If you want to make a strong impact on your child(ren)’s school experience, consider signing up now to help our Curley teachers in their classrooms!  Our awesome teachers have great goals for the 2014-2015 school year, which are supported by us offering helping hands with the students.

There are one-time projects, weekly or monthly student help, and countless other opportunities to support teachers directly. Our staff is eager to welcome parents’ help and many have already posted specific needs HERE. More opportunities will be added as the school year continues. This year we’d love to see a boost in cross-pollinating parents of younger students, with our oldest grades to continue building an even stronger Curley K-8 community.

What’s required to volunteer in the classroom? The only requirement is that you fill out a CORI form and submit it with a copy of your photo ID, and make arrangements with the teacher. Once the Curley secretaries Ms. Powers (Lower School) and Ms. Vazquez (Upper School) receive your paperwork, they submit it to the state and then inform you of your clearance, and you’ll be ready to go. This process takes approximately 2-3 weeks, so the sooner you submit, the sooner you can get started.

What’s recommended for classroom volunteers? If you are new or feeling new to volunteering, or not sure exactly how your schedule or skills could match up with teachers’ needs, fill out a Classroom Volunteer Application. (This is also how you’ll be kept in the loop with other classroom volunteers.) One of our Classroom Volunteer Liaisons (Val Snekvik or Kristin Shapiro) will quickly follow up with you to orient and help connect you in a way that works for you. We will also run a classroom volunteer training this fall.
