Working Together Both experience and research tell us that a child's education succeeds best when there is good communication and a strong partnership between home and school. Your involvement in this partnership may include:
Campus Volunteer Procedures Volunteers are an important part of the campus. Volunteers provide service and support for both students and teachers. Each campus is committed to the partnership between parents and the school community. The campus principal is directly responsible for campus volunteers. The campus principal will assess the need for volunteer services and will determine the schedule and assignments for volunteers at his/her school. ● All campus volunteers must complete a criminal background check and successfully pass the background check before volunteering on any Wylie ISD campus. This must be completed each year prior to the volunteer working on the campus. ● Volunteers may be assigned in the same classroom as his/her child. However, this type of assignment must be approved by both the campus principal and the classroom teacher. ● Campus volunteer activities include the following: material preparation, assisting on field trips, and assistance for classroom and/or campus celebrations/special events. ● Volunteer activities/assignments may not include duties which compromise the privacy of student academic records, student data, or information regarding services to students. Additionally, volunteer activities which take place in the main office may not include any activity where student or parent information is compromised. The Family Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) requires procedures that protect the privacy of the students’ educational records, services to the student, and parent/family information. ● If any concerns arise regarding volunteers, the principal will make the final determination as to whether the volunteer assignment continues or whether the volunteer assignment on campus is limited. ● All volunteers must attend a training session provided by the campus and sign a confidentiality statement prior to serving as a volunteer. Parents/community members who wish to volunteer should not be confused with a request to visit a classroom for observation purposes. If a parent requests a visit to the classroom to observe his/her child, this observation must be pre-approved by both the principal and the teacher since visitors in the classroom are disruptive to many students. The classroom visit should be limited to no more than one hour and to one observation per semester per teacher.
