Brush up on volunteer expectations.
All American Academy parent volunteers must abide by the rules and the authority of the school leadership and its representatives, including teachers, instructional assistants and carpool attendants.
 
Each volunteer must read the Visitor and Volunteer Policy that is listed on the BOD Policies page as well as the Expectations List. This info is important and calls out a few important aspects of the policy, so please read through carefully. You can access those expectations HERE.
NEW Tracking Procedure:
 
We are implementing a new volunteer tracking procedure for the 24-25 school year. We found the system we used last year (Raptor) to be lacking in what we needed as a school.
 
Please keep track of your volunteer time and submit it HERE.
 
  • Volunteers may only log hours for actual time spent, NOT in exchange for dollar value of items purchased. We can't award credit for volunteer time based on monetary donations. But time spent acquiring donated items or gift cards absolutely counts. For example, time to drive to the store to purchase items for a school event counts; the amount of money spent at the store doesn't count.

  • Logged volunteer hours must be in service to American Academy (in the classroom, PTO, recess, carpool, library, etc.), not an outside organization, even if it’s a really good one, even if it meets at the school or is made up entirely of American Academy students. For example, volunteering to help TGA Tennis teach American Academy students in the gym doesn’t count; volunteering to run a Girl or Boy Scout troop at the school doesn't count.
