APV – FFL Volunteers and Visitors Procedures
Being involved in your child’s education can take on different forms. You can choose to volunteer or visit their school. As a volunteer, you work within the school programs and have the opportunity to interact with teachers and students, either directly or indirectly.
On the other hand, as a visitor, you can observe your child’s activities without interfering with instructional activities. However, as a visitor, you are not permitted to interact with other students.
All volunteers must be approved by the School Counselor, pass a background check, and attend orientation. The school will accept applications from August to September 30th.
- Sign in and out every time you are on campus volunteering. If you are doing volunteer work at home, there is also a sign-in sheet to capture your hours.
