Volunteering @ Lockhart Elementary
We are always looking for school volunteers! Volunteers are needed in classrooms, office, special areas, and for special events. Parents, grandparents, and community members are all encouraged to volunteer.
If you are interested in becoming a school volunteer please talk with your child’s teacher or call the school office (266-8525). Your interest and involvement is needed and crucial to the success of our school.
Prior to beginning volunteer work, prospective volunteers must register online in the Media Center (this is required annually). Volunteers are also required to log all hours in the office. Please call Mrs. Frazier in the office if you would like to volunteer. We need you!
Getting Involved
People who want to help children will find many ways to volunteer in the schools. They help in the classroom, on the practice field, in the office, in the library or in the computer lab. Schools need adults to help personalize learning for students and help children see where today's classroom lessons apply in the community.
Levels of volunteers
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4
REgistration
Persons who volunteer in the school will be asked to provide information and to select the types of volunteer activities in which they are interested. Volunteers are requested to use a school's designated computer to submit their registration on the WCPSS Intranet site or go to WCPSS Customer Service Center at Crossroads II Cary, NC and register on one of the designated computers for customers.
Once registration is submitted, a volunteer number will be assigned. The volunteer number may be provided on individuals reactivating their registration to eliminate duplications and quicken the clearance process. Registration in Spanish is also available.
The computer screen also provides a check-list of volunteer activities in all levels. Persons volunteering for Level 3 and 4 will be asked to provide additional information for a criminal background check; for example, driver's license, social security number, and addresses for residences during the last seven years.
screening
Applications for Level 2 or higher activities would take part in a school-led orientation. Applicants for Level 3 or higher activities activities would have a criminal background check. Any checks that indicate a criminal arrest are reviewed by WCPSS Central Services Volunteer Administration.
Wake's advanced registration and screening system helps the school system stay informed through an ongoing link with the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts. With the addition of the program's link in 2006, additional background checks are not necessary with a volunteer's registration in activities for level 3 or higher after the initial check is completed. Volunteers who have previously registered must reactivate their status if they paln to participate another year. Annual reactivation occurs after July 1 of every year.
