       shelter under the supervision of certified staff members.

   4. Delayed Openings: Staff and students will report to school two (2) hours
        later than normal. Latchkey will be closed in the morning due to weather
        conditions. The school day will not be extended and the dismissal times
        will remain the same.

VISITORS

All visitors must report to the middle or elementary office to obtain a visitor's pass upon entering the school. Visitors will not be permitted to visit classrooms during school hours (8:40 - 3:40) without prior permission from the teacher and/or office.

VOLUNTEERS

We are happy to have parent volunteers: parents, grandparents, and other residents/family members.

Typical volunteer activities include:

     a) preparing learning materials for students;
     b) reading to students in class;
     c) helping children at classroom computer stations;

Volunteers can also help from their own homes by cutting, collating papers, or a number of other activities. If you wish to help out but cannot come in this may be an option for you.

If you would like to become a volunteer, contact you child's teacher or the school principal. You will need to complete an application and attend an interview with the school principal.
