United Way

To best meet the needs of our students and teachers, a 3 tiered volunteer level system has been implemented. Please review the difference between the levels and select the option that best fits the volunteer opportunities you are seeking to participate in.

Level 1 Volunteers

A Level 1 volunteer position involves direct student contact under limited supervision. Examples include: PYP Exhibition volunteers, Head-to-Head volunteers, Reading help, field trip chaperones, club supervisors, and volunteers within the library, classroom, lunchroom, playground, or at special events.

Level 2 Volunteers

Level 2 volunteers have the same clearance as a Level 1 volunteer, but are qualified to drive students to activities off school grounds such as athletic and club events.

Level 3 Vounteers

Level 3 volunteer positions involve unsupervised, direct contact with students in various settings such as overnight school trips or volunteer athletic coaches.
