Parent Volunteer and Visitor Guidelines
2013-14
We are delighted to have parents and volunteers on our campus. Parents’ are a child’s first
teachers and are vital to the success of students throughout their education. These guidelines
are to assist parents in knowing how to help not only their child but all the children at College
Park.
1. School hours are 8:13 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. If you come on campus between those times you
must sign in at the office and wear a visitor badge. This is for the safety of all students.
2. Parents are asked NOT to speak to the
teacher after the 8:13 bell rings. The teacher
is to be focused on the students to get
learning started immediately. If you have an
emergency, please go to the office and
someone will assist you.
3. Our office staff has a full day of work and
while it is difficult for them to find time to
send messages or delivery late
lunches/homework, we do understand all
families have those rare “emergency mornings.” If you need to get a message or
package to your student, just drop by the office. Students may not receive packages,
papers, calls or messages during instructional time but we do page students at recess.
4. Please make an appointment to visit or volunteer in the classroom, either by making an
individual appointment or by signing up for a specific weekly time with the classroom
teacher. This way the teacher is prepared for you and can give you their undivided
attention.
5. Many teachers are available for a quick question after school. If the classroom door is
open, feel free to step in. If your question will take longer than a minute or so, it is best
to make an appointment. Many teachers have meetings right after school and they are
required to be on time.
6. Parents on campus may use the restrooms in the gym. By state law, NO adults are
allowed in a student restroom, not even to accompany their own child.
7. On Wednesdays, parents are asked to wait until the 12:35 dismissal bell rings before
taking their students home. The playground is closed until 6pm every day.
4. 2013~2014 Ms. Chau Mandarin Immersion
Get Involved
Here are the many ways you can volunteer at College Park!
PTA Annual Events
The PTA (Parent Teacher Association) holds several events & fundraisers throughout the year that rely on parent
volunteer support. These events raise money to cover enrichment programs for all students at College Park and are a
fun way to get to know fellow College Park parents. All have various time commitments & PTA will ask for volunteers
as we begin planning. The 2012-13 dates are indicated but watch your weekly Panda Press for additional events or
date changes.
Pizza Bingo Night: Sept 28. A great evening of pizza, bingo & a workshop raffle. Students can “purchase” a spot at
workshops hosted by teachers and parents. Organized by a committee, with volunteers needed to assist with set-up,
clean-up, food/beverages, raffle tickets & table, workshop organization, and more.
Book Fair & Bake Sale: Oct 1-5 & March 11-15. Parents can help by baking items to sell, selling items during recess
& lunch, or staffing the book fair.
Art & Science Day: March 8. A wonderful day of hands-on learning for students! Parents can sign up to teach or
assist with an Art or Science workshop, or can help students get to their assigned classes.
International Day: May 18. The PTA's biggest fundraiser of the year! A family fun-filled Saturday with potluck lunch,
carnival games, silent auction, raffle, cultural costume parade and more. Organized by a committee with volunteers
needed to assist with set-up, clean-up, games, food, and other aspects.
All School Activities
These are critical positions that benefit all students. They require a year-long commitment but are the MOST fun!
Art in Action: Lead or assist in art classes every 2-3 weeks throughout the school year (curriculum & training
provided). Class time is set by homeroom teacher. Can be shared amongst several parents. One-time training
workshop in Menlo Park. Approx. 1-6 hours/month. (Contact Sharon Vause: sharonbvause@gmail.com)
Music for Minors: Lead one or more 30-minute music class weekly throughout the school year (curriculum & training
provided). Class time is set by homeroom teacher. Training is 4-5 hours/week for 3 months in Fall for new volunteers.
Approx 3-6 hours/month. (Contact Erik Chen: runforyourlives@gmail.com)
Copy Committee: This is a quick easy task of making copies for classes and the office. Anytime during school hours,
8am-3:30pm. (Contact Diana Hallock: dhallock@smfc.k12.ca.us)
Lunchtime & Playground Play Pals: 2-4 parents are needed daily to assist little ones with lunches and to encourage
safe & positive play amongst students. (Contact Diana Hallock: dhallock@smfc.k12.ca.us)
In the Classroom
Every teacher handles volunteers a bit differently and specific information for YOUR child’s class will be shared at
Back to School Night, August 14 or 16. These volunteer positions are requested by most teachers.
