  2. MPS Motto Middletown Primary is a “great place to come and learn.” We hope you will join us in carrying on this motto.

  3. Purpose of Orientation • To welcome and thank all of our volunteers. • To acquaint you with our policies, procedures and building initiatives. • To answer any questions you may have about volunteering at MPS. • To tour MPS and become acclimated with our equipment.

  4. What is volunteering? • An integral part of our school program. • Working with individual students or small groups of students under the discretion of the teacher. • Assisting the teacher with a variety of organizational tasks • Completing volunteer work at home • Babysitting for a parent while they are volunteering.

  5. Scheduling • Teachers and/teams will create volunteer schedules based on their specific needs and classroom activities. • Schedules will be sent out. • Please follow the schedule. If you have extra time for volunteering, always contact the teacher first for approval.

  6. Attendance • Teachers rely on you to be a key player in the instructional program. • Please call the school if you are unable to volunteer on your scheduled day. 240-566-0200

  9. Sign In • In compliance with the law, all visitors coming into the building must sign in and wear an identification badge. • The visitor laptop is located in the front office. • Your hours of service make a difference!

  10. Confidentiality • A priority! • Information about a student or teacher should never be discussed outside of the school or with another person unless it is with a necessary staff member. • Contact the teacher or an administrator with any concerns that you may have. • Thank you for your help in keeping MPS information or data secure.

  11. Food Allergy Precautions • Food items of any kind should never be distributed to a child without the permission of the homeroom teacher. • If a child complains to you that they aren’t feeling well, please inform the teacher immediately.

  12. Respecting Instructional Time • When you come in to volunteer, this is NOT the time to have a meeting with the teacher to discuss your child’s progress. • If you need to meet with a teacher, please set up a different time and place that is convenient to both. • Please respect the teacher’s planning time and other special duties.

  13. Discipline • Discipline of all students is to be done by a staff member. • Please do not distribute personal notes, tokens or prizes without teacher approval. • If you are working with a child or a small group and difficulty arises, let the teacher know immediately. • Remember it is the behavior of the student we disapprove of, not the student. • Staff members will distribute CC Awards.

  14. Reporting Suspected Child Abuse or Neglect • Address your concerns with a staff member and/or an administrator. We will assist you with the process for reporting abuse or neglect.
