Volunteer Guidelines
-
When you arrive at PELC to volunteer, please stop at the MAIN OFFICE first, sign in, and wear a "volunteer" badge for the duration of your visit. Please also sign out and turn in your badge at the end of your visit.
-
As an active member of our academic team, you will be held to the same level of confidentiality as PSD employees. Please do not photograph students without teacher approval, do not post pictures on social media sites, and do not access confidential student information. A violation of any of these guidelines will result in an immediate revocation of your ability to volunteer.
-
Please follow our guidelines on "appropriate touch." Hug from the side, for example, or offer a student a "high-five," a "thumbs up," or a pat on the shoulder. Although we often feel inclined to hug the little ones, it is for your own protection that we have this guideline in place.
