TIPS TO BEING A GOOD VOLUNTEER

1. Patience and respect for each other is important.

2. Every task that promotes learning is worth doing well.

3. Flexibility is encouraged.

4. If you have questions regarding a task you are asked to perform ask! Try to understand thoroughly what is expected of you.

5. Resolve to seek new information and to develop new skills that will enable you to be of greater assistance each school year. The pupils aren't the only people in school who are learning!

6. Confidentiality must be observed in all matters. Be professionally discreet, never publicly discuss students, parents or educators.

7. Children love praise for the least bit of good accomplished. Give a smile, or kind word.

8. Take your commitment seriously. People are counting on your presence at an appointed time. If you can't possibly make it, phone to notify the teacher.

9. In all schools, volunteers will be asked to register in the school office on arrival, and name tags will be worn.

10. Enjoy yourself!
