Volunteering
Parent participation is vital to the life of the school. Parent (and Grandparent) volunteers are recruited to assist in the classroom, work in the office, drive on field trips, attend off campus events, and develop social activities. This participation brings the whole family to the school experience and enriches the social networking that supports the REACH community and the community at large. Together we can make the world a better place!
We ask that for each child attending REACH that a family volunteer five hours a month. The volunteer work not only enriches the school environment but the services provided directly support learning activities and helps keep class size at a reasonable level. Working parents can volunteer in many other ways that can fit a busy schedule. The Volunteer Sign up Bulletin Board is directly ahead when you walk into the REACH Office. The Volunteer Coordinator is Rachelle Steele.
