Volunteer Guidelines

To Be A Successful Volunteer Frisco ISD Encourages Volunteers to:

Have an Interest in our Students

• Believe that each child can learn and succeed.
• Accept children of all ages, abilities, backgrounds and personality.

Support the Staff

• Be respectful of teachers.
• Do not publicly question or criticize the teacher or the methods used.
• Ensure that your interpretation of rules and expectations matches that of the school or classroom.
• Involve appropriate school personnel when students disobey school or classroom rules; don’t take corrective measures into your own hands.

Be Committed and Dependable

• Make sure you have the time to serve.
• Be prompt and reliable; people are counting on you to be there!
• Set an example for the students by dressing appropriately and demonstrating good citizenship.
• Let us know if schedule changes prevent you from keeping a commitment.

• Ensure that children’s work and behavior are held in confidence.
• Discuss matters relating to a student’s behavior and performance only with appropriate school staff members.

Communicate

• Ask if you are unsure about how equipment works or how your job is supposed to be completed—there are no silly questions!
• Don’t let small problems turn into big ones.
• Provide feedback to the appropriate person about volunteer experiences.
