Volunteer
When the community is involved the schools can do a better job providing a quality education for students. A cooperative effort between school and home can only enhance a child's educational experiences at South Lakewood Elementary (SLE).
Children love to see their parents involved in their education. One of the best and easiest ways to do this is to volunteer at the school. In addition to attending Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and School Improvement Team (SIT) meetings, parent volunteers in the classroom are also encouraged.
Throughout the year, many special programs and field trips come up which definitely need parent volunteers. Our library can always use extra help. We encourage you to visit and look forward to seeing you at SLE.
Additional Information
- Other school children should not attend with parents who are volunteering.
- Schedule student conferences outside of classroom time to respect the teacher’s need to focus on instruction.
- Young children are usually not as interested in observing classrooms as their parents and visiting can be a distraction to other students.
- All volunteers with no children attending South Lakewood Elementary will complete a Volunteer Information and Confidentiality Sheet for emergency purposes.
