In order to fulfill our vision for education, many adults are needed to help in classrooms, serve as afterschool volunteers in our afterschool programs, work with leadership, etc. At Renaissance Academy, parent (or other family adult)participation is essential. Parents sign and agree to the terms outlined in the Parent Participation Agreement, which brings them to the classroom at least every other week, asks that they serve on a school committee (most with the Family Engagement Committee), and chaperone at least one field trip per child per year. Individual circumstances may change how this agreement is fulfilled. In fulfilling volunteer requests, parents bolster the education process and make experiential learning possible.
Many of the opportunities for involvement will be communicated to parents through the school web site, postings at school and/or school newsletters. Any parents wishing to volunteer in a role that involves significant, unsupervised contact with students will be required to pass a background check. Parents will be encouraged to volunteer in a variety of ways that can include, but are not limited to:
- Classroom Helper
- Tutor/Mentor
- Grading Papers
- Field Trips
- School Parties
- Room Parents
- Photocopying
- Lunch Coordinator or Lunch Room Bulletin Board
- Play Ground
- Assemblies
- Library
- Special Productions
- Technology Committees
- Office Help
- Fundraising
- Parent Organization
- Safety Patrol
- Extra-Curricular Activities
For the safety of our children, parents and others wishing to volunteer must complete a background check. The background check form is available at the front office. A $20 fee is required to process the background check. Please turn in completed forms with payment to the front office prior to the first day of school. Background checks will be valid for 3 years from the date approved.
