Parent Volunteers
Early and consistent parental involvement helps children do well academically. Parents/guardians and extended family are encouraged and welcomed to become involved in the formal education of their children by volunteering at AES.
A volunteer is any individual who assists at a school site or District office without monetary compensation. This includes parents, community members, interns and in some cases, high school or college students.
Parents/guardians who are unable to volunteer at the school site during the day due to certain circumstances may apply to be an at-home or virtual volunteer, where they can participate in the virtual environment, or may support volunteer activities from their homes. A tiered system of health and safety requirements is provided below for virtual and on-campus volunteers.
FOUR-TIERED VOLUNTEER SYSTEM
The four-tiered volunteer system was developed to assist the school community with identifying the various health and safety requirements, and duties and responsibilities for volunteers. The duties and responsibilities outlined below are only a summary and NOT intended to be all-inclusive.
