How to fulfill your Volunteer Commitment

Volunteers must abide by the following policies:

• Maintain student confidentiality and agree not to disclose any information that you may have access to as a result of a volunteer assignment. Volunteers must not post student information or pictures on social media sites.

• Follow the policies and procedures of Jeffco Public Schools. Jeffco Public Schools has a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion of all students. All volunteers must uphold those policies and values while volunteering. Parents will not share personal or political views with students while volunteering. Teachers or administrative staff can answer any questions regarding appropriate information to share with students.

• Contact a teacher or staff member about any concerns regarding the welfare of any student.

• Be respectful of the classroom by not disrupting a teacher’s instructional time or student learning.

• Conduct yourself in a professional, kind, and respectful manner at all times. Volunteers are role models for students and must conduct themselves accordingly.

• Positively motivate students to work and help them succeed in school to the best of your ability.

• Acknowledge the teacher as the authority in the classroom. Volunteers must not confront a teacher regarding disagreements or differences of opinion in the presence of students. 

• Be on time and reliable in fulfilling volunteer commitments for the times you sign up to volunteer. Call the school at (720) 544-3667 24 hours in advance if you are unable to fulfill your commitment.

• Schedule all volunteer hours through the Sign-up Genius and log them in Praxi to get credit for your shift. 

• Sign in and out at the check-in computer. You will need to wear a visitor badge and carry a radio (if assigned) at all times while volunteering for the school so that staff and students can recognize you as a source of help. This is a matter of safety for our students. 

• Other children who may accompany you to the school must be supervised by you at all times.
