Bethany Public School volunteers have been an integral part of the school district for many years. The basic tenet of Bethany schools volunteer program is to open the doors of our schools to parent and community involvement in helping our students to succeed academically.

A volunteer is any parent or person in the community who provides uncompensated service to Bethany Public School district. Volunteers may assist a teacher with tutoring students, chaperoning a field trip or school sponsored activity or assisting staff members within the school building.

A visitor is a parent or person in the community that may visit the school to speak to a classroom about a subject or present an assembly to the entire school, or assist in some other capacity. Visitors are always under the supervision of a Bethany School employee. Parents attending a special event at school or attending a field trip are considered visitors unless they are to supervise students.

All volunteers must receive orientation/training appropriate to the function they will serve while volunteering. If a volunteer is disruptive or acts inappropriately around students, the principal or the teacher will refuse the volunteer’s services and notify the superintendent or designee immediately. Volunteers will work under the direction and supervision of district and building staff. The board, superintendent, principal or designee may decline or terminate the services of a volunteer.
