SCHOOL VOLUNTEER POLICY

"Volunteering can be an exciting, growing, enjoyable experience. It is truly gratifying to serve a cause, practice one’s ideals, work with people, solve problems, see benefits, and know one had a hand in them." –Harriet Naylor

Volunteers are a vital resource for many schools. You bring much needed assistance, experience and knowledge to our school on a daily basis and we welcome you to be a part of our school community!

Purpose of the School/Office Volunteer Program

  • Assist in classrooms, thereby allowing teachers to attend to students in need of extra help

  • Support school personnel in meeting the needs of students more effectively

  • Strengthen school/home/community relations by engaging parents and community as school volunteers

  • Provide adult role models for students through tutoring and mentoring opportunities that broaden their educational experience

  • Provide enriching intergenerational experiences for students and senior citizens that enriches students’ lives.

For the safety of our students, we are asking you to adhere to the LAUSD and Topanga Elementary School policies and procedures for becoming a school volunteer.  Information on requirements can be found here: https://www.lausd.org/volunteer

Individuals will not be permitted to volunteer until they have fulfilled the requirements.

Please call (310) 455-3711 if you have further questions about our School Volunteer Policy.
