Volunteer Expectations

  • CHCCS’ expectation for all volunteers is that they will be supervised by a CHCCS staff member and follow all staff-directed procedures while on school property. Other guidelines include:

    • Never take a student off campus without written permission from the parents and the school principal.
      • CHCCS chaperones and general school volunteers: Please note that an approved background check does NOT mean you are approved to transport students.
    • Maintain confidentiality. Information regarding students must not be shared with anyone outside of the school.
    • Wear appropriate clothing at school. Clothing that is revealing or advertises anything inappropriate for children may not be worn while volunteering.
    • Be sensitive to all of the students’ various diverse backgrounds, cultural experiences, and achievement levels.
    • Do not administer medications or food to any student.
    • Do not exchange phone numbers or text messages with students.
    • CHCCS are smoke-free, alcohol-free, and drug-free zones.
    • If you hear or see anything that may be deemed a threat to the safety of students or staff, contact a staff member immediately.
    • If there is a potential threat or unsafe situation, your role as a volunteer is to follow the directions of staff.
    • To ensure the safest learning environment possible, we ask that all visitors and volunteers please enter the buildings through the main entrance at each school.


    AVID tutors, Blue Ribbon Mentors and volunteer athletics coaches may have different procedures and expectations. Please contact those programs for more information.
