Volunteers and School Visitors

Volunteers

There are many activities throughout the year where volunteers are a necessity. Parents and community members are encouraged to volunteer in the classroom, library and at school events. Contact your child’s teacher to see how you can assist. If you have a special interest or area of expertise that you would like to share with our students, contact the school office. All volunteers who participate at school on a regular basis must:

1. Fill out a volunteer form.

2. Agree to and sign the TUSD Volunteer Code of Conduct Agreement

3. Show photo id and be screened through the RAPTOR Visitor Management System

4. Have certification of a recent negativeTB skin test on file in the school office.

Adults are not allowed to use student restrooms. Please use the facilities in the Volunteer Room upstairs in the main building.

Parents who work or cannot be at school may be able to help out with at-home projects. For more information contact the PTA President or Volunteer Coordinator (fernptavolunteer@gmail.com).
