Very Important!!
If you plan on volunteering in the school, attending class parties, or just having lunch with your child at the school, you will need tocomplete the online Volunteer Application Form at www.duvalschools.org/volunteers . This year EVERYONE will need to complete the form. Even if you renewed your volunteer application last year, you will still need to complete the application. Duval County changed their system and the front office is unable to check if you were cleared last year.

Volunteer Log
Please remember to sign the Volunteer Log in the front office whenever you volunteer at the school.  The school keeps track of the volunteer hours and it helps the school keep their 5 Star Rating. Also, if you do a lot of volunteer work at home (scoring Sunshine Math (yes its back!!), cutting or preparing items for teachers, etc) you can keep a form at home with you and bring it in when it is needed (I would let you know).  The Volunteer Log Binder is on the left side of the front office desk. The ladies in the front office can help you.

URGENT NEED IN THE MEDIA CENTER!
Our wonderful Media Specialist, Ms. Cramer, has an urgent need for help in the media center.  There is a need for volunteers to come in and help put back books, straighten books, make sure they are in the correct location, and add bar codes stickers to new books. Ms. Cramer may also have some other needs throughout the year. If you are interested, please contact me at bsevolunteer@gmail.com
