- Go directly to the place of volunteering, and then return to the office following the activity.
- Follow the teachers' requests. The teacher is focusing on academics and knows what is needed.
- If you are taking your child with you at the end of your volunteering session, sign our your child in the front office and your child will be sent from the classroom. Teachers cannot release a child to you even if you have been working in the classroom.
- If chaperoning a field trip, be sure to follow the online application process to become a Volunteer Level 2.
- Keep information you overhear/see confidential as you want others to do with information about your child.
Reading Expectations at Paris
We love to read at Paris Elementary! We want to encourage all of our students to read at home for at least twenty (20) minutes every day! Your child can read independently or with you. Books are better when you cuddle up and read with someone else! Consider reading aloud to your child and talking about the book together. Enjoying a good book with your child is one of the best ways to nurture a love of reading! Reading proficiency is the number one indicator of school performance.
