WHEN DO YOU NEED TO COMPLETE THE VOLUNTEER PROCESS?
The volunteer packet is required to be completed before you enter campus. This can be for special events, library access before/after school, lunch visitation and general volunteering. We highly recommend every person that thinks they will come onto campus for anything, fully complete the volunteer process at the beginning of the school year. The packet is available in the school office. The person completing the packet must turn it into the school office with a valid identification card to complete the process. We utilize the State of California’s Megan’s Law website to assist in our process.
VOLUNTEER/VISITOR PROCEDURES
Each volunteer will sign in at the front desk and will be given a volunteer badge to enter campus. Please wear your volunteer badge while on our campus so staff can identify you as a helping parent.
When leaving, parents are required to leave through the office and sign out. Please do not exit through our school gates. All school gates should only be opened and closed by school staff.
COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR STUDENT'S TEACHER
Golden staff believes in the importance of having good teacher-parent communication. Parents may email their child’s teacher or call the school. If you call during instructional hours, we will provide the teacher with a message slip. We always recommend setting up an appointment with your teacher since they have duties/meetings on campus. If you have an urgent message, please contact the school so we can assist getting a message through quickly.
LIBRARY ACCESS
LUNCH VISITORS
IF YOU FORGET AN ITEM IN THE CLASSROOM OR AT SCHOOL
If you come back before 3:15, we will contact the teacher’s classroom to see if he/she is in there to get the item. If the teacher is unavailable or it is after 3:15, you will have to get the item tomorrow. (Another staff member will not open the classroom.)
DROPPING OFF AN ITEM LATE TO SCHOOL
Because we honor instructional minutes, we will not interrupt instruction if an item is dropped off late to school. We will attempt to contact the teacher through email. It is helpful if the student remembers to come to the office on their recess or lunch break if they realize they have left something at home to see if the item is there.
