, and
they have attended an annual volunteer inservice offered by the school.

Queen of Peace School volunteers must carry a current Archdiocesan Background Check card and are asked to wear their family badge or a visitor badge while on our school campus. Please sign in and out in the Volunteer Log located at the Sign-in Center in the school lobby. This is a safety precaution which is necessary for the school staff to account for everyone who is in the building.

While at the desk, be sure to record your SHARE points on a regular basis.
ADDITIONAL VOLUNTEER INFORMATION:

Check in with the duty teacher for special classroom instructions and/or playground rules. School staff members will provide the volunteer with clear directions for all tasks. We urge the volunteer to feel comfortable to ask questions and seek clarification. When a volunteer works with children, please circulate among all the children, not just your own child.

Please check with the specific teacher before your volunteer time regarding bringing your preschool child into the classroom. Some volunteer jobs are just not compatible with younger children.

You are invited to join us in worship and attend assemblies when you are on campus.

The school relies on volunteer commitments. In instances of illness or an emergency, a telephone message to the school is greatly appreciated. If possible, volunteers are asked to call someone to replace them.

The volunteer is expected to respect and enforce the school rules. Respect for the privacy of others is essential. School volunteers must not share information regarding individual students, staff members or any school records or files.

The staff workroom is available for projects. The staff lounge and the hallway restroom are reserved only for the staff .

Any printed material going home to students or their family must be approved by the
principal.
SUPERVISION OF FIELD TRIPS
All school rules apply, unless the principal has explicitly stated otherwise.
Chaperones are to stay with their assigned group.
We want you to enjoy the outing but ask that you remember your first responsibility is the safety of the students.
A Driver Information Sheet must be on file in the school office for all drivers.
There are to be no side trips or stops during the field trip.

SHARE PROGRAM
Each two-parent family is required to contribute 30 units of volunteering per school year. Each single-parent family is required to contribute 15 units. At least HALF of your SHARE units must be earned by participating in a FUNDRAISING event. If you are unable to contribute your time or talent, you have the option of paying $10 per remaining SHARE unit. Each unit is equal to approximately 1 hour or $10.
