“BE YOUR KID’S BIGGEST FAN” AT PARR
VOLUNTEER PACKET 2015 – 2016
The Texas PTA theme “Back the Future” centers on our belief that an investment in the education of Texas children is an investment in our communities’ future. Successful students are everyone’s business, and successful schools build successful communities. Our future leaders, innovators, citizens and soldiers are our children, and our children are given their best chance to succeed when we all work together. It will take all of us, and that includes you, to back the future!!!
Following are many opportunities in which you can become involved. Please review this volunteer packet and select those areas in which you can help. Please feel free to contact me, Stefanie O’Neal, or the Committee Chairs listed, for additional information. Once you have completed this packet, simply send it back to school in your child's backpack to be turned in to his/her teacher. If you have more than one child at Parr, please only complete one volunteer packet.
Thank you for your support!

GUIDELINES FOR VOLUNTEERS
The regular school business is the education of the children, and this has priority over any PTA planned activities.
Volunteers are allowed in the school with the permission and approval of the principal and must wait to be buzzed in by the front office.
Volunteers should report only to their assigned volunteer area and not disrupt the daily activities of the teachers and students.
Volunteer hours are from 8:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Volunteers will not expect privileges or rights that are not due any other parent or taxpayer in the district.
Volunteers will sign in and out at the school office as is required of all persons entering a public school building, along with wearing an appropriate name badge.
PTA volunteers will not speak to school district personnel as representing the PTA, unless authorized to do so by the executive board or the general assembly of the membership.
Volunteers will dress in a manner appropriate to the school environment and activity.
If a volunteer cannot keep a commitment, then he/she is to inform the committee chairman and the teacher or staff member involved.
Matters of confidential nature overheard at school should not be repeated.
Thanks for joining the
Parr Team of Volunteers!
Together, we are bound to be successful!
