Volunteers & Visitors

(From the Student Parent Handbook)

For everyone’s safety, all visitors—including parents and volunteers—must check in at the front office before being permitted onto the school grounds. A visitor is anyone who is not a student, school faculty, or staff member entering the campus for school business.

Children from other schools are not allowed to visit with our students during school hours. We encourage parents, family members, and Community members age 18+ to visit and volunteer in our schools.

All volunteers and visitors must sign-in and out at the front desk and wear an identifying name tag.

Individuals younger than 18 are not permitted in classrooms during instructional hours. (Exceptions: Workforce Investment Act trainees, or any parent of an enrolled SRS student are permitted to volunteer in the classroom, even though they may be younger than 18.)

Volunteers and visitors are not permitted to be left alone with any student under any circumstances. All volunteers and visitors will follow SRS policy on volunteers and visitors in the classroom. Any volunteer or visitor who fails to abide by the directions of the administrator in charge and/or who becomes disruptive in any way will be asked to leave the campus. Failure to abide by this or any other lawful directive of the administrator may result in contact with local law enforcement.

Volunteer Background Checks
A person who volunteers more than two times in a school year is required to complete a background check. Volunteers at the ECEC are also required to obtain a Tuberculosis (TB) test. Fingerprinting and background checks will be conducted by SRS Human Resources; please call in advance to make your appointment: 480-362-2585.

Classroom Access

•  ECEC: Parents of enrolled children are entitled to have unlimited access to their student during ECEC’s operating hours. Parents must sign in at the front desk and obtain a visitor’s pass to enter their child’s classroom and must abide by all classroom rules.
  
  
• SRES & ALA: Guests may not visit classrooms, teachers, or students unless the visit has been prearranged and approved through the school’s front office. If a parent desires a meeting with their student’s teacher or wishes to volunteer at the school, the parent must contact the front office.
