Volunteer JobID: 207 + Position Type: Volunteers + Date Posted: 8/3/2017 +    If you have time to read, share a talent or help with activities, the Brockport Central School District welcomes and encourages you to become a school volunteer. The District offers a Volunteer Program for interested community members to serve in classrooms and to assist with various projects and activities before, during and after school hours. Volunteers are needed on a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or even occasional basis, especially in kindergarten classrooms. In addition, the Brockport PTSA has volunteer opportunities at all schools, for example, assisting with bus duty and in the lunchroom at the Ginther School at the beginning of the school year. Checkwww.signupgenius.com and use the “Find a Sign-Up” feature (using the PTSA emailBrockportPTSA@gmail.com) to see where help is needed. Active sign-ups and PTSA news are also posted on the PTSA Facebook page. It is not necessary to be a PTSA or Facebook member to access either of these resources. The Volunteer Program is coordinated by the Human Resources Office, in conjunction with building administrators. Volunteer placements continue throughout the school year and are based on teacher and building needs as well as on volunteer service requests. First-time volunteers are required to submit an on-line Volunteer Application to the Human Resources Office to be approved by the Board of Education prior to serving in the District. As this process may take several weeks, applications should be submitted well before the start date of a planned volunteer service. Previously approved volunteers who completed a paper application from the 2014-2015 through the 2017-2018 school years still need to apply on-line, but do not require additional Board approval. Once you have an approved on-line application to volunteer you do not need to apply in subsequent years, but you can log back into your application and make any changes to personal information, building or teacher preferences or desired volunteer opportunities. The District reserves the right to decline a volunteer’s approval if there are concerns of an applicant’s suitability to serve in a school setting. Current volunteers are obligated to provide the Human Resources Office with any information which might affect their continued status as approved volunteers. Volunteer applicants who wish to assist with PTSA activities may check thePTSA Releaseoption within the Volunteer Application. Contact information for approved volunteers is made available to school building office personnel and the PTSA Executive Board.