Room Parent: Single point person who helps the homeroom teacher communicate with all parents & coordinates
volunteers for classroom activities throughout the year. 1-5 hours/month.
Folder Preparation: Help prepare homework folders. Weekly commitment, approx. 4 hours/month.
In-class Assistance: Assist teacher in the classroom with lessons, material prep work, computer lab, science lessons,
per teacher request. Weekly commitment, approx. 4-6 hours/month.
Field Trip Chaperone: Teachers will request a specific number of parent chaperones to accompany students on field
trips throughout the year. Room parent or teacher will announce details.
College Park PTA asks parents to volunteer at the school 4 hours per month.
We thank you for supporting your child’s education!
NOTE: All volunteers must be fingerprinted for SMFC School District & attend a Volunteer Training at the school. Details
will be sent out in August.

Behavior
Management
in
Room
16
Our
class
uses
red
color
magnetic
circles
to
help
children
monitor
their
behaviors.
Each
day,
all
children
begin
with
5
red
circles.
If
your
child
is
having
difficulty
following
rules,
he/she
will
lose
one
circle
each
time
he/she
misbehaves
in
the
classroom.
If
his/her
behavior
improves,
he/she
will
get
his/her
red
circle
back.
If
a
child
shows
exceptionally
good
behavior,
he/she
will
earn
yellow
circles.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
the
children
will
receive
the
following:
Each
red
circle
=
5
cents
toy
money
5
red
circles
=
25
cents
5
red
circles
+
1
yellow
circle
=
30
cents
5
red
circles
+
2
yellow
circle
=
35
cents
Every
other
Friday,
the
children
may
use
his/her
toy
money
to
buy
Ms.
Chau
coupon,
which
they
can
exchange
for
a
privilege
or
some
goodies
from
teacher.
Each
day,
ask
your
child
how
many
circles
he
or
she
has
earned—look
for
the
coupons
or
prize
your
child
wins!
Other
than
the
individual
reward
system,
there
are
several
other
reward
systems
in
our
class:
• Table
points
for
small
group
collaboration
• Marble
jar
for
whole
class
reward
• Constructive
language
reward
Consequences
for
Unacceptable
Behaviors
Occasionally
children
have
difficulty
following
class
and
school
rules.
At
these
times,
I
will
try
to
redirect
the
child’s
behavior
through
eye
contact,
verbal
warning,
removing
the
red
circles,
or
quiet
reminders.
If
this
does
not
help
to
improve
the
child’s
behavior,
one
or
more
of
the
following
consequences
will
be
used:
1. Time-‐out
at
the
“Quiet
Chair”
This
gives
the
child
time
to
calm
down
and
get
ready
to
rejoin
the
class
activity.
If
the
behavior
occurs
outside
of
the
classroom
(hallway,
playground,
cafeteria,
etc.)
variations
of
this
consequence
will
be
used.
2. Time-‐out
in
another
teacher’s
classroom
This
will
be
used
if
the
unacceptable
behavior
is
not
improved
by
a
time-‐out
in
our
classroom.
3. Note,
phone
call
home,
or
conference
with
parent
after
school.
This
might
include
behavior
checklists
completed
daily.
4. Loss
of
privilege
or
copy
work
This
might
include
recess
time
or
special
activities.
If
there
is
no
privilege
(outside
of
the
classroom,
field
trip
etc.)
to
take
away,
assign
copy
work
may
apply.
5. Office
Referral
This
can
be
used
for
behaviors
that
disrupt
instruction
or
threaten
others
(hitting,
kicking,
biting,
etc.).
This
list
is
an
overview
of
my
discipline
policy.
Other
consequences
may
be
used
if
they
are
appropriate
for
the
behavior.
Please
refer
to
the
Student
Handbook
for
policies
regarding
suspension
and
expulsion.
Art,
Music
or
computer
teachers
may
have
different
policies
for
managing
unacceptable
behaviors.
