Volunteer Log

In an effort to track volunteer hours more accurately we have created an additional method to log volunteer hours.  All volunteer hours between 8:30 am and 3:30 pm that are done at school should still be logged through the computer in the school office.  ANYTIME YOU ARE VOLUNTEERING AT SCHOOL YOU MUST CHECK-IN USING THE COMPUTER IN THE OFFICE.  However, volunteer opportunities not done at school or after school hours, such as fall walk, at home opportunities, fundraising meetings, grant writing, etc. should be logged using the link below.  If you attend a field trip and you will return after the office is closed you will still need to sign into the computer in the office in the morning when you arrive at school, However you will need to use the link to log your hours once you return since you will be unable to access the computer at school to sign out.  If you have any questions about logging your volunteer hours please contact Christina Dowe at This email address is being protected from spambots.
