Handbook - Visitors and Volunteers

Visitors 

All visitors to school property are required to report to the Building Principal’s office and receive permission to remain on school property. All visitors must sign a visitor’s log, show identification, and wear a visitor’s badge. When leaving the school, visitors must return their badge. On those occasions when large groups of parents/guardians, friends, and/or community members are invited onto school property or when community members are attending Board meetings, visitors are not required to sign in but must follow school officials’ instructions. Persons on school property without permission will be directed to leave and may be subject to criminal prosecution. Except as provided in the next paragraph, any person wishing to confer with a staff member should contact that staff member to make an appointment. Conferences with teachers are held, to the extent possible, outside school hours or during the teacher’s conference/preparation period.

Volunteers

We encourage the use of volunteers to increase students' educational attainment, provide enrichment experiences for students, increase effective utilization of staff time and skills, give more individual attention to students, and promote greater community involvement.  Volunteers must be approved by the school administration or designee before volunteering.   Individuals who are volunteering under the supervision of Harlem School District staff will be required to check in at the office and provide identification.  Individuals who are supervising students out of sight of Harlem School District staff will be required to also complete the Resource Person and Volunteer Information Form and Waiver of Liability.
