    Volunteers Needed!

    Parent Liaisons - Becca Pakter & Alissa Ostroot

    Becca and Alissa serve as a liaison between teachers, parents, students, support staff and the community regarding educational programs, services and various student issues; assist in coordinating and arranging various programs and services to meet the needs of students. Research shows that the number one indicator of a child’s success in school is parent involvement. Including, attending conferences, checking grades on Parent Portal, providing a quiet study location, or having family dinners and discussing your child’s day. There are also many opportunities here at Prairie View. Most are one-time events or fundraisers averaging a one to two-hour commitment. 

     

    Special Talents?

    We are also interested in your special talents. Would you be willing to come and share with a class about your job, travels, hobbies or anything else unique to you? Do you enjoy gardening or repairing items? Get creative! We would love to find a special place for you!
     
    Background Checks
     
    • Criminal background checks are required for volunteers who will have contact with students.
    • Contact with students includes field trips that involve a volunteer in charge of a group, and students are not directly under the supervision of a district employee at all times.
    • Contact with students also includes any activity in the building where students may be in proximity of the volunteer, and students are not directly under the supervision of a district employee at all times.
    • The cost of volunteer background checks is $10.25 payable by applicants via the Trusted Employees website. Only personal credit cards are accepted.
    • Background checks for volunteers must be renewed every three school years.
