Volunteer Guidelines

Platte River Academy would not exist without active parent participation.  Abundant research indicates there is a direct correlation between family engagement and students' success in school.   The opportunities for your involvement in the school are abundant as well as diverse.  Sharing your time at the school or completing projects at home benefits the school and your children directly.

• Parents are asked to input their volunteer hours by clicking on the button to the right or below depending on your browser.  We use this information to celebrate the total number of volunteer hours given and to acknowledge those individuals and families who help us accomplish things we would not be able to otherwise do.

• In order to give your full attention to your volunteer duties, we ask that you not bring small children while you volunteer. Consider finding a sitter or another PRA parent with which to trade babysitting time. Volunteer hours may be earned by babysitting children for another PRA parent while they volunteer at school.

• Teachers often have take-home projects for volunteers who can't make it into the building.

• Volunteers are asked to dress appropriately for a school setting.
