VOLUNTEER INSTRUCTIONS:
BEFORE you volunteer make sure that you are signed up with the school prior to the event. For the safety of the students, the school is a part of the "raptor" system. Take a minute and stop by the front Office and they will scan your license. It is a quick process, and once you are signed in, you will be able to volunteer with a quick sign-on and will not need to show ID.
Can I bring my younger child with me?
NO. We are sorry, but for safety and security reasons, this event is only for GMS 6th graders with wristbands and GMS Parent volunteers, no siblings.
Will I be able interact with my child?
Somewhat, this is an opportunity for your child to interact with his/her peers. We try to staff each area with enough volunteers so that everyone can enjoy the social and their kids! If your area is covered and coordinator releases you for a break, you can have some time with them, remember no photos please.
