Supervision
Alhambra District volunteers work under the direct supervision of the professional staff at each school and only with those teachers who have requested the services of the volunteer. It is the responsibility of the school principal, supervising teacher, or the Volunteer Coordinator to dismiss any volunteer whose actions are not in the best interest of the school or our students.
Discipline
Students rarely have behavior problems while working with volunteers. However, it is important for you to know that our schools have detailed discipline plans and that the responsibility for discipline rests with the teacher. Volunteers may not discipline students. Please make the teacher aware of any discipline problem that might arise when you are working with a student.
Confidentiality
As a volunteer, you will learn a great deal about our programs and students. Volunteers enjoy sharing their experiences with friends and family. It is important, however, that you do not discuss the progress, test grades, behavior, or problems of individual students. The school staff must be able to depend on you to keep this information confidential. It is also important that you not probe into a student’s family life or private matters.
Dismissal of Students
Volunteers may never dismiss a student from school. Students who need to leave school early must have permission from the school office. Under no circumstances may a volunteer take a student off campus. Volunteers may not offer to drive students home.
Restrooms
Staff restrooms are available for volunteers. We ask that volunteers not use student restrooms.
Contacting Students
As a school volunteer, you will meet many delightful students. We know that you will enjoy working with them. However, volunteers may not telephone students or visit them at their homes. Volunteers may not make arrangements to meet students off campus, nor may students be invited to a volunteer’s home. (If you are interested in working with children outside of school hours, we invite you to contact the local Big Brothers, Big Sisters, or Foster Grandparents organizations).
