Volunteers and Visitors

Volunteers

Parent and community involvement is an important connection to a positive educational environment. We invite our families to volunteer and we have a variety of opportunities for our parents to do this.When our parents are involved, all of our school community will benefit. A cooperative effort between school and home has a positive impact on your child’s academic growth. There are many volunteer opportunities available at Fred Tjardes-- from working with a small group of students to chaperoning field trips to helping with cleaning and organizing. Please speak with your child’s collaborator for more details on how to get involved.

All District 6 schools also require that all current and new volunteers register at the District 6 website, www.greeleyschools.org/getinvolved before volunteering. All volunteers will undergo a background check before they are approved to volunteer at a school site. Volunteers will be notified when they are approved to begin volunteer work.

Visitors

Parents and guardians are encouraged to visit the school building! However, since we will often be out of the building, and because our building is small and accommodating lots of visitors may be difficult, please communicate visit requests and volunteer service opportunities with your child’s collaborator. When arriving at the school, please report directly to the main office to sign in.

All District 6 schools have a new visitor and volunteer management system through Raptor Technologies. All visitors will need to present identification to sign in to visit or log in as a volunteer. Forms of identification that are accepted include a state driver’s license, a state ID, a military ID, a Mexican consulate ID and a passport. Once the ID is scanned and the identification of the visitor is verified, a visitor or volunteer badge will be printed out and must be worn at all times when inside the school. Visitors and volunteers must also sign out at the office before leaving the school site. All information collected in the visitor and volunteer management system is confidential and will not be shared.

This system allows us to keep our students safe, as well as staff and visitors in the event of an emergency as we can quickly account for all people who are in our building at any time.

School Accountability Committee

Our School Accountability Committee meets several times throughout the year in the school library. We are always looking for parents and community members who are willing to serve on this ocmmittee. Reach out to Courtney Luce, Lead Collaborator, for more details.
