Volunteer Info

There are many opportunities for parental involvement at St. Anne’s. The St. Anne’s Parents’ Association (SAPA) has established committees and forums for volunteers in classrooms and around the school. There are times that are especially appropriate for parents to join their child’s class during school. Please make arrangements with your child’s teacher before your visit. Parents are always welcome at Chapel Services and will be notified of special services they are encouraged to attend. Parents are also always welcome to join their children for lunch, although they should refrain from bringing fast food. Sports games are also a great time for parents to see their children and others in competition at school. Please see the section on Volunteers for more information about school-day visits.

Volunteers must follow and enforce all school rules and may turn to a Division Head or Classroom Teacher for guidance. Volunteers should make other arrangements for non-school age children while working at the school or chaperoning a field trip. All family members and volunteers must avoid discussing student behavior in a negative way outside of school. If a volunteer sees or hears something in question, he or she must address the appropriate teacher or administrator immediately with any concern. Each student’s privacy must be valued and respected by volunteers.

While volunteers do not have to adhere to the student dress code, we would appreciate it if our volunteers would dress appropriately for the activity in which they are participating. For instance, a classroom volunteer should wear similar clothing to what a teacher might wear, whereas a person gardening could wear outdoor wear. For safety reasons, if you are volunteering in the dining hall, closed shoes should be worn in the kitchen and all health codes should be followed.
