Volunteers are the heart of St. Ignatius School. We are grateful for the talent and energy that parents and community members share within the school, and we see the positive effect this has on our students.
Volunteers working in the school are an extension of the school staff, and like staff members, must uphold the values of St. Ignatius School at all times. We rely on you to support our students' spiritual, moral, and academic development by being a role model in everything you do. We expect volunteers to resolve any disagreements peacefully, to maintain confidentiality of our students and their needs, and to not show favoritism in their interactions with students. If difficulties arise that cannot be resolved or if the volunteer is not being a positive role model, the school can limit or remove the person's ability to work within the school and/or its programs.
All individuals who volunteer in the school must complete the diocesan mandated background check, C.A.S.E. Training, and SB 155 sexual misconduct verification.
All volunteers are expected to dress appropriately. Clothing should be modest and neat.
The main responsibility of a volunteer is to assist the administration or teachers. For this reason, younger siblings are not allowed to accompany parent volunteers to school for volunteer meetings, to assist with class parties, or to decorate bulletin boards.
