Volunteering
Parent Classroom Volunteer Guide
We are so excited to welcome you into our classrooms! Parent volunteers bring energy, care, and invaluable support to our students and teachers at Canyon Creek Elementary. To ensure our campus remains safe, runs smoothly, and is fun for everyone, here is what you need to know about serving as a classroom volunteer.
Getting Started: Quick & Easy Check-In
Parent classroom helpers fall under Category 1: Single-Event/Short-Term Volunteers. Please communicate with your child’s teacher to see if they are looking for classroom volunteers. Once you have confirmed with your teacher, please follow the check-in process below:
1. Check In at the Front Office
- Every time you arrive to volunteer, stop by the office and sign the official volunteer sheet.
2. Scan Your ID
- Bring a valid driver’s license or state-issued ID. We will run a quick automated check through our visitor management system to help keep our campus secure.
3. Wear Your Badge
- Wear your site-issued volunteer ID badge so our staff and students know that you are an approved guest.
4. Complete the Volunteer Guidelines Form
- Complete a one-time volunteer guidelines form. This form reviews the rules and expectations for serving as a classroom or school volunteer.
What to Expect in the Classroom
1. Partnering with Teachers
You will always work alongside a certified teacher or staff member. You are there to support the classroom and teacher, so you will never be left alone or unsupervised with students.
2. How You’ll Help
From preparing hands-on art projects and assisting with reading groups to helping set up fun classroom events, your extra set of hands can make a huge difference!
3. A Quick Note on Volunteer Roles
To respect student privacy and district guidelines, volunteers do not grade assignments, manage student discipline, or handle confidential student information.
Thank you for giving your time and helping make Canyon Creek Elementary a wonderful place to learn!
