Working with Students.

Students are usually delighted by honesty and authenticity.
Working with Students. ● All volunteers working with students at school should work under supervised conditions. This means other adults are in the area (such as in a classroom) or you are working under a staff member’s direction in a highly visible area nearby the classroom (such as a workstation in our hallway just outside a classroom). ● Volunteers should address students and staff in a respectful manner and expect to receive the same. If you are not, please see the teacher or office staff. ● Keep in mind that you are working with young children, any discussion should be age appropriate and avoid anything that could be perceived as offensive or discriminatory. ● Refer all discipline issues to the teacher or office staff. Volunteers are not to discipline students in any manner. Privacy & Confidentiality ● All information that you learn about students should be considered confidential.

Examples include but are not limited to home address, email address, or phone number. ● Do not capture photos, video, or other images or recordings of students unless directed to do so by the classroom teacher or office staff. ● Do not accompany students to the restroom or enter student restrooms. If assistance is needed, get a staff member. Safe Touch ● Follow all distancing guidelines and protocols for COVID-19 safety. ● If COVID-19 protocols allow these, high fives, fist bumps, and hand shakes, or a hand on the shoulder are appropriate friendly gestures to use with children if the child is comfortable with that. Volunteers should not offer or initiate other kinds of physical contact at school with students that are not in their family. ● If a young child initiates a hug with you, be sure t...
Working with Students. Custodians are not hired for the primary purpose of supervising students. Like all staff, custodians are expected to be integral members of school and campus safety initiatives. A regular part of a custodian’s job description shall not require the supervision of students assigned to him/her because the student is being disciplined. However, working with students under circumstances directed by the employer may be required from time to time and the willingness and ability to do so is a job requirement. Custodians will not be required to collect money directly from students for any purpose.
