VOLUNTEER GUIDELINES
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AT OUR PTSO EVENTS AND PROGRAMS!
Parents and members of our community are encouraged and welcome to participate as volunteers to help meet the needs of our students at Sunlake Academy. In our effort to maintain a safe, effective learning environment and to ensure the success of all PTSO events, it is important that the following guidelines are followed.
BE RELIABLE
We are counting on you! If you sign up to volunteer, please follow through with your commitment. If an emergency situation arises, contact the Head Committee Chair and the PTSO directly (ptso@sunlakeacademy.org) ASAP so that PTSO can make other arrangements.
BE PROMPT
Volunteers should arrive early to be ready to start your commitment on time and stay for the entire time slot.
CODE OF CONDUCT
All volunteers must be scheduled with teachers or PTSO. Drop ins will not be permitted or tolerated by SAMS.
CHECK IN
Volunteers and visitors must check in at the school's front office and wear a visitor’s tag. When leaving, please remember to sign out.
BE & DRESS APPROPRIATE
Volunteers will maintain appropriate, civil demeanor and language while volunteering. Profanity and other language or actions deemed unprofessional by the school principal may result in the loss of volunteer privileges. Volunteers will dress appropriately when volunteering in or for the school. Make sure all undergarments are covered and no midriffs showing.
NO DISTRACTIONS
While volunteering, please do not bring children with you or use your cell phone. Refrain from any side conversations or actions that would be distracting to students, teachers or other visitors..
BE CONFIDENTIAL
Volunteers are to remain confidential regarding viewing student learning, observing special needs, etc.
KNOW YOUR BOUNDARIES
Students are to respect volunteers and the teacher is responsible for any discipline issues.
ASK QUESTIONS
Never assume. If you are unclear of your duties or responsibilities, please ask your Head Committee Chair or our PTSO directly (ptso@sunlakeacademy.org).
RESPECT THE STAFF
Volunteers should always follow teacher/staff members directions. Teachers and staff have priority to use copy machines, equipment, etc.
The SAMS PTSO thanks you for volunteering!
