Parent Volunteer Training
Do you know the difference between a "visitor" to the school and a "volunteer"? Do you know if you need to be a volunteer in order to chaperone a field trip?
If you aren't certain of the correct answer to these questions and have always wanted to volunteer at school then please come and join us for a brief Parent Volunteer training.
