PTO Dolphin Volunteer Program

What is the goal?

To build a collaborative learning environment through active parent involvement.  

How does it work?

Check-in as a Volunteer: Log-in as a VOLUNTEER via the office computer and sign the “Volunteer Log” in your student’s classroom or media center. Submit a Volunteer Time Log to the teacher for off-site work.

Volunteer: Give your time by helping with school-wide events, PTO programs, or classroom activities (see list below or the volunteer online blog). Volunteer hours are tracked from September 1^st to March 30^th. 

Win a Class Party: The class with the most volunteer hours by Nov. 30th will win a gift card for the Holiday Party. The class with the most volunteer hours by March 30^th will win a gift card for the End-of-Year Party. 

Receive a Special Honor at the Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast in April:

Volunteer of the Year Awards will be given to volunteers with the most hours per grade-level (PreK/K, 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th). NFES parents, grandparents, guardians, and adult siblings are eligible for an award.*

Community Partner Volunteer of the Year Award will be given to the community partner with the most hours. Community partners include local residents, NFES faculty/staff family members, representatives from local businesses and religious organizations.

Thank you!

Throughout this year we have accomplished our mission by supporting to the teachers and investing our time and resources in each child’s educational journey. Thank you for every act of volunteerism (seen and unseen). You truly have been a faithful hug of support to the teachers and students at NFES. Have a great summer and I look forward to seeing you next year!
