Recess Help!

 Ensure the safety of our children!
It's a perfect way to see your kids in action and see what's going on at school. It is also an important way to ensure the safety of our students.  As you know, with the recess area being so large it's advantageous to have as many eyes as we can to help monitor the safety of our students.

 In order to easily accomplish this goal, each month will be designated to an entire grade level however, parents from any grade level can volunteer at any time, in any month.  We encourage you to sign up for as many dates as you can.  * Please note that a Volunteer Form must be filled out and processed prior to your scheduled date.  Volunteer Forms are available at the Front Office.  Once that is on file you are ready to go.

You will receive an email a couple weeks ahead of time letting you know that it is time to sign up. Then you’ll go to SignUp Genius to pick the day you want (the shift is from 11:30 a.m.- 12:45 p.m.).  There are 3 slots available each day, so you can signup with a friend.  (If you have more than one student in a grade then you would pick two slots that month) You also have the convenient option to swap dates with someone else or delete/or reschedule your sign up date. SignUp Genius will send a reminder email 2-3 days prior to your scheduled dates. When you pick a volunteer spot, this will be a time for you to help supervise all of the students during lunch recess. If you want to come spend time with your own student you are encouraged to come on an additional day for some special one-on-one time. 
On your chosen day, arrive at the front office at 11:30 a.m. You will be assigned a spot for your shift at that time. It is important that you are able to stay for the entire shift, which is from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.
