Don Benito values its volunteers. Whether it be teaching an art or science lesson or helping out in your child’s classroom, there are some important steps for you to take in order to volunteer at Don Benito. PUSD mandates that these steps be taken to ensure the safety of all Don Benito students. Don Benito PTA is here to make the process easy to understand.
There are so many events, activities and necessary functions that occur at Don Benito throughout the school year. All of them need people to plan, coordinate and staff them. Some of the activities require small but long term commitments. Others are one day, single shift opportunities. There are different ways to contribute that will best meet the needs of every family. Examples include, but are not limited to:
- Being at school and donating your time
- Virtual Volunteering (contributing your time and talents outside school hours)
- Chairing or Co-Chairing committees
- Donating food or drinks to classroom and PTA events throughout the year
- Donating resources to the class, library or school
- Providing your expertise in a certain area
- Providing financial contributions
- Many others—your ideas are welcome and encouraged!
We find that if everyone is able to do a little, no one has to do a lot!
All volunteers will need to complete the following:
- Volunteer Application
- Statement of Confidentiality & Child Abuse Reporting Form
- Sign receipt of acknowledgement of the Volunteer Handbook pledge (page 19)
Completed forms can be returned in person to Nancy Estrella or via email at [email protected].
LOG YOUR HOURS!
We ask that all volunteers LOG THE NUMBER OF HOURS WORKED at/for the school after each activity. Documented hours help the school evaluate programs and may even help with future funding. You can fill out the volunteer log in the Main Office or you can log them online.
Thank you for taking the time to meet these requirements. We value your help in enriching our children’s experience at Don Benito through your personal dedication and volunteerism.
